How to display the camera & take snapshots in Java ME

The following code is used for camera display:

public void cameraPlayer() {
    try {
        player = Manager.createPlayer("capture://video");
        player.realize();
 
        videoControl = (VideoControl)player.getControl("VideoControl");
        player.start();
    } catch (Exception e) {} 
}

The following code is used for capturing images using camera in Java ME:

byte[] raw = videoControl .getSnapshot(null);
Image image = Image.createImage(raw, 0, raw.length);

TODO: list available modes, and when you need to use a different locator
