/**
 * The Camera class is used to set image capture settings, start/stop preview,
 * snap pictures, and retrieve frames for encoding for video.  This class is a
 * client for the Camera service, which manages the actual camera hardware.
 *
 * <p>To access the device camera, you must declare the
 * {@link android.Manifest.permission#CAMERA} permission in your Android
 * Manifest. Also be sure to include the
 * <a href="{@docRoot}guide/topics/manifest/uses-feature-element.html">&lt;uses-feature></a>
 * manifest element to declare camera features used by your application.
 * For example, if you use the camera and auto-focus feature, your Manifest
 * should include the following:</p>
 * <pre> &lt;uses-permission android:name="android.permission.CAMERA" />
 * &lt;uses-feature android:name="android.hardware.camera" />
 * &lt;uses-feature android:name="android.hardware.camera.autofocus" /></pre>
 *
 * <p>To take pictures with this class, use the following steps:</p>
 *
 * <ol>
 * <li>Obtain an instance of Camera from {@link #open(int)}.
 *
 * <li>Get existing (default) settings with {@link #getParameters()}.
 *
 * <li>If necessary, modify the returned {@link Camera.Parameters} object and call
 * {@link #setParameters(Camera.Parameters)}.
 *
 * <li>If desired, call {@link #setDisplayOrientation(int)}.
 *
 * <li><b>Important</b>: Pass a fully initialized {@link SurfaceHolder} to
 * {@link #setPreviewDisplay(SurfaceHolder)}.  Without a surface, the camera
 * will be unable to start the preview.
 *
 * <li><b>Important</b>: Call {@link #startPreview()} to start updating the
 * preview surface.  Preview must be started before you can take a picture.
 *
 * <li>When you want, call {@link #takePicture(Camera.ShutterCallback,
 * Camera.PictureCallback, Camera.PictureCallback, Camera.PictureCallback)} to
 * capture a photo.  Wait for the callbacks to provide the actual image data.
 *
 * <li>After taking a picture, preview display will have stopped.  To take more
 * photos, call {@link #startPreview()} again first.
 *
 * <li>Call {@link #stopPreview()} to stop updating the preview surface.
 *
 * <li><b>Important:</b> Call {@link #release()} to release the camera for
 * use by other applications.  Applications should release the camera
 * immediately in {@link android.app.Activity#onPause()} (and re-{@link #open()}
 * it in {@link android.app.Activity#onResume()}).
 * </ol>
 *
 * <p>To quickly switch to video recording mode, use these steps:</p>
 *
 * <ol>
 * <li>Obtain and initialize a Camera and start preview as described above.
 *
 * <li>Call {@link #unlock()} to allow the media process to access the camera.
 *
 * <li>Pass the camera to {@link android.media.MediaRecorder#setCamera(Camera)}.
 * See {@link android.media.MediaRecorder} information about video recording.
 *
 * <li>When finished recording, call {@link #reconnect()} to re-acquire
 * and re-lock the camera.
 *
 * <li>If desired, restart preview and take more photos or videos.
 *
 * <li>Call {@link #stopPreview()} and {@link #release()} as described above.
 * </ol>
 *
 * <p>This class is not thread-safe, and is meant for use from one event thread.
 * Most long-running operations (preview, focus, photo capture, etc) happen
 * asynchronously and invoke callbacks as necessary.  Callbacks will be invoked
 * on the event thread {@link #open(int)} was called from.  This class's methods
 * must never be called from multiple threads at once.</p>
 *
 * <p class="caution"><strong>Caution:</strong> Different Android-powered devices
 * may have different hardware specifications, such as megapixel ratings and
 * auto-focus capabilities. In order for your application to be compatible with
 * more devices, you should not make assumptions about the device camera
 * specifications.</p>
 *
 * <div class="special reference">
 * <h3>Developer Guides</h3>

 * <a href="{@docRoot}guide/topics/media/camera.html">Camera</a> developer guide.</p>
