Override Qt::Key_Camera event in Symbian

xsacha

Hey there!
I'm making an app where users are able to take photos. However, whenever the user holds down their hardware camera button all the way to take a photo, the OS will launch the in-built Camera application.

Is there a way of overriding this?

Thanks

I am not aware of any method to override it. may be you can try bringing your app to foreground and killing camera app in background.

I do rememebr similar problem in one of my apps in the past but with 'End' key (Red Phone key that quits the app). It did not seem to be possible to stop it's system 'natural' handling with Qt code so we had to use some Symbian native code (to stop 'natural' handlig that is).
Unfortunatelly i can't post any code snippet as i don't have it but it may give you some hints on where to look for a solution.
