Feature request: Permit choosing of other camera lens/sensors #22

Open bdutta opened 10 months ago

bdutta commented 10 months ago

It'd be very good to choose between one of the multiple sensors / lenses available on the Android phone i.e. not just front and back. Most Android phones these days come with multiple rear cameras s.a. a wide-angle, super wide-angle, telephoto, macro etc. One should be able to choose one of those other sensors / lenses. More over, it'd be nice to get the exposure, zoom and focus (which seems to be completely missing) with the video preview, to see effect of the settings on live video.

This app uses the "old" Android Camera API. But that API should also find all available cameras. Unfortunately I do not have such a device for testing.

On my Poco X2 (Xiaomi Redmi K30) the app finds camera 0 as the front camera, and camera 1 as the rear camera, while missing 3 other cameras on the rear side (that GoogleCam 'hack' does find) i.e. the wide-angle camera, the macro camera and the depth-sensing 2MP grayscale camera. BTW, does this app use MultiCamera API abstraction ?

woheller69 commented 9 months ago

Multicamera API requires Camera2 API.

This app uses the "old" camera API and I have no plans to rewrite it...

This is partial working with my Camera 2 Branch: #39

I have a Samsung where I can select one of 4 Cameras. But I also have a Xiaomi, where I just see two Cameras (each with just one lens). I didn't find out yet, how to choose the other Cameras on Xiaomi. So it's maybe working, maybe not, depending on the Vendor / Phone.
