jibjib beta has eyes with correct aspect
Last week, I started releasing jibjib beta. Beta for jibjib has very special meaning.
release very early. release very often.
Actually, it has been released almost 3 times a day. Anyway, I am always the first beta tester. If it is good enough, I will announce in Twitter. So if you want to try the very latest beta version, just follow @sugree. And now I proudly present the latest #jibjib beta that should support 80% camera phone around the world.
I don't want to lie you. jibjib does not support all camera phones even your phones do support MMAPI. I cannot promise that jibjib runs properly on your phone or not. Only one I thing I promise is that I will help you find out the workaround to make it run on your phone. And I just want one thing from you. I just need your time. The time for helping me to know about your phone as much as possible.
Sadly, my experiences in MMAPI are almost zero so I don't know the best practice to make it compatible with all phones. So jibjib lets you to configure 90% of parameters regarding MMAPI. If it is possible to use MMAPI in your phone, you might be able to adjust some settings in Setup screen to match your device.
There are 3 important settings.
- Capture device - Most phones will use
capture://videobut some old Nokia will usecapture://imageand some recent models with front and rear cameras will usecapture://devcamp0andcapture://devcamp1. Picture options - formerly known as Snapshot encoding. Below are sample for this value if you don't choose one in preset.
- Just blank - to use default encoding.
encoding=jpgorencoding=image/jpegor other format in this form.- You may specify width and height, e.g.,
encoding=jpg&width=480&height=640.
Fullscreen - If you want to see video in fullscreen mode while taking a picture, just enable this option.
I also found that most of beta testers don't know how to use TwitPic. Please follow below steps.
- Select Tweet menu.
- Type caption now or later.
- Select Picture menu and then you should see camera here.
- If you don't want to see preview camera, just select "Visible/Hide" menu.
- Press Capture menu to take a shot.
- Now you will see the picture waiting for confirmation. Press OK menu to confirm.
- You will be back to Tweet menu to add some texts and then select "Send" menu as usual.
Caution!
- Don't forget to use Birdnest.
- This version changed configuration format to JSON so you might need to uninstall/remove old version and then install from scratch.
Happy tweeting!
It works with my phone now. Hoorey!!!
Anyway, I think jibjib now is too complicated and this makes it not intuitive as before. My advise: you should restructure the menu. We can work on this.
w00t! no doubt.
Oops! I mean Avril. :P
Hi, your code help me so much in my project.
However I have 1 question. I checkout project from your trunk in google code on Monday 30 June. I just want to know that why u check "com.nokia.mid.ui.DeviceControl" in method isSonyEricsson() in com.substanceofcode.infrastructure.Device.java. I think it should be another class that belong to "Sony Ericsson".
Sorry if I ask a silly question.
Sorry I don't know. That part of code has been taken from Twim. :) It seems there is no way to check for SE easily. In fact, it is not necessary to check because we are working with Java!
Ok. Thanks ^^. But in my experience, I found some problems that need to know the mobile vendor. So, it's good if I can find solution to the problem. However, thank you for jibjib. It's a very good one.
It works on my Nokia N78 through WLAN! The application is quite simple, but it is OK. And i tried some other alternatives (such as Fring), but could not get them to work.
I am not J2ME expert and I always prefer something native and primitive.
