camera and eSWT

[ovjo12]

Hi,
I Need some help, I don't know what i wrong, but I know my application crash because of takePicture().
I have eSWT UI thread, in my application I also have a Controller class. The Camera UI is open like this:

testDryckListUI.setVisible(false);
snapperUI.initialize();
snapperUI.open();

The snapperUI look like this:

package se.ojn.xxx.ui;

There may be two problems here.
(1) You are referencing to LCDUI image on the imports. This may cause problems during start up.
(2) Also It looks like you have two VideoControl and one of them is probably not initialized corectly.

Thanks I have now change what you found was wrong in my code.
But it don't work anyway.

My big big problem is the Nokia N97 SDK 1.0 emulator, it crash after a while when I run it, so I can't use it when develop eSWT applications.
So I have to develop my application and then test it on my Nokia E75, this make it hard to find problems in the code

I know where the problem is in the code, it is because of startCamera(), the code now look like this:

public void startCamera() {
        mPlayer = null;
        try {
            mPlayer = Manager.createPlayer("capture://video");
            mPlayer.realize();         
            mVideoControl = (VideoControl) mPlayer.getControl("VideoControl");
            Control vControl = (Control) mVideoControl.initDisplayMode(VideoControl.USE_GUI_PRIMITIVE, Control.class.getName());
            vControl.setParent(snapperShell);
            Rectangle r = vControl.getBounds();
            mVideoControl.setDisplaySize(r.width, r.height);
            mVideoControl.setVisible(true);
            mPlayer.start();
        } catch (IOException ioe) {
            System.out.println("Error: " + ioe);
            showMessage(ioe.toString());
            //errorMessage = "Error: " + ioe;
            //throw new IOException(errorMessage);
        } catch (MediaException me) {
            System.out.println("Error: " + me);
            showMessage(me.toString());
            //errorMessage = "Error: " + me;
            //throw new MediaException(errorMessage);
        } catch (Exception me) {
            System.out.println("Error: " + me);
            showMessage(me.toString());
            //errorMessage = "Error: " + me;
            //throw new Exception(errorMessage);
        }
    }

    private void showMessage(String message){
        TimedMessageBox box = new TimedMessageBox(snapperShell, SWT.ICON_ERROR);
        box.setMessage(message);
        box.open();
    }

I don't get any error, the application crash with no errors.
What to do?
