WVR camera access issue

[bleater]

I'd like to use the Focus Plus' cameras in an app that already includes full 6 DoF tracking.

However, I cannot get the camera stream to even start. When I trigger WVR_StartCamera, I get error return status. In the log I see these messages:

it looks like a failure in one of the underlying APIs.

As can be seen from the log, I am following the documented requirement of calling WVR_StartCamera from the main thread (pid & tid 14128 in this case).

Any ideas? Anyone ever had this API working? Am I right to assume that this can be called even though I'm using 6DoF tracking in the app already?

@bleater Which WaveSDK version are you using?

[bleater]

My local Wave SDK version is v3.1.4.

I'm testing on Focus Plus with these stats: System v2.2, build2.04.623.2 9.0_g CL1083380 release-keys Wave SDK 3.0.8.

The video passthrough via double-tap works.

I logged a bit more info also from other processes:

It looks like permission android.permission.CAMERA is needed, although this is not mentioned in the docs. Does the standard Android camera permission API work in this case?

[bleater]

I have determined that the standard permissions request method does not work for android.permission.CAMERA on the Wave platform. So at this stage I'm a little stuck; the OS expects the app to have that permission but there seems to be no way to request it from the OS.

fix typo

[bleater]

It doesn't work.

@bleater Could you paste your AndroidManifest.xml?

And, is it located at this location(Assets/Plugins/Android/AndroidManifest.xml)?

[bleater]

OK, I've found the problem and it was my mistake. There was a missing parameter in my call to the permissions request which meant that the permissions was not being asked correctly on the Wave platform. It's working now! Thanks for your patient help.
