can not fine symbol : method setBackgroundColor(int) about cordova-plugin-camera-preview HOT 9 CLOSED

That seems to be a problem with Cordova version 5. I'll need to see the API changes and correct that issue.

from cordova-plugin-camera-preview.

I changed code to
webView.getView().setBackgroundResource(0x00000000);
ViewGroup g = (ViewGroup)webView.getView().getParent();

but not helping much. Error got removed but camera is not going to background like before

I have the same issue: cordova 5.0.0, building app for android 4.4.2 (API 19)

All is ok except sending camera to back, I get these errors:
method getParent() is undefined for the type CordovaWebView
method setBackgroundColor(int) is undefined for the type CordovaWebView

I've tried to cast types but this doesn't work either.

I managed once to make it work by orverwriting files with the CordovaCameraPreviewApp files. But as soon I closed eclipse and re-open my project, these 2 errors came back.

@mbppower : what version number of cordova are you using ?

from cordova-plugin-camera-preview.

They've changed some things on the version 5. I was using Cordova 4.

Finally found a possible solution for this issue. Change the code

webView.setBackgroundColor(0x00000000);
ViewGroup g = (ViewGroup)webView.this.getParent();
g.setBackgroundColor(0x00000000);
g.bringToFront();

to

webView.getView().setBackgroundColor(0x00000000);
((ViewGroup)webView.getView()).bringToFront();

The class CordovaWebView in Cordova 5 is no longer inherited from WebView class in android. So the getParent() and setBackgroundColor() don't work. The down side of sending the camera preview box to the back of the webView is you can't drag the preview box.

Well done SeanChenU.
