Please provide a simple runnable test case to reproduce the issue.

Hi Ritu, Here is the camera code we roughly use. Very straightforward:

   var win = Ti.UI.createWindow({
   	backgroundColor : "#FFF"
   });
   
   var overlay = Ti.UI.createView({
   	backgroundColor : "transparent",
   	height : Ti.UI.FILL,
   	width : Ti.UI.FILL
   });
   
   overlay.add(Ti.UI.createView({
   	backgroundColor : "red",
   	height : 20,
   	width : Ti.UI.FILL
   }));
   
   win.addEventListener('click', function() {
   	Ti.Media.showCamera({
   		overlay : overlay,
   		success : function(event) {
   			Ti.Media.hideCamera();
   
   			//showApprovalPage(event.media);
   		},
   		cancel : function(e) {
   		},
   		error : function(e) {
   		},
   		saveToPhotoGallery : false,
   		allowEditing : false,
   		transform : null,
   		mediaTypes : [Ti.Media.MEDIA_TYPE_PHOTO],
   		showControls : false,
   		autohide : false,
   		animated : false
   	});
   });
   
   win.open();

The showApprovalPage function opens a window with an imageView in it and a button for the user to approve the image.

Hello [~athorne]! Do you mind to test your testcase with 3.3.0? Looks like it's fixed now. I tested your testcase with Moto X, Android 4.4.2, Mobile SDK 3.3.0 Best Regards,
Mauro Parra-Miranda 2014-07-09

This is fixed in 3.3.0.RC.

Hi Mauro Parra-Miranda, I'll try it out. I'm upgrading to 3.4 as we speak. I couldn't reproduce it, only got reports of it from the Play Store, but I'll reply back if I release and get more reports of it. Thank you for closing the loop with me!
