Building my own camera application + Automatically capture the image

Question

I have created my own camera application. And when I click the button it takes the picture and saves it in the galary. What I want to do is to take the picture without a preview

Answer 1

Ok I found a answer to take the picture automatically. Adding as a comment for the use of others.

final Timer t = new Timer();
t.schedule(new TimerTask() { 
@Override 
public void run() { 
mCamera.takePicture(null, null, mPicture); t.cancel(); 
} 
},5000);
