How do I open the “front camera” on the Android platform?
8 answers
I am developing a demo in which I have to check if device has front camera if device has front camera then I have to open it to capture a image.
I searched a lot but didn't find any solution. Please help me by giving a solution.
Thanks in advance.
My solution for use front face camera :
private Camera openFrontFacingCameraGingerbread() {
int cameraCount = 0;
Camera cam = null;
Camera.CameraInfo cameraInfo = new Camera.CameraInfo();
cameraCount = Camera.getNumberOfCameras();
for (int camIdx = 0; camIdx<cameraCount; camIdx++) {
Camera.getCameraInfo(camIdx, cameraInfo);
if (cameraInfo.facing == Camera.CameraInfo.CAMERA_FACING_FRONT) {
try {
cam = Camera.open(camIdx);
} catch (RuntimeException e) {
Log.e("Your_TAG", "Camera failed to open: " + e.getLocalizedMessage());
}
}
}
return cam;
}
