I do not have a droid so I cannot test, but I have been reading around and people want the camera flash thing to light up to use as a flashlight so this might work. I just found this app today.
It was in a previous thread but it seems to have found its way to the back of the bunch so I will leave this up so people can learn about the app because with the droid camera sucking so much right now (focus wise) atleast we can have some good use for that insane dual LED.
Hey guys, just an idea, but perhaps we can collaborate? Care to share your code, and then we can put it on the market as a joint venture? It'll be OUR project.
Just an idea. And we can use google wave somehow to work on it? I'm new to wave, but it looks like it has potential.
Actually, I believe he meant the exact opposite conclusion. The API supports it. Its an implementation thing we have to work out, and if we shared the code it might be much easier to do. I have a feeling I'm pretty close with a barebones app, but I am still learning the syntax. Luckily, it seems to be modeled right after Java.
I'm certain I can get the app working, I just need a little guidance.
I agree that the API supports it, but that doesn't necessarily mean the Droid hardware/drivers support it. I think the whole point of calling getSupportedFlashModes() is to identify which modes the current hardware supports.
Anyway, has anyone gotten a chance to try it on the hardware? I didn't have time last night...

Doubt it... but who would have their LED's on for that long? I had an app on my old WM phone that turned the LED on - it would automatically turn it off after 120 seconds.
Hope this app comes to market!! That screen LCD light is crap, but we have a DUAL led flash, it would be awesome to get that baby cranking as a flashlight! Wish i could help figure out the code but i'd be useless!! lol. Good luck gang!

Apparently there was a silent update to the camera app... or camera hardware drivers... over the last couple of days. Perhaps the torch flash mode has been enabled as a consequence? Bears looking into.

When its on Auto, it fires the flash for a few seconds in dark situations while it auto-focuses. I'm wondering if there's some way to leverage that. Is there an event that fires when auto focus is complete? is there a way to force it to keep retrying? Just some thoughts... though that would probably burn through the battery quickly while you're forcing the camera to keep retrying.
