EasyCamera

Wrapper around the android Camera class that simplifies its usage (<a href="http://techblog.bozho.net/?p=1380">read more</a> about the process)

Usage:

// the surface where the preview will be displayed
SurfaceView surfaceView = (SurfaceView) findViewById(R.id.surfaceView);
EasyCamera camera = DefaultEasyCamera.open();
CameraActions actions = camera.startPreview(surfaceView.getHolder());
PictureCallback callback = new PictureCallback() {
    public void onPictureTaken(byte[] data, CameraActions actions) {
        // store picture
    }
};
actions.takePicture(Callbacks.create().withJpegCallback(callback));

By default, preview stops when a picture is taken. If you want to restart preview, specify .withRestartPreviewAfterCallbacks(true) on the Callbacks object

If you need the android.hardware.Camera object, get it via camera.getRawCamera()
