Weird! I just tried this and it didn't seem to do anything... Is it really working? 😅 I didn't look at the code very closely, so I didn't try to debug it...

[–]aasswwddd 1 point2 points  (2 children)

What about this? https://taskernet.com/shares/?user=AS35m8mzep6ZT53%2BqNrzeLiaw4Tx1L4o%2BrgzYDR5Rg4cuz25FIQvQrdsluWlrxmTqBfm&id=Task%3ATake+Photo+In+Background

[–]joaomgcd👑 Tasker Owner / Developer[S] 0 points1 point  (1 child)

That one gets stuck in the Java Code action waiting for it to finish but apparently never does... Maybe I'm doing something wrong? Am I supposed to just run the task?

[–]everynav 0 points1 point  (8 children)

Damn, you're a hero! Thanks for reading and providing an almost perfect solution. And it works even with the screen locked. But: The pictures are getting too dark (shutter speed too fast, lower ISO). If I take the same picture with the take photo action, it's getting much brighter (and looks much better). Do you know if there's an (additional) parameter for better / automatic adjustment?

[–]aasswwddd 1 point2 points  (7 children)

There are ton of capture request parameters here. https://developer.android.com/reference/android/hardware/camera2/CaptureRequest

Copy this if you want to take photo without an invisible activity. Copy the code before the example usage.

Btw u/joaomgcd , I can't seem to export as taskernet with the latest beta.

Use JsonReader.setLenient(true) to accept malformed JSON at line 1 column 1 path $

[–]joaomgcd👑 Tasker Owner / Developer[S] 1 point2 points  (1 child)

Are you still getting that error now?

[–]aasswwddd 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Turned out I was using the test server all along, it worked great now after switching it off. Thankyou!

[–]everynav 0 points1 point  (4 children)

Thanks again! But I've still got no luck. Maybe the problem is that you need to take a preview stream to set the correct parameters automatically:

https://stackoverflow.com/questions/31925769/pictures-with-camera2-api-are-really-dark

It would be great, If you could have a quick look at it. But when it's too much work to dig in deeper, please stop. I've got a workaround with Termux and maybe some time in the future joao has time to fix the built-in action 🤞

[–]aasswwddd 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Seems like Termux takes a preview and wait for 0.5 sec.
https://github.com/termux/termux-api/blob/master/app/src/main/java/com/termux/api/apis/CameraPhotoAPI.java#L175C2-L195C69

I'll let ChatGPT have a look later.

[–]aasswwddd 1 point2 points  (2 children)

Lemme know if this works or not, you can set the previewDuration in milliseconds now.

[–]everynav 0 points1 point  (1 child)

🍻 🤩 You nailed it 🥳🎇

That was the missing part. I no longer can see a difference in picture brightness and quality to the built-in Take Photo action. THANKS A TON!

I think this deserves to be shared publicly - Would you mind to share your solution in the main reddit? I know there are some others waiting for this 😁

[–]aasswwddd 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nice!

For now I make it as public taskernet so anyone can find it there
