front camera take very dark capture in android

Question

I am taking photo capture using front camera using my custom camera app not using system camera app.But the captured photo is very dark so can see photo properly.

my code

mCamera = Camera.open(1);
Camera.Parameters params =mCamera.getParameters();
params.setSceneMode(Camera.Parameters.SCENE_MODE_NIGHT);
mCamera.setParameters(params);

And to take picture

if (mCamera != null) {
try {
 mCamera.setPreviewDisplay(mSurfaceHolder);
 mCamera.startPreview();
 mCamera.takePicture(null, mPictureCallback,
 mPictureCallback);
} catch (IOException e) {
 e.printStackTrace();
    }
}

Thanks in advance. Please give me suggestions. any help will be appreciated.

Answer 1

To solve this problem you could take the picture after some time. Try this:

new Handler().postDelayed(new Runnable() {
  @Override
  public void run() {
      camera.takePicture(null, null, cameraCallback);
  }
}, 1000);

I have found following solution for this, And that worked for me

Wait for some time i.e. 500 ms before capture image using

mCamera.takePicture(null, mPictureCallback,mPictureCallback);
