I have hard time intercepting HW camera button on Desire Z (Froyo). I wrote a sample that runs fine on G1 (1.6) but not on aforementioned phone.
AndroidManifest.xml
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
package="net.company" android:versionCode="1" android:versionName="1.0">
<uses-sdk android:minSdkVersion="4" />
<application android:icon="@drawable/icon" android:label="@string/app_name">
<activity android:name=".CameraReceiverTestActivity"
android:label="@string/app_name">
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
</intent-filter>
</activity>
<receiver android:enabled="true" android:exported="true"
android:name=".CameraButtonReceiver">
<intent-filter android:priority="999">
<action android:name="android.intent.action.CAMERA_BUTTON" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT" />
</intent-filter>
</receiver>
</application>
</manifest>
And CameraButtonReceiver.java
package net.company;
public class CameraButtonReceiver extends BroadcastReceiver {
static {
Log.w("CBR", "onReceive clazz init");
}
@Override
public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) {
Log.w("CBR", "onReceive camera");
abortBroadcast();
}
}
On G1 (1.6) I see both messages as soon as press the camera button and default camera app is suppressed. However, on Desire Z (Froyo) no such thing happens. After playing with priority, code/xml declarations I dare to say this phone sends this broadcast with some other name.
