If your tiện ích uses the original Camera class ("Camera1"), which has been deprecated since Android 5.0 (API level 21), we highly recommend updating vĩ đại a modern Android camera API. Android offers CameraX (a standardized, robust Jetpack camera API) and Camera2 (a low-level, framework API). For the vast majority of cases, we recommend migrating your tiện ích vĩ đại CameraX. Here's why:

  • Ease of use: CameraX handles the low-level details, sánh that you can focus less on building a camera experience from scratch and more on differentiating your tiện ích.
  • CameraX handles fragmentation for you: CameraX reduces long-term maintenance costs and device-specific code, bringing higher quality experiences to users. For more on this, kiểm tra out our Better Device Compatibility with CameraX blog post.
  • Advanced capabilities: CameraX is carefully designed vĩ đại make advanced functionality simple vĩ đại incorporate into your tiện ích. For example, you can easily apply Bokeh, Face Retouch, HDR (High Dynamic Range), and low-light-brightening Night capture mode vĩ đại your photos with CameraX Extensions.
  • Updatability: Android releases new capabilities and bug fixes vĩ đại CameraX throughout the year. By migrating vĩ đại CameraX, your tiện ích gets the latest Android camera technology with each CameraX release, not just on the annual Android version releases.

In this guide, you'll find common scenarios for camera applications. Each scenario includes a Camera1 implementation and a CameraX implementation for comparison.

When it comes vĩ đại migration, sometimes you need extra flexibility vĩ đại integrate with an existing codebase. All CameraX code in this guide has a CameraController implementation—great if you want the simplest way vĩ đại use CameraX—and also a CameraProvider implementation—great if you need more flexibility. To help you decide which is the right one for you, here are the benefits of each:

CameraController

CameraProvider

Requires little setup code Allows for more control
Allowing CameraX vĩ đại handle more of the setup process means functionality lượt thích tap-to-focus and pinch-to-zoom work automatically Since the tiện ích developer handles setup, there are more opportunities vĩ đại customize the configuration, lượt thích enabling output image rotation or setting the output image format in ImageAnalysis
Requiring PreviewView for the camera preview allows CameraX vĩ đại offer seamless end-to-end integration, as in our ML Kit integration which can map the ML model result coordinates (like face bounding boxes) directly onto the preview coordinates The ability vĩ đại use a custom `Surface` for camera preview allows for more flexibility, such as using your existing `Surface` code which could be an input vĩ đại other parts of your app

Before you migrate

Compare CameraX vĩ đại Camera1 usage

While the code may look different, the underlying concepts in Camera1 and CameraX are very similar. CameraX abstracts common camera functionality into use cases, and as a result, many tasks that were left vĩ đại the developer in Camera1 are handled automatically by CameraX. There are four UseCases in CameraX, which you can use for a variety of camera tasks: Preview, ImageCapture, VideoCapture, and ImageAnalysis.

One example of CameraX handling low-level details for developers is the ViewPort that is shared among active UseCases. This ensures all UseCases see exactly the same pixels. In Camera1, you have vĩ đại manage these details yourself, and given the variability in aspect ratios across devices' camera sensors and screens, it can be tricky to ensure your preview matches captured photos and videos.

As another example, CameraX handles Lifecycle callbacks automatically on the Lifecycle instance you pass it. This means CameraX handles your app's connection vĩ đại the camera during the entire Android activity lifecycle, including the following cases: closing the camera when your tiện ích goes into the background; removing the camera preview when the screen no longer requires displaying it; and pausing the camera preview when another activity takes foreground precedence, lượt thích an incoming Clip Hotline.

Finally, CameraX handles rotation and scaling without any additional code needed on your part. In the case of an Activity with an unlocked orientation, the UseCase setup is done every time the device is rotated, as the system destroys and recreates the Activity on orientation changes. This results in the UseCases setting their target rotation vĩ đại match the display's orientation by default each time. Read more about rotations in CameraX.

Before jumping into the details, here's a high-level look at CameraX's UseCases and how a Camera1 tiện ích would relate. (CameraX concepts are in blue and Camera1 concepts are in green.)

Compatibility and performance in CameraX

CameraX supports devices running Android 5.0 (API level 21) and higher. This represents over 98% of existing Android devices. CameraX is built vĩ đại handle differences between devices automatically, reducing the need for device-specific code in your tiện ích. Furthermore, we test over 150 physical devices on all Android versions since 5.0 in our CameraX Test Lab. You can review the full list of devices currently in the Test Lab.

