Release and Open camera zbarcam again when camera is used in other application

[vickypaulantono]

I have a issue with zbarcam on android.

While i'm minimize my application (on_pause, zbarcam.play = False ) and open some camera application, then i'm go back again open my application (on_resume, zbarcam.play = True).

Zbarcam can't start camera service again and camera zbarcam in my application is still freeze.
Any fix for this issue?

Thank You

you can start and stop the detector from zbarcam. you need a object from the class ZBarCam and this object has the attribute start and stop. so you can start and stop it with: object.stop, object.start

Thank You for your response,

Stop camera is just pause camera detector not release or destroy camera.

I want is like this documentation
https://developer.android.com/reference/android/hardware/Camera#release()

While i minimize my application , it will release/destroy the existing camera and then if i'm open camera again it's re-intialize zbarcam without load .kv ZBarCam again

class MyApp(App):`
def __init__(self,**kwargs):
        self.zbarcam = ZBarCam()
def on_pause(self):
    if self.zbarcam != None:
        self.zbarcam.stop()
        self.zbarcam = None ###delete existing object ZBarCam
    super().on_pause()
def on_resume(self):
    if self.zbarcam == None:
        self.zbarcam = ZBarCam() ###re-intialize object ZBarCam
        self.zbarcam.stop()
    super().on_resume()
