[Android 2.2+] ShootNow!

[Guest Ruud S]

Hi all,

Today I released an updated version of my ShootNow! application with lots of improvements and some added functionality. I would like to ask you to try it out (the unlicensed version is free) and give your feedback in this thread. Thank you in advance.

Application description

ShootNow! is a profile-based camera automation application. A profile defines settings like picture size & location, camera settings, display settings and share/view taken pictures using other applications.

The application allows you to create multiple shortcuts, each using their own predefined profile. For example, you could have the following set-up:

• Main application launcher, using the default profile, simply takes pictures at the maximum resolution, using automatic flash and focus modes, saving them to your regular camera picture location.
• TwitPic shortcut, using Twitter profile, takes pictures in a lower resolution and automatically invokes your Twitter application to share the picture.
• PicShare shortcut, using Sharing profile, takes pictures in a medium resolution and, after taking the picture, asks you which application to launch to share the picture.
• Notepad shortcut, using SpyCam profile, hides the camera preview and status messages, automatically takes a picture on launch, and saves it to a hidden folder.

The main ShootNow! application can also be launched from a custom lock screen like WidgetLocker without first having to unlock the device. This allows you to quickly start taking pictures from your lock screen.

Free & licensed version

The ShootNow! application can be downloaded for free from the Android Market. This free version is fully functional but downscales all images to 320x240. In order to take pictures with higher resolutions, please buy the ShootNow! License, also available on the Android Market.
