[android-developers] Re: Comms with Intent

Actually never mind that - I should have been using addFlags the
second time and
not setFlags on both flags. Still the issue seems to be that the
preview freezes
after the first pic is snapped and every additional call to the
service takes
pictures the same size as before regardless of where the phone points.
Interesting ...
And I don't see the OnNewIntent get called each subsequent time ...
