Hello Nokia Qt world,
I need some inputs from you all.
Is it possible to invoke native camera application of the device from my application and retrive the captured image. If it is not possible what is the alternative way to do so. Waiting for your reply.
---------------------Thnx in advance. :)

About launching the camera application, see:

After it has been launched, you need to monitor the file system for new photos.
QFileSystemWatcher class has been designed just for that task:
