Add manual shutter speed selection

Add the ability to manually select the shutter speed.

I'd love to have this too. Looks like different phones handle this differently so you have to parse the camera parameters right?

        Camera mCamera = Camera.open();
        Camera.Parameters params = mCamera.getParameters();

        String flatten = params.flatten();
        String[] paramsSeparated = flatten.split(";");
        for(String cur : paramsSeparated) {
            if(cur.contains("iso") && cur.contains("values")) {
                ...
            }
        }

The Camera app is a nightmate from that point of view. There are so many things done differently depending on the OS version and the manufacturer that there are way too many issues that I cannot reproduce on any of my 5 test devices. Im not really working on the app nowadays, not sure when will I return. Now that some new devices are getting even 4 cameras with different capabilities Im always further from making it a compelling app.

Thanks for replying @tibbi. I can understand that dilemma. I wish there was more standardization for the API. I guess I'll try my hand with the few devices I have lying around. I'm not a android developer though so I might be in over my head.

For anyone following up on this I found some other libraries which handle some shell + setup for looking into this.

Those are some quite seriously outdated solutions. Anyway I prefer handling such things myself to understand it better since it is the core of the app, not just one of the side features.

I was just looking at them as a way to modify your application to support camera get/setParameters(). If you know of a better way, please let me know.

I dont really know any better way to do anything, all my best ideas are implemented there.
