In my app before i have used google gms vision for face detection . I have used the https://developers.google.com/android/reference/com/google/android/gms/vision/CameraSource.Builder to create the camerasource in my background service class.
But in Firebase ML Kit no common package is added for camerasource builder and preview. Is there any possibilities to use CameraSourcePreview and CameraSource Builder in Background service class.
I have tired by adding the CameraSourcePreview layout at window manager in service class like below. But no luck , its not running as i excepted. I need to detect the face whenever my service starts without preview layout visible. In app background and foreground also i need to detect the facial features.
Below code i have used for showing camerapreview at service class
LayoutInflater inflater = (LayoutInflater) getSystemService(LAYOUT_INFLATER_SERVICE);
WindowManager wm = (WindowManager) getSystemService(WINDOW_SERVICE);
View mView = inflater.inflate(R.layout.child_camerapreview, null);
wm.addView(mView, params);
Xml Layout:
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:background="@android:color/transparent"
>
<RelativeLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:keepScreenOn="true"

<co.demo.facekit.common.CameraSourcePreview

</co.demo.facekit.common.CameraSourcePreview>

<ImageView
