[Jprogramming] access camera on handheld devices

[bill lam]

Android is open source and stock api for camera hardware is available.
Theoretically J can control camera directly using this api but
I am not sure if that will require multi-thread or other special
programming construct.

I imagine similar stock api are also exposed in iOS or WP8.
