Apps Camera Use in Application Autonomously

[barkly]

Hi,

I am trying to develope a autonomous application that requires the camera to take a picture at a set interval and then upload to the internet. Is it possible to use the in built camera application to do this? Or as there is no human interaction is it not possible?

eg. Can you use the current camera app from a different application, and take a picture without a touching a button?

Cheers for any help
Alex
