Use headphone controls to take photo in camera apps. - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I've seen this ability in the iPhone from online info and wondered if its possible to do on android, however I would like to be able to do this in any app that takes a photo, not just the stock camera app.
Anyone know if this is possible in any way? I've read it may be possible with tasker but I'm not sure how.

[Q] record video while running other app?

I just got my new galaxy note (i717) on friday (immediately flashing it with OnlyOne beta 2 (ics)) and I would like to use it for a bit of podcasting using the front camera to record myself while I read text from some teleprompter software.
I can record video from the front camera just fine, and it actually comes out a bit higher quality than I expected even, but for the life of me, when i hit the record button and then switch away from the camera app to the prompter app, it gives me an audio notification that the camera has stopped recording.
is there prompter software that has an integrated video recorder? (that'd be pretty sweet imho) or better, some way to record video while another app (that's not particularly resource intensive) is in use? - I don't mind trimming and cutting the video together (there are actually some pretty decent editing tools for android i've found) but I can't figure out a way to record and prompt at the same time...
does anybody have any ideas?
I'm rather surprised that nobody seems to have any ideas on this... could someone at least please relay to me why this isn't possible (if it's not possible)?
I would think that this would be a reasonably popular thing to do (recording video whilst looking at a prompter or even a web page or something to do podcasting stuff...
Is this something I'm going to have to write? (I have no idea how to dev android apps).
well i'm glad to see that google does a good job at finding appropriate threads - here it is, a couple of months later, and I'm revisiting the same problem that I had before - I still can't record and prompt at the same time on my i717 (now running cm9 / cm10, not that it should matter)... I still don't get it.
i don't know what to say , u searched a program on google?i believe that is here at least 1 program for your note
Video app with built in teleprompter
There is a great teleprompter/video recording app. It's called VRT2. Unfortunately you would have to downgrade to an iPad to get it. When I saw it, I was tempted o make the switch, but I don't want to give up the advanced features of my Samsung Note 10.
I'm hoping that a great Android app developer will create something like the VRT2 soon.
When it's ready, I'm ready to buy it.
I still can't seem to find anything that does this and it would be *great* for quick video podcasting... I just want to be able to record myself on the front camera while either reading my notes or looking at a teleprompter with the outline i've created for the segment.
Video recorder teleprompter
Have you found any other software to video you with front facing camera with teleprompter on screen?
I know Ipad have one on itunes costing somewhere 24 dollars or £18 which is a professional one, not tried it but I now it does record you and at the same time has all the words you want to talk about in front of you.
Keep up to date, I don't know which tablet to buy because of this problem.

[Q] IPwebcam app

Hi,
anyone ever tried this app?
https://play.google.com/store/apps/...lt#?t=W251bGwsMSwxLDEsImNvbS5wYXMud2ViY2FtIl0.
It's pretty cool, but i'd like to use it in a different way.
I need it to take photos in full resoultion. I want to set up my phone in a place and then take photos by controling from pc. This works fine with the app.
But: the full-res option only takes photo with 1MP instead of 5MO (HTC HD2)
Anyone else experiencing this problem (also with other phones) ?
By the way: Is there any other app for this purpose? So i can remotely control the camera of my phone?

[Q] Photosphere like app but w/o stitching photos together?

Hi, I have been trying out the Photosphere app and love the interface but its ability to stitch photos together isn’t quite perfect. I was wondering if anyone knew if there was either a way to make the camera app just take the photos and not automatically stitch them together (so they can the stitched together later using an external program like ptgui) or if there was another app out there that has a similar interface that allowed for this? (I’ve only found focal so far and it doesn’t seem to allow non-automated stitching either).

[Q] zoom doesn't work in an app

I have an app I use to take photos and it takes over the camera and flash fine and does the photo uploading for me. The problem is it doesn't allow the zoom to work in any format with the S4 zoom. Is there something I can change on the camera or is this simply a flaw in the app software that is preventing the zoom feature from working?
Someone might know of a trick but I bet it voids the warranty!
I imagine the app is designed just for camera phones in general rather than specifically for optical zoom versions as there aren't many of them around!
I've noticed that the K Zoom can't zoom in when used within Whatsapp.
What is the app you use?
The app is Provision by Vauto. I've talked to the app developers and they said it's not made to work with any zoom. It would be nice if there was a way to make it let me use the camera in its native state because the uploading feature of the app saves me a lot of desktop time copying and uploading photos from a digital camera but the quality of the pictures aren't up to par if I can't use the camera's features. I don't mind voiding the warranty on the phone if there was a way to get around it.
Thanks for the reply!

Custom video feed as camera source.

Okay this might be hard to understand but I am trying to 'fake' camera source. So suppose I have a video that I want to be used as a Camera Source.
This is kinda hard to explain but imagine you open Snapchat or Periscope app, both app use your camera, now when you open the app instead of getting the feed/image from your hardware camera it gets its "feed" from a pre-set video or another source such as a USB cam or similar.
Ofcourse Id need root for such hackery but I cant think of what to Google to find solutions. Anyone wanna help haha
Did you ever find a solution?
