Camera Module issues

[tobydigz]

I'm using a Raspberry pi camera Rev 1.3. The capture callback is never called.
After further testing, if i set a repeating capture request the callback onCaptureFailed is finally called.
Could this be a problem with my camera or something else?

There may be hardware issues with certain cameras, but I'll leave the issue open.

Is everyone using DP5.1?

[tobydigz]

I had to switch cameras. Not sure though if the camera was faulty or was just incompatible. (It also didn't work when I tried using it with Raspbian installed)

Did anyone get any solution for the issue?

Tried in Raspbian, the camera worked. Still doesn't work in Android Things.

@yihanseattle Did you find any solution for this ?

Same answer just copy the answer here. Hope will give some help.

After some study, just found this is also causing by the security setting.
Can be solved by the following step:
#1. Install the app
#2. Reboot,
#3. Start the app again

It was said Android 3.0 already know it is AndroidThings, and will grand the permission automatically,
But my IDE is Android 3.01, still need to reboot.

Just some update for this topic, there is another problem causing the camera not working is the USB power, I connect this to a USB2.0 port, then it not able to init the camera, even I reboot after install the app.

Then I connect to USB3.0 port, then it works fine, this should causing by the init power for camera need additional 200-300mA, that maybe not supported by my USB2.0 port.
