Last exercise "
Android 4 Face Detection: Display detected face area" we can get the detected face areas in onFaceDetection() of FaceDetectionListener. We can create a List of Camera.Area from the detected faces of Face[], to assign the area for focusing.
note:
Before using this API or setFocusAreas(List), apps should call getMaxNumFocusAreas() to know the maximum number of focus areas first. If the value is 0, focus area is not supported.
Each focus area is a rectangle with specified weight. The direction is relative to the sensor orientation, that is, what the sensor sees. The direction is not affected by the rotation or mirroring of setDisplayOrientation(int). Coordinates of the rectangle range from -1000 to 1000. (-1000, -1000) is the upper left point. (1000, 1000) is the lower right point. The width and height of focus areas cannot be 0 or negative.
The weight must range from 1 to 1000. The weight should be interpreted as a per-pixel weight - all pixels in the area have the specified weight. This means a small area with the same weight as a larger area will have less influence on the focusing than the larger area. Focus areas can partially overlap and the driver will add the weights in the overlap region. ~ Reference:

Important Note!Please note that it's a simple exercise to try the face detection function for Android 4, not a completed application. I test it in Galaxy Nexus, it throw error of
java.lang.RuntimeException: autoFocus failed sometimes. May be because of cannot focus. ~
Solved, refer the next post: java.lang.RuntimeException: autoFocus failed.
It is another bug here. The code of setFocusAreas() and setMeteringAreas() is in-correct! Please refer to the post
Set Camera.Parameters.

I have been working heads down for the last few months and have been neglecting my blog a bit. So I just realized, Google Reader is no longer auto posting links of interest to the blog.
