    The plugin is perfect, but I'm interested to start the camera and flashlight at the same time, (of course the camera must stay on the 3D cube) can fix this in the next update? or is an impossible task?

    Thanks for the feedback.
    The reason the plugin doesn't have that feature is because the most of android devices camera module simply doesn't support it. There is no way to check whether the device's camera module supports it or not. Applying that feature may lead the device to crash. So i thought it wouldn't be worth to sacrifice all of those devices just for that feature.

    Could you send me (if you want even in private) an apk that has the function to use the flash and the camera at the same time? I would like to test before buying the package.

    Thanks for buying our plugin.

    Could you please answer the following questions.

    1) What is your device model?
    2) What is your Android Version?
    3) Have you tried running the included demo scene?

    How do you call the "FlashLight" function?

    Hi.

    Got this this morning, for the google map primarily. Took about 2 mins to get it up and running, so that's great, especially the address option so I can centre it on the clients venue.
    If I could make one request though, you say more features coming soon, an option to add markers with labels to the map would be a big help.

    cheers,

    Ian.

    Hi Malik.

    That feature is already present in the plugin, but it's not accessible, because it uses the
    "SEND_SMS" permissions, and i never thought anyone would ever want it. but i'll make it accessible in the next update which will be available within 10 days.
    Prior to sending an SMS you just have to set the slot number (which is 1 by default).

    Hello there!

    I am developing a reporting App for Android and your Asset caught my eye because it seems to provide me with what I need for my App. However, before purchasing it, I would like to know if what I want to do would be possible or not with your Asset.

    1) Would your Asset allow me to open the camera, take a picture and return me the picture's path to my Unity Activity?

    2) Would your Asset allow me to open the gallery, pick a picture and return me the picture's path to my Unity Activity?

    3) Would your Asset allow me to get Location/GPS Data based on GPS_Provider and/or Network Provider? Altitude, Latitude, Longitude, Accuracy, Bearing, Speed, and Time.

    Thanks in advance. :)

    Hi Inakiktp!

    Thanks for interesting in my asset.

    1) Do you mean opening the default camera app? If so, then no, i didnt add that feature because it would be expensive.
    Instead of that i used WebCamTexture which you could see in the video above. So once you've taken a picture in your app, using WebCamTexture, you can use the "Elemental Image Picker Component" to return its path.

    2) Similar to the camera one, opening the default gallery app would be expensive as well, so instead you can use the "Elemental Image Picker Component", it contains references to all images in the gallery, using that you can easily return any picture's path.

    3) That feature has already been added to the package, and will be available in the next update (coming in a week).

    Hi!

    Thanks for your reply.

    I have another question, what does the Google Maps functionality allow to exactly? Only browse Google Maps? Starts at your current location? I do apologise if the question seems a bit silly.

    Thanks in advance. :)

    Jason Nash,

    I was finding your asset (Elemental - Android Native Plugin) on asset store, but I didn't find it. So I come here to talk with you to know if you can provide your asset. Your asset is amazing and I need it to develop my project.
