I am using this
camera.takePicture(null, rawCallback, jpegCallback);
but with some devices it makes a sound when the camera captures the image.
Please can any one help, how can I mute camera shutter sound?

I think this is somewhat undoable. At least in The States it was enforced by legislation to have all camera devices make a shutter sound. This is the case in some other countries too AFAIK.

You can turn it off programmatically from 4.2 onwards with:
Camera.CameraInfo info = new Camera.CameraInfo();
Camera.getCameraInfo(id, info);
if (info.canDisableShutterSound) {
mCamera.enableShutterSound(false);
}

To mute, put this code before capturing an image
AudioManager mgr = (AudioManager)getSystemService(Context.AUDIO_SERVICE);
mgr.setStreamMute(AudioManager.STREAM_SYSTEM, true);
camera.takePicture(null, rawCallback, jpegCallback);
After 1 second it will unmute by putting in the below code:
final Handler handler = new Handler();
Timer t = new Timer();
t.schedule(new TimerTask() {
public void run() {
handler.post(new Runnable() {
public void run() {
AudioManager mgr = (AudioManager)getSystemService(Context.AUDIO_SERVICE);
mgr.setStreamMute(AudioManager.STREAM_SYSTEM, false);
}
});
}
}, 1000);

As harism mentioned, this is not possible to do on some devices, because there are legal requirements in some markets (Japan, for example) that taking a picture always results in an audible shutter sound.
The stream type used for these types of sounds is STREAM_SYSTEM_ENFORCED, and there's a read-only system property that determines whether or not you can mute such a stream.

Thanks micheal and harism it's solve by this way for mute: AudioManager mgr =(AudioManager)context.getSystemService(context.AUDIO_SERVICE); mgr.setStreamMute(AudioManager.STREAM_SYSTEM, true); for unmute: final Handler handler = new Handler(); Timer t = new Timer(); t.schedule(new TimerTask() { public void run() { handler.post(new Runnable() { public void run() { AudioManager mgr = (AudioManager)context.getSystemService(context.AUDIO_SERVICE); mgr.setStreamMute(AudioManager.STREAM_SYSTEM, false); } }); } }, 1000);

Jan 23 '13 at 10:31
There are devices for which the proposed solution won't work, since they're set to always route the shutter sound to the loudspeaker and not allow it to be muted. Again, it depends largely on the market where the device was sold.

Well, all those solutions are good but i prefer setting the volume to 0 (and not only system since some devices users other streams then system and/or not all streams include system) before:
smth like this would work flawlessly:
Camera mCamera = null;
function takePicture() {
storeSoundSettings();
setMuteAll(true);
// init camera and such.
Camera.CameraInfo info = new Camera.CameraInfo();
Camera.getCameraInfo(IdOfCameraBackOrFront, info);
if (info.canDisableShutterSound) {
camera.enableShutterSound(false);
}
setMuteAll(false);
recoverSoundSettings();
}
and store, recover and setMuteAll something like this:
int streams = new int{
AudioManager.STREAM_ALARM,
AudioManager.STREAM_DTMF,
AudioManager.STREAM_MUSIC,
AudioManager.STREAM_NOTIFICATION,
AudioManager.STREAM_RING,
AudioManager.STREAM_SYSTEM,
AudioManager.STREAM_VOICE_CALL};
JSONObject json;
AudioManager manager = (AudioManager) getSystemService(Context.AUDIO_SERVICE);
public void storeSoundSettings() {
json = new JSONObject();
json.put("mode", manager.getMode());
json.put("ringermode", manager.getRingerMode());
for (int stream : streams) {
json.put("stream_" + stream, manager.getStreamVolume(stream));
}
}
public void recoverSoundSettings() {
json = new JSONObject(readString("last_audio_setting", null));
manager.setMode(json.getInt("mode"));
manager.setRingerMode(json.getInt("ringermode"));
for (int stream : streams) {
manager.setStreamVolume(stream, json.getInt("stream_" + stream), AudioManager.FLAG_ALLOW_RINGER_MODES);
}
public void setMuteAll(boolean mute) {
for (int stream : streams) {
manager.setStreamMute(stream, mute);
if (mute) {
manager.setStreamVolume(stream, 100, AudioManager.FLAG_ALLOW_RINGER_MODES);
} else {
manager.setStreamVolume(stream, 0, AudioManager.FLAG_REMOVE_SOUND_AND_VIBRATE);
}
}
}
Do not forget to catch the exceptions. I removed them for better highlighting.