CameraX uses an Executor to drive the camera stack. You can set your own executor on CameraX if your tiện ích has specific threading requirements. If not mix, CameraX creates and uses an optimized mặc định internal Executor. Many of the platform APIs on which CameraX is built require blocking interprocess communication (IPC) with hardware that can sometimes take hundreds of milliseconds vĩ đại respond. For this reason, CameraX only calls these APIs from background threads, which ensures the main thread is not blocked and that the UI remains fluid. Read more about threads.

If the target market for your tiện ích includes low-end devices, CameraX provides a way vĩ đại reduce setup time with a camera limiter. Since the process of connecting vĩ đại hardware components can take a non-trivial amount of time, especially on low-end devices, you can specify the mix of cameras your app needs. CameraX only connects vĩ đại these cameras during setup. For example, if the application uses only back-facing cameras, it can mix this configuration with DEFAULT_BACK_CAMERA and then CameraX avoids initializing front-facing cameras vĩ đại reduce the latency.

Android development concepts

This guide assumes a general familiarity with Android development. Beyond the basics, here are a couple of concepts that are helpful vĩ đại understand before jumping into the code below:

  • View Binding generates a binding class for your XML layout files, allowing you vĩ đại easily reference your views in Activities, as is done in several code snippets below. There are some differences between view binding and findViewById() (the prior way vĩ đại reference views), but in the code below you should be able to replace the view binding lines with a similar findViewById() Hotline.
  • Asynchronous Coroutines are a concurrency design pattern added in Kotlin 1.3 that can be used vĩ đại handle CameraX methods that return a ListenableFuture. This is made easier with the Jetpack Concurrent library as of version 1.1.0. To add an asynchronous coroutine vĩ đại your app:
    1. Add implementation("androidx.concurrent:concurrent-futures-ktx:1.1.0") to your Gradle tệp tin.
    2. Put any CameraX code that returns a ListenableFuture in a launch block or suspending function.
    3. Add an await() call vĩ đại the function Hotline that returns a ListenableFuture.
    4. For a deeper understanding of how coroutines work, see the Start a coroutine guide.

Migrate common scenarios

This section explains how vĩ đại migrate common scenarios from Camera1 vĩ đại CameraX. Each scenario covers a Camera1 implementation, a CameraX CameraProvider implementation, and a CameraX CameraController implementation.

Selecting a camera

In your camera application, one of the first things you may want vĩ đại offer is a way vĩ đại select different cameras.

Camera1

In Camera1, you can either call Camera.open() with no parameters to open the first back-facing camera, or you can pass in an integer ID for the camera you want vĩ đại open. Here's an example of how that might look:

// Camera1: select a camera from id.

// Note: opening the camera is a non-trivial task, and it shouldn't be
// called from the main thread, unlike CameraX calls, which can be
// on the main thread since CameraX kicks off background threads
// internally as needed.

private fun safeCameraOpen(id: Int): Boolean {
    return try {
        releaseCameraAndPreview()
        camera = Camera.open(id)
        true
    } catch (e: Exception) {
        Log.e(TAG, "failed vĩ đại open camera", e)
        false
    }
}

private fun releaseCameraAndPreview() {
    preview?.setCamera(null)
    camera?.release()
    camera = null
}

CameraX: CameraController

In CameraX, camera selection is handled by the CameraSelector class. CameraX makes the common case of using the mặc định camera easy. You can specify whether you want the mặc định front camera or the mặc định back camera. Furthermore, CameraX's CameraControl object lets you easily set the zoom level for your tiện ích, sánh if your tiện ích is running on a device that supports logical cameras, then it will switch to the proper lens.

Here's the CameraX code for using the mặc định back camera with a CameraController:

// CameraX: select a camera with CameraController

var cameraController = LifecycleCameraController(baseContext)
val selector = CameraSelector.Builder()
    .requireLensFacing(CameraSelector.LENS_FACING_BACK).build()
cameraController.cameraSelector = selector

CameraX: CameraProvider

Here's an example of selecting the mặc định front camera with CameraProvider (either the front or back camera can be used with either CameraController or CameraProvider):

// CameraX: select a camera with CameraProvider.

