A while ago I developed a flash app that takes pictures from the users webcam, I recently bought a android tablet device (flash capable), but the flash app do not find the camera of the tablet, any way I can modify my flash app in order to "see" the tablet's camera?
are you using Flash of Flash Builder?
For Flash Builder: if you want to access a mobile camera, you need flash builder 4.5 at least. There you can call for CameraUI instead of Camera. I don't know if this is actually a feature of Flash Builder or if it is also available in Flash, since i am not using Flash Builder 4.5 just yet.
look at this link to find a coded example of CameraUI and the implementation of it.

The TL;DR is I want to upload photos to a web form that aren't purely photos. In this specific case it would be an image from a Thermal Camera App that has its own physical accessory.
So this screen would list the Thermal Cam app as well.
Currently I cannot set it as the "Default Camera" application even though it does take pictures. Can I do anything to change that?
I am speaking as a tech-savvy user making educated guesses, not a developer.
Phone is a Samsung J7, Version 7.1.1 if it matters.
No
The app needs to support the Camera Intent Filters which would require the app developer to support all of the ways to pass back an image.
What can you do
Ask the publisher/developer of Thermal Camera App to support Camera Intents.
i am developing PHP/MYSQL/HTML based website, my website contains flash content, i have used flash based audio recorder on my website.
user will access my website from any device like window PC/phone, mac, android, i phone , i pad.
i want to know, flash content will be loaded on these devices without any issues or will need to install any plugin
forcing user to install plugin is not the right thing
and if using flash is not the right thing, what are the other options for audio recorder ?
Flash is not available on anything but very old Android devices. 90% sure it's not available on iOS. Likewise, it's disappearing from desktop browsers as well.
Can I emulate camera flash with Android emulator? I wasn't able to find anything flash-related in the settings.
Flash is manipulated via camera object by setting flash mode before taking picture
or preview. Emulator will allow you to do this. But I found flash behaviour extremely inconsistent across different devices.
Real camera applications use undocumented native apis which are specific for phone and camera models.
I am making a Flashlight app, currently its widget.
I was wondering how would I emulate functionality of samsungs assistive light widget (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PYR9jqo0vvc&feature=player_embedded#!)?
If I turn my light on, the camera app is not going to work, however with this widget, samsung made it somehow work. I have no idea at all, for all I know Camera.open() locks the camera to the process, so Camera app cannot access it.
Thanks.
The standard Android camera API does not allow for setting the flash to torch mode, and then allowing some other application to use the camera. If the Flashlight app does not release the camera, then the standard camera app cannot work. If the Flashlight app does release the camera, then the flash will turn off.
Samsung must have extended the Android APIs with a custom feature to enable/disable the torch mode without requiring locking the camera. If they wish, they could document this additional capability, but presumably the added APIs only exist on the Galaxy S3 or other similar Samsung devices; it would not allow you to write code that works on all Android devices.
I'm searched adobe and android developers sites, but can't find any details on this.
Is it possible to use Flash as a part of my app? E.g. like a widget/GUI element? Or it's integrated in browser only and can't be simple accessible?
I know, Adobe AIR apps are supported as standalone .apk. So it must be some API/SDK (from Google) to connect with Flash player.
Is there any details, how to program it (more clear: launch swf from my app and interact with it)?
Thank you!

Not as a regular widget. Possibly it will work via a WebView widget, though that will not be known until phones get access to Android 2.2. Flash 10.1 only works on Android 2.2 and higher, and only on hardware (not the emulator) at this time.
So it must be some API/SDK (from
Google) to connect with Flash player.
Not necessarily, particularly if Flash works with WebView.
