Nexus 6 camera gets stuck about grafika HOT 7 CLOSED

Does the little color blob at the bottom keep animating? If you hit the "capture" button after it freezes, does it create a recording?

I don't have access to a Nexus 6, so I can't reproduce the issue. (It doesn't happen on the devices I have access to.)

This is not related to issue #36, as that race condition is caused by having two EGL contexts that share data. Although now I'm confused -- you wrote "ContinuousCaptureActivity" but also "Show + capture camera", which are different things. If you meant CameraCaptureActivity then it probably is relevant.

Interesting finds:

• Happens on Nexus 5x too (in case you have that)
• Starting the camera resumes the screen
• If I start it with the recording started, screen doesn't freeze.
• this (https://github.com/yulu/ShaderCam) sample project doesn't freeze either

Edit: Sorry I meant "CameraCaptureActivity", I've been staring at this for too long haha
Edit 2: Adding fixes it. Could you explain this magic?
GLES20.glClearColor(0.0f, 0.0f, 0.0f, 0.0f);
GLES20.glClear(GLES20.GL_COLOR_BUFFER_BIT);

I don't know why calling glClear() would affect things. Weird.

Can I mark this as fixed and could you accept the pull request XD?

Without understanding the nature of the bug, it's impossible to declare that the change fixes the problem, rather than simply disguising it.

In any event, there are some legal questions with regard to accepting pull requests, and as a non-employee I'm not in a position to answer them. So somebody else would need to handle it.

@fadden You mentioned "Does the little color blob at the bottom keep animating?". I see this moving blob. Has this been addressed elsewhere? This is the only mention of it I can find for the Continuous Capture. Trying to get rid of the blob...

@fadden Figured it out. Commenting out calls to "drawExtra" eliminated the blob. Guessing it's intentional for some reason I can't understand...