// Use await() within a suspend function vĩ đại get CameraProvider instance.
// For more details on await(), see the "Android development concepts"
// section above.
private suspend fun startCamera() {
    val cameraProvider = ProcessCameraProvider.getInstance(this).await()

    // Set up UseCases (more on UseCases in later scenarios)
    var useCases:Array = ...

    // Set the cameraSelector vĩ đại use the mặc định front-facing (selfie)
    // camera.
    val cameraSelector = CameraSelector.DEFAULT_FRONT_CAMERA

    try {
        // Unbind UseCases before rebinding.
        cameraProvider.unbindAll()

        // Bind UseCases vĩ đại camera. This function returns a camera
        // object which can be used vĩ đại perform operations lượt thích zoom,
        // flash, and focus.
        var camera = cameraProvider.bindToLifecycle(
            this, cameraSelector, useCases)

    } catch(exc: Exception) {
        Log.e(TAG, "UseCase binding failed", exc)
    }
})

...

// Call startCamera in the setup flow of your tiện ích, such as in onViewCreated.
override fun onViewCreated(view: View, savedInstanceState: Bundle?) {
    super.onViewCreated(view, savedInstanceState)

    ...

    lifecycleScope.launch {
        startCamera()
    }
}

If you want control over which camera is selected, this is also possible in CameraX if you use CameraProvider by calling getAvailableCameraInfos(), which gives you a CameraInfo object for checking certain camera properties like isFocusMeteringSupported(). You can then convert it vĩ đại a CameraSelector vĩ đại be used lượt thích in the above examples with the CameraInfo.getCameraSelector() method.

You can get more details about each camera by using the Camera2CameraInfo class. Call getCameraCharacteristic() with a key for the camera data you want. Check the CameraCharacteristics class for a list of all the keys you can query for.

Here's an example using a custom checkFocalLength() function that you could define yourself:

// CameraX: get a cameraSelector for first camera that matches the criteria
// defined in checkFocalLength().

val cameraInfo = cameraProvider.getAvailableCameraInfos()
    .first { cameraInfo ->
        val focalLengths = Camera2CameraInfo.from(cameraInfo)
            .getCameraCharacteristic(
                CameraCharacteristics.LENS_INFO_AVAILABLE_FOCAL_LENGTHS
            )
        return checkFocalLength(focalLengths)
    }
val cameraSelector = cameraInfo.getCameraSelector()

Showing a preview

A majority of camera applications need vĩ đại show the camera feed on-screen at some point. With Camera1, you need vĩ đại manage the lifecycle callbacks correctly, and you also need vĩ đại determine the rotation and scaling for your preview.

Additionally, in Camera1 you need vĩ đại decide whether vĩ đại use a TextureView or a SurfaceView as your preview surface. Both options come with tradeoffs, and in either case, Camera1 requires you to handle rotation and scaling correctly. CameraX's PreviewView, on the other hand, has underlying implementations for both TextureView and SurfaceView. CameraX decides which implementation is best depending on factors such as the type of device and the Android version your tiện ích is running on. If either implementation is compatible, you can declare your preference with PreviewView.ImplementationMode. The COMPATIBLE option uses a TextureView for the preview, and the PERFORMANCE value uses a SurfaceView (when possible).

Camera1

To show a preview, you need vĩ đại write your own Preview class with an implementation of the android.view.SurfaceHolder.Callback interface, which is used vĩ đại pass image data from the camera hardware vĩ đại the application. Then, before you can start the live image preview, the Preview class must be passed vĩ đại the Camera object.

// Camera1: mix up a camera preview.

class Preview(
        context: Context,
        private val camera: Camera
) : SurfaceView(context), SurfaceHolder.Callback {

    private val holder: SurfaceHolder = holder.apply {
        addCallback(this@Preview)
        setType(SurfaceHolder.SURFACE_TYPE_PUSH_BUFFERS)
    }

    override fun surfaceCreated(holder: SurfaceHolder) {
        // The Surface has been created, now tell the camera
        // where vĩ đại draw the preview.
        camera.apply {
            try {
                setPreviewDisplay(holder)
                startPreview()
            } catch (e: IOException) {
                Log.d(TAG, "error setting camera preview", e)
            }
        }
    }

    override fun surfaceDestroyed(holder: SurfaceHolder) {
        // Take care of releasing the Camera preview in your activity.
    }

    override fun surfaceChanged(holder: SurfaceHolder, format: Int,
                                w: Int, h: Int) {
        // If your preview can change or rotate, take care of those
        // events here. Make sure vĩ đại stop the preview before resizing
        // or reformatting it.
        if (holder.surface == null) {
            return  // The preview surface does not exist.
        }

        // Stop preview before making changes.
        try {
            camera.stopPreview()
        } catch (e: Exception) {
            // Tried vĩ đại stop a non-existent preview; nothing vĩ đại vì thế.
        }

        // Set preview size and make any resize, rotate or
        // reformatting changes here.

