[Android-development] Qt 5.5 / Android / Device Camera

[Darryl Hunter]

Hello Frederik,

Thank you for your reply.

Yes, I have tried that example.  And several others, with no success.

I have just re-built my app using QML (a learning curve I've been putting
off for too long, as there's always too much work to do, and no time to do
learning :)) and it's working now.

Darryl
