Extreme Problems accessing the Camera by an Midlet on the NOKIA 6230

[n3po]

Hi

I really have a serious problem with the nokia 6230. I cannot access the Camera by MIDP, everything i try fails

Heres the code:

-----------------------------

System.out.println("player erzeugen");
player = Manager.createPlayer("capture://video");
System.out.println("player erzeugt");
player.realize();
player.prefetch();
System.out.println("prefetch");
VideoControl vc = (VideoControl)player.getControl("VideoControl");
System.out.println("videocontroller");

i_videoitem = (Item)vc.initDisplayMode(VideoControl.USE_GUI_PRIMITIVE,null);
i_videoitem.setLayout(Item.LAYOUT_CENTER|Item.LAYOUT_VCENTER|Item.LAYOUT_2);
i_videoitem.addCommand(CMD_SHOOT);
i_videoitem.setItemCommandListener(this);

append(i_videoitem);
append(new Spacer(getWidth(),1));
addCommand(CMD_BACK);


player.start();


----------------------------------

My code works on the following devices / emulators:

Siemens S65,
WTK 2.2 emulator
Nokia 6230 Emulator (0.2 beta)

I get the livepicture of the camera as an formitem and i can take screenshots.
But it wont work on the (real) Nokia 6230 and the Nokia SDK 2.2 emulator.

I only get an screen wich displays "empty" where normally the Videoitem is displayed.

Its not just my application wich wont work on the 6230, every application i tried wich uses the camera wont work. The Snapper from Sun wont work as the MMA Example from the WTK - even an Exampleapplication from Nokia wont work - most of the time the programs crash when i try to execute them.

Please, if you have any idea what this problem can be - please give me an answer! If you know other Midlets wich use the camera - please give me the url where i can get them. Maybe i can find an working application - this would be a great step forward for me because at the moment i dont know if the 6230 is able to access the camera by j2me... :/

I really begin hating my cellphones

Thanks a lot in advance

Pretty much, anything you want to do in J2ME on the 6230,
you can't. Nokia did not provide the APIs.