        // Start preview with new settings.
        camera.apply {
            try {
                setPreviewDisplay(holder)
                startPreview()
            } catch (e: Exception) {
                Log.d(TAG, "error starting camera preview", e)
            }
        }
    }
}

class CameraActivity : AppCompatActivity() {
    private lateinit var viewBinding: ActivityMainBinding
    private var camera: Camera? = null
    private var preview: Preview? = null

    override fun onCreate(savedInstanceState: Bundle?) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState)
        viewBinding = ActivityMainBinding.inflate(layoutInflater)
        setContentView(viewBinding.root)

        // Create an instance of Camera.
        camera = getCameraInstance()

        preview = camera?.let {
            // Create the Preview view.
            Preview(this, it)
        }

        // Set the Preview view as the nội dung of the activity.
        val cameraPreview: FrameLayout = viewBinding.cameraPreview
        cameraPreview.addView(preview)
    }
}

CameraX: CameraController

In CameraX, there's a lot less for you, the developer, vĩ đại manage. If you use a CameraController, then you must also use PreviewView. This means the Preview UseCase is implied, making the setup much less work:

// CameraX: mix up a camera preview with a CameraController.

class MainActivity : AppCompatActivity() {
    private lateinit var viewBinding: ActivityMainBinding

    override fun onCreate(savedInstanceState: Bundle?) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState)
        viewBinding = ActivityMainBinding.inflate(layoutInflater)
        setContentView(viewBinding.root)

        // Create the CameraController and mix it on the previewView.
        var cameraController = LifecycleCameraController(baseContext)
        cameraController.bindToLifecycle(this)
        val previewView: PreviewView = viewBinding.cameraPreview
        previewView.controller = cameraController
    }
}

CameraX: CameraProvider

With CameraX's CameraProvider, you vì thế not have vĩ đại use PreviewView, but it still greatly simplifies the preview setup over Camera1. For demonstration purposes, this example uses a PreviewView, but you can write a custom SurfaceProvider vĩ đại pass into setSurfaceProvider() if you have more complex needs.

Here, the Preview UseCase is not implied lượt thích it is with CameraController, so you need vĩ đại mix it up:

// CameraX: mix up a camera preview with a CameraProvider.

// Use await() within a suspend function vĩ đại get CameraProvider instance.
// For more details on await(), see the "Android development concepts"
// section above.
private suspend fun startCamera() {
    val cameraProvider = ProcessCameraProvider.getInstance(this).await()

    // Create Preview UseCase.
    val preview = Preview.Builder()
        .build()
        .also {
            it.setSurfaceProvider(
                viewBinding.viewFinder.surfaceProvider
            )
        }

    // Select mặc định back camera.
    val cameraSelector = CameraSelector.DEFAULT_BACK_CAMERA

    try {
        // Unbind UseCases before rebinding.
        cameraProvider.unbindAll()

        // Bind UseCases vĩ đại camera. This function returns a camera
        // object which can be used vĩ đại perform operations lượt thích zoom,
        // flash, and focus.
        var camera = cameraProvider.bindToLifecycle(
            this, cameraSelector, useCases)

    } catch(exc: Exception) {
        Log.e(TAG, "UseCase binding failed", exc)
    }
})

...

// Call startCamera() in the setup flow of your tiện ích, such as in onViewCreated.
override fun onViewCreated(view: View, savedInstanceState: Bundle?) {
    super.onViewCreated(view, savedInstanceState)

    ...

    lifecycleScope.launch {
        startCamera()
    }
}

Tap-to-focus

When your camera preview is on screen, a common control is vĩ đại mix the focus point when the user taps on the preview.

Camera1

To implement tap-to-focus in Camera1, you must calculate the optimal focus Area vĩ đại indicate where the Camera should attempt vĩ đại focus. This Area is passed into setFocusAreas(). Also, you must mix a compatible focus mode on the Camera. Focus area only has effect if the current focus mode is FOCUS_MODE_AUTO, FOCUS_MODE_MACRO, FOCUS_MODE_CONTINUOUS_VIDEO, or FOCUS_MODE_CONTINUOUS_PICTURE.

