I am working with Anafi 4K and I want to programmetically record videos using ground sdk
The code I wrote after following documentations is as follows
import com.parrot.drone.groundsdk.device.peripheral.MainCamera
import com.parrot.drone.groundsdk.device.peripheral.camera.Camera
.
.
.
private fun monitorCanStartStopRecord() {
try {
logger.log("---------Monitoring camera record options")
cameraRef = drone?.getPeripheral(MainCamera::class.java) { camera ->
camera?.run {
if (camera != null) {
logger.log("Camera initialized")
} else {
logger.log("Camera initialization failed")
}
camera.mode().value = Camera.Mode.RECORDING
logger.log("Main camera is ${if (isActive) "active" else "not active"}")
logger.log("Camera mode: ${mode().value}")
when {
canStartRecording() -> {
logger.log("Photo capture can be started")
}
canStopPhotoCapture() -> {
logger.log("Photo capture can be stopped")
}
canStartRecording() -> {
logger.log("Video recording can be started")
}
canStopRecording() -> {
logger.log("Video recording can be stopped")
}
else -> {
logger.log("Monitor: Video recording can't be started or stopped")
}
}
}
}
}catch (e: Error){
logger.log("Error : $e")
}
}
private fun toggleStartStopRecord() {
logger.log("Pressed record toggle")
drone?.getPeripheral(MainCamera::class.java)?.run {
when {
canStartRecording() -> {
startRecording()
recordBtn.apply {
text = "Stop Recording"
}
logger.log("Started recording")
}
canStopRecording() -> {
stopRecording()
recordBtn.apply {
text = "Start Recording"
}
logger.log("Stopped recording")
}
else -> logger.log("Video recording can't be toggled")
}
}
}
Apparenty ‘isActive’ in logger.log("Main camera is ${if (isActive) "active" else "not active"}")
is always false. Does anyone know how to activate it or any advices?
I initially had StreamServer displaying the camera videw in my phone and it works well. I thought maybe the camera can’t be set active because streamserver is using it so removed the streamserver and tried but still MainCamera can’t be set active. Please help, I need this for my university project!
