I have to turn on camera flash using openCV. I need to use NativeCameraView but it doesn't work.

What can I do?

I tried :

VideoCapture mCamera;
mCamera.set(Highgui.CV_CAP_PROP_ANDROID_FLASH_MODE, Highgui.CV_CAP_ANDROID_FLASH_MODE_ON);

Please, in the future, try to focus on using tags without the hashtags. These hashtags create tons of double tags, which is not interesting if you want to apply filtering on topics. I have removed them and formatted your code a bit more correctly.

Maybe try

 mCamera.set(Highgui.CV_CAP_PROP_ANDROID_FLASH_MODE,
 Highhui.CV_CAP_ANDROID_FLASH_MODE_ON);

I dont know if its just a typo, but you try to set the focus, not flash mode

What are you actually trying to do? Do you want to use it like a flashlight or as a real flash?

I think the problem is that VideoCapture actually has no real photo functionality. Its just a camera/video stream and you have the possibility to retrieve a frame from it, but you actually dont take a real picture. So the flash wont work. At least this is how I imagine it.

In my app I do videos. I have to keep the flash on during the recording of the video.

The solution is to use FLASH_MODE_TORCH and not FLASH_MODE_ON

mCamera.set(Highgui.CV_CAP_PROP_ANDROID_FLASH_MODE, Highhui.CV_CAP_ANDROID_FLASH_MODE_TORCH);