Each Area is a rectangle with specified weight. The weight is a value between 1 and 1000, and it's used vĩ đại prioritize focus Areas if multiple are mix. This example only uses one Area, sánh the weight value doesn't matter. Coordinates of the rectangle range from -1000 vĩ đại 1000. The upper left point is (-1000, -1000). The lower right point is (1000, 1000). The direction is relative vĩ đại the sensor orientation, that is, what the sensor sees. The direction is not affected by the rotation or mirroring of Camera.setDisplayOrientation(), sánh you need to convert the touch sự kiện coordinates vĩ đại the sensor coordinates.

        }
    }
}

CameraX: CameraController

CameraController listens vĩ đại PreviewView's touch events vĩ đại handle tap-to-focus automatically. You can enable and disable tap-to-focus with setTapToFocusEnabled(), and kiểm tra the value with the corresponding getter isTapToFocusEnabled().

The getTapToFocusState() method returns a LiveData object for tracking changes vĩ đại the focus state on the CameraController.

// CameraX: track the state of tap-to-focus over the Lifecycle of a PreviewView,
// with handlers you can define for focused, not focused, and failed states.

val tapToFocusStateObserver = Observer { state ->
    when (state) {
        CameraController.TAP_TO_FOCUS_NOT_STARTED ->
            Log.d(TAG, "tap-to-focus init")

            Log.d(TAG, "tap-to-focus finished (focus successful)")
        CameraController.TAP_TO_FOCUS_NOT_FOCUSED ->
            Log.d(TAG, "tap-to-focus finished (focused unsuccessful)")
        CameraController.TAP_TO_FOCUS_FAILED ->
            Log.d(TAG, "tap-to-focus failed")
    }
}

cameraController.getTapToFocusState().observe(this, tapToFocusStateObserver)

CameraX: CameraProvider

When using a CameraProvider, there is some setup required vĩ đại get tap-to-focus working. This example assumes you're using PreviewView. If not, you need to adapt the logic vĩ đại apply vĩ đại your custom Surface.

Here are the steps when using PreviewView:

  1. Set up a gesture detector vĩ đại handle tap events.
  2. With the tap sự kiện, create a MeteringPoint using MeteringPointFactory.createPoint().
  3. With the MeteringPoint, create a FocusMeteringAction.
  4. With the CameraControl object on your Camera (returned from bindToLifecycle()), Hotline startFocusAndMetering(), passing in the FocusMeteringAction.
  5. (Optional) Respond vĩ đại the FocusMeteringResult.
  6. Set your gesture detector vĩ đại respond vĩ đại touch events in PreviewView.setOnTouchListener().
// CameraX: implement tap-to-focus with CameraProvider.

// Define a gesture detector vĩ đại respond vĩ đại tap events and call
// startFocusAndMetering on CameraControl. If you want vĩ đại use a
// coroutine with await() vĩ đại kiểm tra the result of focusing, see the
// "Android development concepts" section above.
val gestureDetector = GestureDetectorCompat(context,
    object : SimpleOnGestureListener() {
        override fun onSingleTapUp(e: MotionEvent): Boolean {
            val previewView = previewView ?: return
            val camera = camera ?: return
            val meteringPointFactory = previewView.meteringPointFactory
            val focusPoint = meteringPointFactory.createPoint(e.x, e.y)
            val meteringAction = FocusMeteringAction
                .Builder(meteringPoint).build()
            lifecycleScope.launch {
                val focusResult = camera.cameraControl
                    .startFocusAndMetering(meteringAction).await()
                if (!result.isFocusSuccessful()) {
                    Log.d(TAG, "tap-to-focus failed")
                }
            }
        }
    }
)

...

// Set the gestureDetector in a touch listener on the PreviewView.
previewView.setOnTouchListener { _, sự kiện ->
    // See pinch-to-zooom scenario for scaleGestureDetector definition.
    var didConsume = scaleGestureDetector.onTouchEvent(event)
    if (!scaleGestureDetector.isInProgress) {
        didConsume = gestureDetector.onTouchEvent(event)
    }
    didConsume
}

Pinch-to-zoom

Zooming in and out of a preview is another common direct manipulation of the camera preview. With the increasing number of cameras on devices, users also expect the lens with the best focal length vĩ đại be automatically selected as the result of zooming.

