Whenever I run the cam_thread I get the error "app passed NULL surface". This code supposedly works on the HTC Incredible 1. I've reconfigured it slightly to run on a droid x. However I still get this error.
public class Android_Activity extends Activity
{
Main_thread simulator;
ToggleButton togglebutton;

SensorManager sm = null;
SurfaceView view;
Sensors_thread the_sensors=null;
String IP_address;

@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState)
{
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.main);
view = new SurfaceView(this);
sm = (SensorManager) getSystemService(SENSOR_SERVICE);
ip_text = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.IP_edit_txt);
togglebutton = (ToggleButton) findViewById(R.id.CameraButton);
togglebutton.setOnClickListener(new btn_listener());
the_app = this;
}
@Override
protected void onResume()
{
super.onResume();
}
protected void onStop()
{
super.onStop();
simulator.stop_simu();
this.finish();
}
private class btn_listener implements OnClickListener
{
public void onClick(View v)
{
// Perform action on clicks
if (togglebutton.isChecked())
{
IP_address = ip_text.getText().toString();
simulator = new Main_thread(the_app, view, sm, IP_address);
the_sensors = simulator.the_sensors;
sm.registerListener(the_sensors,
SensorManager.SENSOR_ORIENTATION |SensorManager.SENSOR_ACCELEROMETER,
SensorManager.SENSOR_DELAY_UI);
simulator.start();
Toast.makeText(Android_Activity.this, "Start streaming" + IP_address, Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
} else
{
simulator.stop_simu();
sm.unregisterListener(the_sensors);
Toast.makeText(Android_Activity.this, "Stop streaming", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
}
}
