android mute camera shutter sound?

Question

I am using this

camera.takePicture(null, rawCallback, jpegCallback);

but with some devices it makes a sound when the camera captures the image.

Please can any one help, how can I mute camera shutter sound?

Answer 1

You can turn it off programmatically from 4.2 onwards with:

Camera.CameraInfo info = new Camera.CameraInfo();
Camera.getCameraInfo(id, info);
if (info.canDisableShutterSound) {
    mCamera.enableShutterSound(false);
}