There are devices for which the proposed solution won't work, since they're set to always route the shutter sound to the loudspeaker and not allow it to be muted. Again, it depends largely on the market where the device was sold.

As harism mentioned, this is not possible to do on some devices, because there are legal requirements in some markets (Japan, for example) that taking a picture always results in an audible shutter sound.
The stream type used for these types of sounds is STREAM_SYSTEM_ENFORCED, and there's a read-only system property that determines whether or not you can mute such a stream.

Thanks micheal and harism it's solve by this way for mute: AudioManager mgr =(AudioManager)context.getSystemService(context.AUDIO_SERVICE); mgr.setStreamMute(AudioManager.STREAM_SYSTEM, true); for unmute: final Handler handler = new Handler(); Timer t = new Timer(); t.schedule(new TimerTask() { public void run() { handler.post(new Runnable() { public void run() { AudioManager mgr = (AudioManager)context.getSystemService(context.AUDIO_SERVICE); mgr.setStreamMute(AudioManager.STREAM_SYSTEM, false); } }); } }, 1000);

@PankajJolapara you can post your own solution as an answer and accept the answer that solves your problem. This could help anyone who has the same problem. :)

There are devices for which the proposed solution won't work, since they're set to always route the shutter sound to the loudspeaker and not allow it to be muted. Again, it depends largely on the market where the device was sold.

Well, all those solutions are good but i prefer setting the volume to 0 (and not only system since some devices users other streams then system and/or not all streams include system) before:
smth like this would work flawlessly:
Camera mCamera = null;
function takePicture() {
storeSoundSettings();
setMuteAll(true);
// init camera and such.
Camera.CameraInfo info = new Camera.CameraInfo();
Camera.getCameraInfo(IdOfCameraBackOrFront, info);
if (info.canDisableShutterSound) {
camera.enableShutterSound(false);
}
setMuteAll(false);
recoverSoundSettings();
}
and store, recover and setMuteAll something like this:
int streams = new int{
AudioManager.STREAM_ALARM,
AudioManager.STREAM_DTMF,
AudioManager.STREAM_MUSIC,
AudioManager.STREAM_NOTIFICATION,
AudioManager.STREAM_RING,
AudioManager.STREAM_SYSTEM,
AudioManager.STREAM_VOICE_CALL};
JSONObject json;
AudioManager manager = (AudioManager) getSystemService(Context.AUDIO_SERVICE);
public void storeSoundSettings() {
json = new JSONObject();
json.put("mode", manager.getMode());
json.put("ringermode", manager.getRingerMode());
for (int stream : streams) {
json.put("stream_" + stream, manager.getStreamVolume(stream));
}
}
public void recoverSoundSettings() {
json = new JSONObject(readString("last_audio_setting", null));
manager.setMode(json.getInt("mode"));
manager.setRingerMode(json.getInt("ringermode"));
for (int stream : streams) {
manager.setStreamVolume(stream, json.getInt("stream_" + stream), AudioManager.FLAG_ALLOW_RINGER_MODES);
}
public void setMuteAll(boolean mute) {
for (int stream : streams) {
manager.setStreamMute(stream, mute);
if (mute) {
manager.setStreamVolume(stream, 100, AudioManager.FLAG_ALLOW_RINGER_MODES);
} else {
manager.setStreamVolume(stream, 0, AudioManager.FLAG_REMOVE_SOUND_AND_VIBRATE);
}
}
}
Do not forget to catch the exceptions. I removed them for better highlighting.

I think this is somewhat undoable. At least in The States it was enforced by legislation to have all camera devices make a shutter sound. This is the case in some other countries too AFAIK.
