Nokia code sample not working

[kevinpw]

Hello,

I am using the S40 5th ed FP1 LITE SDK. I copy pasted this sample code and it did not work: http://wiki.forum.nokia.com/index.ph...ots_in_Java_ME


I debugged it and it is failing at this line:

player = Manager.createPlayer("capture://video");

The code immediately drops to this exception capture:

catch (MediaException me) {}

Can anyone help figure out what's wrong?

Thanks!

You might not be able to capture video in the emulator. Try a real phone.

thanks for your reply. unfortunately i don't have an S40 device. furthermore, if i open by emulator by itself, i can use its camera and take a picture as well. so that much i know is working. i don't know why this code is not working though.

Hello kevinpw,

AFAIK no Nokia SDK emulators can be used for taking pictures.

Alternatively, you could try Forum Nokia's Remote Device Access: http://www.forum.nokia.com/Technolog...Device_Access/

The Remote Device Access enables accessing to real Symbian devices online via Internet, i.e. those work ok for your code. The use of RDA is free, only Forum Nokia registration for login is required.

Hii,

some of the series 40 doesn't support 'capture://video' protocol. I face this problem on real device.
then i tried

player = Manager.createPlayer("capture://image");

which worked for me.

try with 'capture://image'
