addEventListener("picture_taken") not being called anymore since 0.6

[orangemechanic]

function refreshPictureSuccess(e){ alert("Image "+e.path); } camera_view.addEventListener("picture_taken", refreshPictureSuccess);

the Alert is never called when camera_view.snapPicture(); is fired.

in the console, it return this:

[INFO] : CameraViewProxy: (main) [2817,21127] Front Camera Property exists!

The file is correctly stored... but not returned to Titanium/App

After narrowing down a bit, the Event is not triggered when you create then remove and re-create an instance of CameraView.

1 At Creation > it works

var camera_view = APP.CAM.createCameraView({ save_location: "topit", width:APP.CORE.width, height:APP.CORE.width * camera_ratio, useFrontCamera: true }); $.vwCameraLayer.add(camera_view);

function actionTakePicture(){ camera_view.snapPicture(); }

2 After taking a picture (successful) i remove the CameraView within the picture_taken event

function refreshPictureSuccess(e){ alert("Image "+e.path); $.vwCameraLayer.remove(camera_view); } camera_view.addEventListener("picture_taken", refreshPictureSuccess);

3 Then i click on a button RETAKE to recreate a new CameraView and from there, the event is not more fired as per normal

function actionRetakePicture(){ camera_view = APP.CAM.createCameraView({ save_location: "topit", width:APP.CORE.width, height:APP.CORE.width * camera_ratio, useFrontCamera: true }); $.vwCameraLayer.add(camera_view); }

FALSE ALERT. I've found the stupid but logic parade to fix it.

When you re-create a new CameraView instance, you have to rebind the addEventListener.

That makes sense. When the camera_view is removed, it is deallocated from memory (or flagged for garbage collection), meaning the old event listener binding is also deallocated.
