Hi

Is there a way, when in camera mode to make the actual view fullscreen? Im sure in previous releases this was the case, certianly on the n95 if not the n95 8 gig. The problem i have is that im trying to make an app that allows people to add a caption to an image. The generated image will be 240*320. So ideally i just want them to snap exactly what the saved image will look like. Which isnt the case currently.

I hope the above is clear enough:)

thx in advance

Hi Kinski,
good comment. It is true that it was fullscreen once.

When viewfinder was fullscreen it had also bitmaps instead standard softkey text, but it was dropped away due bitmap drawing positions required too much phone specific orientation handling.
Instead fullscreen, standard display is shown with softkey texts, which narrow picture unfortunately. But system handles the sofkey text orientation
right for each phone model, which is most important.

I hope you understand why we need to stick this current implementation Smiley

Cheers,
Jukka

Hi Jukka

Thanks for the reply. I understand why, however it makes the app Im working a worse user experience unless Im misisng somethign very obvious. The older version worked perfectly as basically what you saw/took an image of is what you got. Now the way its set up the image that loads in isnt the same as what the user captured, as I resize it to 240*320 it squahses it up. Is there now way an apsect ratio can be used so that people who capture an image in potrait mode (which is msot likely usage id imagine) capture an image thats proportinally correct?

regards

Hi,
this all is phone specific. I don't see fullscreen a problem in N95, some phones models viewfinder is more and less inaccurate.
For taking picture in exact resolution, you can try klSize=640*480, which I think
all phones should support (if not, it will automatically drop closest), then aspect ration would keep the same after resize command.

Best,
Jukka
