Camera DLL specification

Does anybody have the function and parameter for the Camera.dll from the XDA2

I get it working with Cam_Open and Cam_Close but i don't the other parameter like Cam_Read

What are the parameters for the methods you have been using?

I asked IA about the availability of the APIs, and they replied that it was up to O2 (who of course refer you back to IA). After a bit of chasing, they said...

No word yet from O2 about the next step (we send our question through a third company who in turn contacts them.) As I mentioned, our policy is that we do not make available the APIs for cameras or other hardware products that come bundled with our software unless we are specifically asked to do so by our customers at O2.

If or when we do hear from the O2 team, we will post information about APIs on our website. I am not sure if you know, but our company has recently been purchased. We will continue to answer email until the end of April, and our website will be online until August of 2004.

Andy,

You said that you had got two of the functions to work? Have you got a code sample? Or even the parameter list for those methods?

Cheers

Not me...

...and what can we do?

i'm trying trought my provider, but no way. I think this is a very ridiculous situation.

Why don't we insist all together to IAstyle!?

I agree, I've emailed IA already, but no response as yet. Their official seems to be that they are talking with the hardware manufacturers to see if they can release the APIs. Meanwhile they have been taken over, which has in itself caused some headaches. We need to get something soon because apparently after April they will not be responding to user requests...

hello,
i got answer form IAStyle. As follows:

Hello, I am sorry to say that IA Style does not make available the APIs for cameras or other hardware products that come bundled with our software. My understanding is that our customers, the seller and distributor of the hardware system - in this case I assume it would be O2 - has the ability to provide APIs to their customers if they wish.

We have sent this question to the team at O2 (we need to go through a third company that actually makes the phone and camera hardware)to find out how they wish to move forward, but so far we have not heard back.

If or when we do hear from them, we will post information about APIs on our website. I also assume O2 will make the information available on their site -- I am not sure if you know, but our company has recently been purchased. We will continue to answer email until the end of April, and our website will be online until August of 2004.

Sorry about the negative news.

What do you think?

No 'IA Camera Wizard Application Integration SDK' anymore...

Hi,

iastyle's website was just scrubbed from some previous interesting content. Just look at the page http://www.iastyle.com/camera_app/index.asp and you'll see the website gets some new tabs at the top... This page lists the 'IA Camera Wizard Application Integration SDK'. I asked their sales department about licensing and availability a few weeks ago and got no reply.

It's clear HTC made them kill this department/product/service to keep a leading edge in camera applications.

bigmac :x :cry:

so i see, that the only ones who can provide us of a correct API are providers who buys directly to HTC or carriers. right?
