[🚀 Feature Request ]: Documentation for how the current camera system works/support for image injection #376

Closed Loeing closed 1 year ago

Loeing commented 1 year ago

Idea

The current camera system differs from the vanilla Android SDK. Rather than being presented with a virtual room that can be navigated there is the pixelated image of a house. It would be useful to know how this system works. All the resource files for the classical way to present the virtual camera exist in the container under /opt/android/emulator/resources but don't seem to be utilized.

Probelm to solve

In the Vanilla version of the SDK it is possible to do image injection via posters (as demonstrated in #128 ) the currently adding a poster does nothing as the container does not appear to be utilizing the virtual room. Support for this feature would be very welcome.

After poring over the android emulator man pages/ and config.ini files, it's become apparent that you can get the virtual scene to show up in the emulator by passing in a -camera-back virtualscene argument. As far as Docker Android is concerned this just means adding -camera-back virtualscene and/or -camera-front virtualscene to the EMULATOR_ADDTIONAL_ARGS environment variable. You should then be able to do camera injection as normal. Be warned: doing this seems to override the skin somehow and you're likely to end up with a virtual pixel. No idea why that happens.
