Using the Camera

The camera application already contained on the phone cannot have a timer to set automatically and then take an image.


A possible solution is to use a surface view with a camera preview.  Open source code can be found by the blogger Android-er which implements this:

This method does not affect the predefined camera settings and can easily be adapted to incorporate a timer and specific resolution settings.