Camera1

There are two ways vĩ đại zoom using Camera1. The Camera.startSmoothZoom() method animates from the current zoom level vĩ đại the zoom level you pass in. The Camera.Parameters.setZoom() method jumps directly vĩ đại the zoom level you pass in. Before using either one, Hotline isSmoothZoomSupported() or isZoomSupported(), respectively, vĩ đại ensure the related zoom methods you need are available on your Camera.

To implement pinch-to-zoom, this example uses setZoom() because the touch listener on the preview surface continually fires events as the pinch gesture happens, sánh it updates the zoom level immediately each time. The ZoomTouchListener class is defined below, and it should be mix as a callback to your preview surface's touch listener.

// Camera1: implement pinch-to-zoom.

// Define a scale gesture detector vĩ đại respond vĩ đại pinch events and call
// setZoom on Camera.Parameters.
val scaleGestureDetector = ScaleGestureDetector(context,
    object : ScaleGestureDetector.OnScaleGestureListener {
        override fun onScale(detector: ScaleGestureDetector): Boolean {
            val camera = camera ?: return false
            val parameters = try {
                camera.parameters
            } catch (e: RuntimeException) {
                return false
            }

            // In case there is any focus happening, stop it.
            camera.cancelAutoFocus()

            // Set the zoom level on the Camera.Parameters, and set
            // the Parameters back onto the Camera.
            val currentZoom = parameters.zoom
            parameters.setZoom(detector.scaleFactor * currentZoom)
        camera.setParameters(parameters)
            return true
        }
    }
)

// Define a View.OnTouchListener vĩ đại attach vĩ đại your preview view.
class ZoomTouchListener : View.OnTouchListener {
    override fun onTouch(v: View, event: MotionEvent): Boolean =
        scaleGestureDetector.onTouchEvent(event)
}

// Set a ZoomTouchListener vĩ đại handle touch events on your preview view
// if zoom is supported by the current camera.
if (camera.getParameters().isZoomSupported()) {
    view.setOnTouchListener(ZoomTouchListener())
}

CameraX: CameraController

Similar vĩ đại tap-to-focus, CameraController listens vĩ đại PreviewView's touch events vĩ đại handle pinch-to-zoom automatically. You can enable and disable pinch-to-zoom with setPinchToZoomEnabled(), and kiểm tra the value with the corresponding getter isPinchToZoomEnabled().

The getZoomState() method returns a LiveData object for tracking changes vĩ đại the ZoomState on the CameraController.

// CameraX: track the state of pinch-to-zoom over the Lifecycle of
// a PreviewView, logging the linear zoom ratio.

val pinchToZoomStateObserver = Observer { state ->
    val zoomRatio = state.getZoomRatio()
    Log.d(TAG, "ptz-zoom-ratio $zoomRatio")
}

cameraController.getZoomState().observe(this, pinchToZoomStateObserver)

CameraX: CameraProvider

To get pinch-to-zoom working with CameraProvider, some setup is required. If you're not using PreviewView, you need vĩ đại adapt the logic vĩ đại apply vĩ đại your custom Surface.

Here are the steps when using PreviewView:

  1. Set up a scale gesture detector vĩ đại handle pinch events.
  2. Get the ZoomState from the Camera.CameraInfo object, where the Camera instance is returned when you call bindToLifecycle().
  3. If the ZoomState has a zoomRatio value, save that as the current zoom ratio. If there is no zoomRatio on ZoomState, then use the camera's default zoom rate (1.0).
  4. Take the product of the current zoom ratio with the scaleFactor to determine the new zoom ratio, and pass that into CameraControl.setZoomRatio().
  5. Set your gesture detector vĩ đại respond vĩ đại touch events in PreviewView.setOnTouchListener().
// CameraX: implement pinch-to-zoom with CameraProvider.

// Define a scale gesture detector vĩ đại respond vĩ đại pinch events and call
// setZoomRatio on CameraControl.
val scaleGestureDetector = ScaleGestureDetector(context,
    object : SimpleOnGestureListener() {
        override fun onScale(detector: ScaleGestureDetector): Boolean {
            val camera = camera ?: return
            val zoomState = camera.cameraInfo.zoomState
            val currentZoomRatio: Float = zoomState.value?.zoomRatio ?: 1f
            camera.cameraControl.setZoomRatio(
                detector.scaleFactor * currentZoomRatio
            )
        }
    }
)

...

