How to set camera focus value manually in Android

问题:

I intend to create an application that can take photos in the following way:

• When the user touches the screen, it starts to take photos
• It takes several photos within a few microseconds, each with different focus

In pseudocode:

Camera camera=getAndroidCamera();
for(i<10)
{
  camera.setFocus(i*0.1);
  camera.takePhoto(path,pictureName+i);
}

So basically I intend to take photos of the same object with different values of focus.

According to this, it is not possible, only assisted autofocus is viable.

Can you confirm it?

If possible, how should I do it? Should I set autofocus to different areas?

Answer -- Android setFocusArea and Auto Focus

All I had to do is cancel previously called autofocus. Basically the correct order of actions is this:

protected void focusOnTouch(MotionEvent event) {
    if (camera != null) {

        camera.cancelAutoFocus();
        Rect focusRect = calculateTapArea(event.getX(), event.getY(), 1f);
        Rect meteringRect = calculateTapArea(event.getX(), event.getY(), 1.5f);

        Parameters parameters = camera.getParameters();
        parameters.setFocusMode(Parameters.FOCUS_MODE_AUTO);
        parameters.setFocusAreas(Lists.newArrayList(new Camera.Area(focusRect, 1000)));

        if (meteringAreaSupported) {
            parameters.setMeteringAreas(Lists.newArrayList(new Camera.Area(meteringRect, 1000)));
        }

        camera.setParameters(parameters);
        camera.autoFocus(this);
    }}

..... update

@Override
public void surfaceChanged(SurfaceHolder holder, int format, int width, int height) {
    ...
    Parameters p = camera.getParameters();
    if (p.getMaxNumMeteringAreas() > 0) {
       this.meteringAreaSupported = true;
    }
    ...
}

/**
 * Convert touch position x:y to {@link Camera.Area} position -1000:-1000 to 1000:1000.
 */
private Rect calculateTapArea(float x, float y, float coefficient) {
    int areaSize = Float.valueOf(focusAreaSize * coefficient).intValue();

    int left = clamp((int) x - areaSize / 2, 0, getSurfaceView().getWidth() - areaSize);
    int top = clamp((int) y - areaSize / 2, 0, getSurfaceView().getHeight() - areaSize);

    RectF rectF = new RectF(left, top, left + areaSize, top + areaSize);
    matrix.mapRect(rectF);

    return new Rect(Math.round(rectF.left), Math.round(rectF.top), Math.round(rectF.right), Math.round(rectF.bottom));
}

private int clamp(int x, int min, int max) {
    if (x > max) {
        return max;
    }
    if (x < min) {
        return min;
    }
    return x;
}
