Webcam Texture and Flashlite (Android)
Hello everyone, I had a problem to start the webcam of my Android smartphone with the torch. If I run before the code of the webcam you can be seen, but the flash does not light! but if I leave before the flash he works, but the webcam can not see! how do I fix?
This is the code in C#
// ############## FLASH ON #############################
AndroidJavaObject javaCamera;
AndroidJavaClass cameraClass = new AndroidJavaClass("android.hardware.Camera");
int camID = 0;
javaCamera = cameraClass.CallStatic<AndroidJavaObject>("open", camID);
AndroidJavaObject cameraParameters = javaCamera.Call<AndroidJavaObject>("getParameters");
cameraParameters.Call("setFlashMode", "torch");
javaCamera.Call("setParameters", cameraParameters);
// ############## FLASH ON #############################
// ############## WEBCAM PLAY #############################
WebCamTexture webcamTexture = new WebCamTexture();
Renderer renderer = GetComponent<Renderer>();
renderer.material.mainTexture = webcamTexture;
webcamTexture.Play();renderer.material.mainTexture = webcamTexture;
webcamTexture.Play();
// ############## WEBCAM PLAY #############################
I included these codes in the function start ();
The script must be applied on a 3D Panel
I'm looking into this, Can you answer some questions please:
When you say 3D Panel you mean a plane?
What version of Unity are you using?
What device are you building to?

I'm using Unity in company with version 5.1.3 I meant a Plane, and I was developing on Android 4.3. (I downloaded all the sdk)
I'm unable to get your script to work.
When making one from scratch I found that turning the flashlight off and on requires a plug-in:

Yes, but this only works for IOS and Android no :( it is possible that there is no one who can do this on Android?
Hello Fedybix93, It seems that it's not possible to access both camera and Flash at the same time ! after days of tests and discussion with plugin makers, you can start a camera, or start using Flashlight, but no possible ways to use both with WebCamTexture ... i'm trying to use alternate ways, but it seems difficult... Don't hésitate to post there good tips ...
For the moment, the only effective solution i found was to use Vuforia pluggin, wich seems to use $$anonymous$$ovieTexture ins$$anonymous$$d of WebcamTextures ...
Hi Fedybix93. Try the NatCam API. It supports torch control and many more features. And running the torch while the camera is running is on the roadmap.