// Set the scaleGestureDetector in a touch listener on the PreviewView.
previewView.setOnTouchListener { _, sự kiện ->
    var didConsume = scaleGestureDetector.onTouchEvent(event)
    if (!scaleGestureDetector.isInProgress) {
        // See pinch-to-zooom scenario for gestureDetector definition.
        didConsume = gestureDetector.onTouchEvent(event)
    }
    didConsume
}

Taking a photo

This section shows how vĩ đại trigger photo capture, whether you need vĩ đại vì thế it on a shutter button press, after a timer has elapsed, or on any other sự kiện of your choosing.

Camera1

In Camera1, you first define a Camera.PictureCallback to manage the picture data when it's requested. Here's a simple example of PictureCallback for handling JPEG image data:

// Camera1: define a Camera.PictureCallback vĩ đại handle JPEG data.

private val picture = Camera.PictureCallback { data, _ ->
    val pictureFile: File = getOutputMediaFile(MEDIA_TYPE_IMAGE) ?: lập cập {
        Log.d(TAG,
              "error creating truyền thông tệp tin, kiểm tra storage permissions")
        return@PictureCallback
    }

    try {
        val fos = FileOutputStream(pictureFile)
        fos.write(data)
        fos.close()
    } catch (e: FileNotFoundException) {
        Log.d(TAG, "file not found", e)
    } catch (e: IOException) {
        Log.d(TAG, "error accessing file", e)
    }
}

Then, whenever you want vĩ đại take a picture, you Hotline the takePicture() method on your Camera instance. This takePicture() method has three different parameters for different data types. The first parameter is for a ShutterCallback (which isn't defined in this example). The second parameter is for a PictureCallback vĩ đại handle the raw (uncompressed) camera data. The third parameter is the one this example uses, since it's a PictureCallback vĩ đại handle JPEG image data.

// Camera1: Hotline takePicture on Camera instance, passing our PictureCallback.

camera?.takePicture(null, null, picture)

CameraX: CameraController

CameraX's CameraController maintains the simplicity of Camera1 for image capture by implementing a takePicture() method of its own. Here, define a function vĩ đại configure a MediaStore entry and take a photo vĩ đại be saved there.

// CameraX: define a function that uses CameraController vĩ đại take a photo.

private val FILENAME_FORMAT = "yyyy-MM-dd-HH-mm-ss-SSS"

private fun takePhoto() {
   // Create time stamped name and MediaStore entry.
   val name = SimpleDateFormat(FILENAME_FORMAT, Locale.US)
              .format(System.currentTimeMillis())
   val contentValues = ContentValues().apply {
       put(MediaStore.MediaColumns.DISPLAY_NAME, name)
       put(MediaStore.MediaColumns.MIME_TYPE, "image/jpeg")
       if(Build.VERSION.SDK_INT > Build.VERSION_CODES.P) {
           put(MediaStore.Images.Media.RELATIVE_PATH, "Pictures/CameraX-Image")
       }
   }

   // Create output options object which contains tệp tin + metadata.
   val outputOptions = ImageCapture.OutputFileOptions
       .Builder(context.getContentResolver(),
            MediaStore.Images.Media.EXTERNAL_CONTENT_URI, contentValues)
       .build()

   // Set up image capture listener, which is triggered after photo has
   // been taken.
   cameraController.takePicture(
       outputOptions,
       ContextCompat.getMainExecutor(this),
       object : ImageCapture.OnImageSavedCallback {
           override fun onError(e: ImageCaptureException) {
               Log.e(TAG, "photo capture failed", e)
           }

           override fun onImageSaved(
               output: ImageCapture.OutputFileResults
           ) {
               val msg = "Photo capture succeeded: ${output.savedUri}"
               Toast.makeText(baseContext, msg, Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show()
               Log.d(TAG, msg)
           }
       }
   )
}

CameraX: CameraProvider

Taking a photo with CameraProvider works almost the exact same way as with CameraController, but you first need vĩ đại create and bind an ImageCapture UseCase vĩ đại have an object vĩ đại Hotline takePicture() on:

// CameraX: create and bind an ImageCapture UseCase.

// Make a reference vĩ đại the ImageCapture UseCase at a scope that can be accessed
// throughout the camera logic in your tiện ích.
private var imageCapture: ImageCapture? = null

...

// Create an ImageCapture instance (can be added with other
// UseCase definitions).
imageCapture = ImageCapture.Builder().build()

...

