Improve Record activity to see picture in real time

[llaske]

In the Record activity (except on iOS/Android), when you take a picture, you don't see a preview of the picture. You just see a rolling spinner.

Conversely, the QR Code activity allow user to take a picture of QR Code and provide a real time preview of the picture.
The idea is to improve the Record activity to display a real time preview of the picture.

The source code of the Record activity is here: https://github.com/llaske/sugarizer/tree/master/activities/Record.activity
The source code of the QR Code activity is here: https://github.com/llaske/sugarizer/tree/master/activities/QRCode.activity

On Chrome OS with Sugarizer v1.1 and Record, I see preview. The preview is right-way up. When taking photograph, it is upside down. I did not check for left-right swap.

Oh really? Guess it's a Chrome OS integrated feature. Nothing in the source code today implement this. Do you have the same thing with QR Code activity?

[quozl]

Thanks. Tested again.

• QR Code activity preview is right-way up and is left-right swapped (good); the QR is correctly read, but not shown, so I don't know if it is upside down.
• Record activity preview is right-way up and is left-right swapped (good), but the draft photograph and kept photograph are upside down (not as good).

In both cases, Camera privacy light remains on after activity is stopped.

Hey this issue is solved right? @quozl @llaske . If not what is kept photograph and draft photograph? and how can I solve this issue?

[quozl]

Sugarizer is multi-platform. Problem is on some platforms, as I've proved by saying not Chrome OS. kept and draft refer to the continued existence of the photograph.

@niravasher, this issue is still open.
@quozl mentioned the specific way of working on Chrome OS but it's very specific to this platforms. The fix is still need on browsers (Chrome/Firefox/Safari) for all other platforms (Linux/Windows/MacOS).
As I said, to solve this issue, the idea is to adapt code from QRCode activity into Record activity.
