To be Devil's advocate. OP was talking about a VGA camera API only and what an example of a battle-tested camera library already does. I don't think anyone is seriously suggesting the thing should run android. But if you are writing something yourself then looking at what existing libraries already (and more importantly their test suites!) do is a good idea. Maybe they did and maybe they didn't in this case, hard to know with the data available.
