Nativescript Camera Front Facing (Android)

[fvtrx]

Hi, just want to ask if there is any chance that I can force my cameraFacing to display front camera in Android? I tried to follow the exact methods in the documentation but still doesn't return the front camera that I wanted in Android devices.

Is there any workaround for this? I've attached the details of my issues below.

Which platform(s) does your issue occur on?

• Android

Please, provide the following version numbers that your issue occurs with:

• CLI: 6.7.4
• Cross-platform modules: 6.4.1
• Runtime(s): Android: 6.4.1
• Plugin(s): "nativescript-camera": "^4.5.0",

Is there any code involved?

Sample code is shown as below:

     requestPermissions().then(() => {
          let cameraProps = {};
          if (isAndroid) {
            cameraProps = {
              width: 250,
              height: 250,
              keepAspectRatio: true,
              saveToGallery: false,
              cameraFacing: "front",
            };
          } else {
            cameraProps = {
              width: 250,
              height: 250,
              keepAspectRatio: true,
              saveToGallery: false,
              cameraFacing: "front",
            };
          }
          takePicture(cameraProps).then(
            (imageAsset) => {
              if (isAndroid) {
                that.photoItems.push({
                  filename: imageAsset._android.replace(/^.*[\\\/]/, ""),
                  file: imageAsset._android,
                });
              } else {
                let currentDate = Date.now();
                let source = new imageSourceModule.ImageSource();
                source.fromAsset(imageAsset).then((source) => {
                  let folder = fs.knownFolders.documents();
                  let path = fs.path.join(
                    folder.path,
                    "image_" +
                      (that.photoItems.length + 1) +
                      "_" +
                      currentDate +
                      ".jpg"
                  );
                  let saved = source.saveToFile(path, "jpg", 10);
                  that.photoItems.push({
                    filename:
                      "image_" +
                      (that.photoItems.length + 1) +
                      "_" +
                      currentDate +
                      ".jpg",
                    file: path,
                  });
                });
              }
            },
            (err) => {
              console.info(err);
            }
          );
        },
        () => alert("permissions rejected")
     );
