Proof photos using Open camera

[AAnderl]

Great app, thank for this.

I have disabled the system camera and am using open camera instead.

https://f-droid.org/packages/net.sourceforge.opencamera/

As a result of this I can't take proof photos because the app apparently only wants to use the system camera.

Is there a way to fix this?

Thanks.

Have you read through #5207? There are some people that can use Open Camera with StreetComplete.

[AAnderl]

Thanks for your reply.

Didn't see. But somehow discussed solution seems not working for mee.

There is no option for selecting camera in default apps.

I'll keep looking. Please write here if you think of anything. Thanks.

No way. I have uninstalled oem camera using Universal Android Debloater (UAD) and problem persists. Now, when clicking camera icon on SC, "It appears that there is no camera installed in the system." message appears.

I don't understand much about this, but in the settings of other apps (I'm thinking of Oruxmaps) there is a specific button to request that the app uses Open camera instead of the system default.

Would the developer consider adding this option?

No, not really. You have to set your default system camera to the camera app you are using in the system settings..

Unfortunately, that option of changing default system camera is no longer possible in Android 11 and newer versions (see e.g. https://android.stackexchange.com/a/232306/64465)

So only option there is to have StreetComplete support OpenCamera directy, like e.g. Vespucci does here.

While I would very much like that (as I prefer OpenCamera much to Samsung one for mapping), it would need to be accepted by @westnordost.

Okay, I'll leave that to others. I enjoy using maps and spending time improving OSM. Apps and Android functionality are far from my passion. Honestly, I think I've spent enough time getting the camera button in SC to open the only camera app I have installed on my phone, which I've been using regularly and in perfect harmony with the rest of my apps for months. I'll uninstall the app and keep an eye out for updates. Thanks.
