I want to implement a functionality to capture image through front camera when someone tries to unlock my device and enter incorrect password 3 times. I checked that it is possible in Android and some applications are also available in Market.
I have done some work to achieve this but I am getting a black Image. Here's the code :
Register with Device admin to get the broadcast for incorrect password attempt :
public class DeviceAdminSample extends DeviceAdminReceiver {
static Context ctx;
static SharedPreferences getSamplePreferences(Context context) {
ctx = context;
return context.getSharedPreferences(
DeviceAdminReceiver.class.getName(), 0);
}
@Override
public void onPasswordFailed(Context context, Intent intent) {
super.onPasswordFailed(context, intent);
System.out.println("Password Attempt is Failed...");
Intent i = new Intent(context, CameraView.class);
i.setFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK);
context.startActivity(i);
}
}
Camera Class to capture image and save it to SD Card :
public class CameraView extends Activity implements SurfaceHolder.Callback,
OnClickListener {
private static final String TAG = "CameraTest";
Camera mCamera;
boolean mPreviewRunning = false;
public void onCreate(Bundle icicle) {
super.onCreate(icicle);
Log.e(TAG, "onCreate");
setContentView(R.layout.cameraview);
mSurfaceView = (SurfaceView) findViewById(R.id.surface_camera);
// mSurfaceView.setOnClickListener(this);
mSurfaceHolder = mSurfaceView.getHolder();
mSurfaceHolder.addCallback(this);
mSurfaceHolder.setType(SurfaceHolder.SURFACE_TYPE_PUSH_BUFFERS);
mSurfaceHolder.setKeepScreenOn(true);
// mSurfaceHolder.setType(SurfaceHolder.SURFACE_TYPE_PUSH_BUFFERS);
}
@Override
protected void onRestoreInstanceState(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onRestoreInstanceState(savedInstanceState);
}
protected void onResume() {
Log.e(TAG, "onResume");
super.onResume();
}
protected void onSaveInstanceState(Bundle outState) {
super.onSaveInstanceState(outState);
}
protected void onStop() {
Log.e(TAG, "onStop");
super.onStop();
}
public void surfaceChanged(SurfaceHolder holder, int format, int w, int h) {
Log.e(TAG, "surfaceChanged");
// XXX stopPreview() will crash if preview is not running
if (mPreviewRunning) {
mCamera.stopPreview();
}
Camera.Parameters p = mCamera.getParameters();
mCamera.setParameters(p);
mCamera.startPreview();
mPreviewRunning = true;
mCamera.takePicture(null, null, mPictureCallback);
}
public void surfaceDestroyed(SurfaceHolder holder) {
Log.e(TAG, "surfaceDestroyed");
// mCamera.stopPreview();
// mPreviewRunning = false;
// mCamera.release();
stopCamera();
}

mCamera.takePicture(null, mPictureCallback, mPictureCallback);

int i = findFrontFacingCamera();

while (true) {
