I would like if it possible to have a mask overlay over the camera using flex mobile framework. I need to develop a cross platform (android/iOS) application using camera on which I want to display buildings. So I know it is possible with native iOS and android code. But I would like to do it with flex mobile.
Do you know if it only possible or not ?
Thansk a lot.
Best regards
Using Adobe Air's camera class, you cannot manipulate the picture this way.
You can change quality, sizing, frame rate etc., but cannot manipulate the image so it will show additional data except data received from the device.

There is an overlay feature available in the library. The overlay feature is nice but functionality wise it is just there to mask the UI.
Is there a way to customize the scannable area, I mean reduce the area that is scannable on the screen? When this can't be done there is no point in having the overlay right? The overlay does not really do anything.
This android app which uses the core Zxing library developed in java by the Zxing team https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.zxing.client.android you can see that - if the barcode/qr code lies outside the scanning area, it does not process it. That is what I am looking for. Is this possible?
According to this link github.com/Redth/ZXing.Net.Mobile/issues/87
the author of the library says
Unfortunately there's not a great short fix that I can think of for this scenario. Yes I could only check a certain region, but what would the region be set to? It makes sense to use the non-gray areas if you're using the default overlay, but if you use a custom overlay, you might not want the same region checked.
Just need some time to implement it (on ALL platforms - which is what takes so much effort).
It has been a more than a year since this issue was raised on github, so I don't think it will be implemented anytime soon.
I want to make an icon for both my website and phone application. So what is the best way? using adobe illustrator or any other suggestion?
I think that Gimp seems the most reasonable option, as it is available for free. The web is full of tutorials for it, so I think it's worth searching there. For example: Creating Icons
Using a vector graphics application like Adobe Illustrator would be the best way to go, although if you've not used it before you have to invest some time getting familiar with the tools such as Bezier curves. If you're an iPad user I recommend iDraw, a vector illustration tool for the IOS. It's easier to use than illustrator and allows you to prototype graphics at the correct screen resolution on the retina screen. If you're designing for IOS then I suggest looking at Apples guidance material on the correct image resolutions to use.
I need to take screenshot, get the current screen resolution, and the list of supported resolutions. Currently I am having System Specific Wrappers on these three, Is there any cross platform light weight library that can do the same ? I also need mouse/keyboard Event Abstraction That I am doing by Qt's Event now. is there any even better option for that too ?
In Qt you have QDesktopWidget to access desktop information (available size, screen geometry). To grab sreenshot check Qt's screenshot example
I am trying to watermark an Image and works perfect and now I need to have my customers much more convinient so that I am planning to add a feasibility to the image watermarker.So I need some help!
I want to have an adorner control or somethng like the rubberband effect which has 4 0r 6 corners so that they can enlarge the text with that.
I have seen one of the articles in codeproject which is implemented with WPF as shown below.But I need to implement with my normal ASP.Net application.So how do I start with it?
Any help will be greatly appreciated!
have a look here:
http://html5.litten.com/moving-shapes-on-the-html5-canvas-with-the-keyboard/
with pure HTML5 canvas and JavaScript you can move a shape using the keyboard.
it's a starting point then you can imagine to extend it to support mouse gestures like you explained.
Is there a way to take screenshot of the client's window using flex?
I found an example which uses java bridge, but i am looking for different solution.
Do you want to take a snapshot of the users screen? OR just of the AIR App?
If you want to take a screencap of the user's screen, I'd look into NitroScreenCap. The 'generic' approach they use is that they wrote native code for each operating system and pack it up with the AIR app using a NativProcess. I guess you could try to implement that yourself if needed.
If you just need a screencap of the Flex app; do some Googling. You can get the BitMapData of any given Flex Component and turn that into an image. Here are a few links that come up:
