Class Overview

Allows the user to take a photo using the camera on his or her device.

This class should be used from an event handler in a Screen subclass. Display the camera by calling the start(Activity) method. When a photo is taken and saved, the photoWasTaken method will be called on the screen, if it exists. For example: 

 public class MyScreen extends Screen
 {
     public void buttonClicked()
     {
         PhotoCamera camera = new PhotoCamera();
         camera.start(this);
     }
 
     public void photoWasTaken(PhotoCamera camera)
     {
         // Do something with the image by calling camera.getBitmap(),
         // camera.getUri(), or camera.getPath().
     }
 }
