Locus photo points - solid black area on bq camera app

Tilo Berge shared this problem ago

Not a Problem

Hello, I'm very impressed by Locusmaps. However, when adding photo points, Locus adds a semi transparent black layer (which contains the controls) to a part of the camera app. In the stock camera app of BQ (I have a BQ Aquaris M) there already is a semi transparent black control layer within the photo app. Locus adds its own to this, and the result is a solid black area which makes it difficult to take photos. I attach a screenshot.

Good day Tilo,

thank you for a bug report. Unfortunately I'm not perfectly sure where is a problem.

When you create a point with a photo ( photo-point ), Locus Map simply call application that take a photos in your device, wait till photo is created, save it into Locus/data/media directory and just attached this file (photo) into created point. There are no operations with took photo.

So if in result photo are some "controls" of photo app, this is definitely not a problem of Locus Map itself. In this case, I may only suggest to try different camera application to confirm what I write here.

Please,let me know if it helped.

Thank you very much for your reply! At the first screenshot which I attach now you see the usual interface of the stock camera app of my phone. It always looks like this. On the second you can see how it looks when it's started via the photo point feature of Locus. In no other situation it looks like this. That's why I thought Locus adds this solid black area and the X button next to the camera button. I wouldn't know what else might add these interface items to the camera app. OK so I'll have to switch to some other camera app.

Good day Tilo,

perfectly understand, but I may really guarantee that Locus Map has nothing to do with this small issue. Really suggest just to quickly try different camera app to confirm what I wrote. In case, problematic app is your favorite, I may only suggest to write developer of this application.

Thank you for understanding.
