takePicture slow

[MiguelGonc]

Hi everyone,

I use this plugin to capture photos in an application. About two weeks ago, I had to update nativescript/core, and since then, I've been receiving reports that capture on some phones is very slow. I debugged it, and the slowness is in const { image } = await cameraView.takePicture({ savePhotoToDisk: false });

Can you help?

Thanks in advance.

@MiguelGonc i am not sure. I use it in apps and did not get such report.
You need to find investigate this. For one you should say on which platform this occurs

Hi @farfromrefug thanks for your answer, i had reports from users using redmi note 8 pro and Samsung A50.

@MiguelGonc ok i had no such report as of now. You would need to investigate this, maybe try and get such a device

I have a Samsung A50, and I debugged it on this device and noticed that it was slow when i use takePicture(). What else can I do to understand and fix the problem?

@MiguelGonc for one shar your takePicture parameters

[MiguelGonc]

my function only do this const cameraView = this.$refs.cameraView.nativeView;
const { image } = await cameraView.takePicture({ savePhotoToDisk: false }); -> it is slow here.

@MiguelGonc ok try like this https://github.com/Akylas/OSS-DocumentScanner/blob/802b0444b97b5afae914f09fa3c39448e91b934b/app/components/camera/Camera.svelte#L194 on android. savePhotoToDisk is much faster
