Can't make a photo on an Acer Iconia A1-830

wolf81 commented 5 years ago

What are you trying to achieve or the steps to reproduce?

I'm trying to take a picture on an Acer Iconia A1-830 device. I don't own the device myself, but I make use of Microsoft AppCenter, which allows me to run UITests on many different devices. I believe people can use a limited amount of hours for free every month, so one should be able to reproduce in AppCenter if one doesn't own this device.

By the way on most devices I test with -using the same configuration- Fotoapparat works fine, so great work in that regard!

How did you initialize FA?

this.camera = Fotoapparat
        .with(this)
        .into(cameraView)
        .lensPosition(LensPositionSelectorsKt.back())
        .photoResolution(ResolutionSelectorsKt.lowestResolution())
        .previewResolution(ResolutionSelectorsKt.lowestResolution())
        .previewScaleType(ScaleType.CenterCrop)
        .flash(off())
        .focusMode(SelectorsKt.firstAvailable(
                FocusModeSelectorsKt.continuousFocusPicture(),
                FocusModeSelectorsKt.autoFocus(),
                FocusModeSelectorsKt.fixed(),
                FocusModeSelectorsKt.infinity()
        ))
        .logger(LoggersKt.logcat())
        .cameraErrorCallback((exception) -> {
            Log.e(TamperSecure.TAG, exception.toString());
        })
        .build();

What was the result you received?

The following is shown in the logs when trying to take a photo:

I believe the issue has something to do with Flash, but I believe I configured Flash correctly (it's set to off and that seems to be the only possible config). This part of the log could (in my opinion) point to the issue:

What did you expect?

To be able to make a successful photo :)

FA version: Android 4.2.2

Sorry for the late reply.

It does indeed look like you are setting the flash correctly. However, just for the sake of experiment, could you try setting flash to some other values and see if that helps? If it does, it would give me an idea on where to start looking for the issue.

wolf81 commented 5 years ago

@dmitry-zaitsev I've been looking a bit deeper into this issue today and I believe another tablet (Kobo Arc 7HD) likely has the same issue.

I believe flash mode may not be set to off for both devices, instead the flash mode shouldn't exist at all or perhaps the value for flash should be set to nothing() / null. Both devices likely not have flash hardware anyway, since they're both tablets. I wanted to verify my assumptions, but I don't know how I would be able to set the value of flash to null (or nothing()), seems to be not allowed in fotoapparat.
