The way iOS and Android implement image capture, you cannot have an app snap images without showing the viewfinder on the screen. This basically means the driver cannot do anything else except let the app take pictures while driving. Definitely not feasible.

- aeleos 7y agoGiven the way that apps like Snapchat do an overlay of the camera image, in theory you could build an entire app over the camera. However it probably isn’t the best idea
- cryptoz 7y agoHas this changed on Android in recent years? I remember building a Camera app with a smaller-than-fullscreen viewfinder. I believe I got to set the dimensions of the viewfinder myself, making it as arbitrarily small as I wanted (or even optional?). Perhaps I remember incorrectly. I wonder if things changed.
- DougBTX 7y agoVideo chat needs to support a pretty small “viewfinder”, otherwise the other person on the call wouldn’t be visible!
- trevyn 7y agoThis is definitely false from a technical perspective for iOS, though there may be something in the app review guidelines.
