Camera Resolutions

It should be noted that throughout the development of the project, testing is an ongoing activity

The image upload process has been tested on several phones (HTC Explorer, HTC Desire and HTC Desire S) When the program is tested on HTC Explorer and HTC Desire the image has a resolution of 768x1024 but when the HTC Desire took an image, the resolution was 1952x2592. This image was too large a file for the server to accept.

IT was decided that all photos that were taken should be of the resolution 768x1024.

In order to set the resolution of the Camera, several steps must be taken by the software:

1. Camera Hardware needs to be asked what resolutions are supported, this is returned as a list of heights and widths
2. List is then to be scanned for right resolution
3. Once Resolution found, list number is returned
4. Camera Set at correct resolution by the list number

The list is also shown to the user in the instructions so that they know which resolution is suported and whether the correct resolution is available:
