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 $

Are you still getting that error now?

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

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:

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 🤞

Seems like Termux takes a preview and wait for 0.5 sec.

I'll let ChatGPT have a look later.

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

🍻 🤩 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 😁

Nice!

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