// Bind UseCases vĩ đại camera (adding imageCapture along with preview here, but
// preview is not required vĩ đại use imageCapture). This function returns a camera
// object which can be used vĩ đại perform operations lượt thích zoom, flash, and focus.
var camera = cameraProvider.bindToLifecycle(
    this, cameraSelector, preview, imageCapture)

Then, whenever you want vĩ đại capture a photo, you can call ImageCapture.takePicture(). See the CameraController code in this section for a full example of the takePhoto() function.

// CameraX: define a function that uses CameraController vĩ đại take a photo.

private fun takePhoto() {
    // Get a stable reference of the modifiable ImageCapture UseCase.
    val imageCapture = imageCapture ?: return

    ...

    // Call takePicture on imageCapture instance.
    imageCapture.takePicture(
        ...
    )
}

Recording a video

Recording a Clip is considerably more complicated phàn nàn the scenarios looked at so far. Each part of the process must be mix up properly, usually in a particular order. Also, you might need vĩ đại verify that the Clip and audio are in sync or giảm giá khuyến mãi with additional device inconsistencies.

As you'll see, CameraX again handles a lot of this complexity for you.

Camera1

Video capture using Camera1 requires careful management of the Camera and MediaRecorder, and the methods must be called in a particular order. You must follow this order for your application vĩ đại work properly:

  1. Open the camera.
  2. Prepare and start a preview (if your tiện ích shows the Clip being recorded, which is usually the case).
  3. Unlock the camera for use by MediaRecorder by calling Camera.unlock().
  4. Configure the recording by calling these methods on MediaRecorder:
    1. Connect your Camera instance with setCamera(camera).
    2. Call setAudioSource(MediaRecorder.AudioSource.CAMCORDER).
    3. Call setVideoSource(MediaRecorder.VideoSource.CAMERA).
    4. Call setProfile(CamcorderProfile.get(CamcorderProfile.QUALITY_1080P)) to mix the quality. See CamcorderProfile for all of the quality options.
    5. Call setOutputFile(getOutputMediaFile(MEDIA_TYPE_VIDEO).toString()).
    6. If your tiện ích has a preview of the Clip, call setPreviewDisplay(preview?.holder?.surface).
    7. Call setOutputFormat(MediaRecorder.OutputFormat.MPEG_4).
    8. Call setAudioEncoder(MediaRecorder.AudioEncoder.DEFAULT).
    9. Call setVideoEncoder(MediaRecorder.VideoEncoder.DEFAULT).
    10. Call prepare() vĩ đại finalize the configuration of your MediaRecorder.
  5. To start recording, Hotline MediaRecorder.start().
  6. To stop recording, Hotline these methods. Again, follow this exact order:
    1. Call MediaRecorder.stop().
    2. Optionally, remove the current MediaRecorder configuration by calling MediaRecorder.reset().
    3. Call MediaRecorder.release().
    4. Lock the camera sánh that future MediaRecorder sessions can use it by calling Camera.lock().
  7. To stop the preview, Hotline Camera.stopPreview().
  8. Finally, vĩ đại release the Camera sánh other processes can use it, call Camera.release().

Here are all of those steps combined:

// Camera1: mix up a MediaRecorder and a function vĩ đại start and stop video
// recording.

// Make a reference vĩ đại the MediaRecorder at a scope that can be accessed
// throughout the camera logic in your tiện ích.
private var mediaRecorder: MediaRecorder? = null
private var isRecording = false

...

private fun prepareMediaRecorder(): Boolean {
    mediaRecorder = MediaRecorder()

    // Unlock and mix camera vĩ đại MediaRecorder.
    camera?.unlock()

    mediaRecorder?.lập cập {
        setCamera(camera)

        // Set the audio and Clip sources.
        setAudioSource(MediaRecorder.AudioSource.CAMCORDER)
        setVideoSource(MediaRecorder.VideoSource.CAMERA)

        // Set a CamcorderProfile (requires API Level 8 or higher).
        setProfile(CamcorderProfile.get(CamcorderProfile.QUALITY_HIGH))

        // Set the output tệp tin.
        setOutputFile(getOutputMediaFile(MEDIA_TYPE_VIDEO).toString())

        // Set the preview output.
        setPreviewDisplay(preview?.holder?.surface)

        setOutputFormat(MediaRecorder.OutputFormat.MPEG_4)
        setAudioEncoder(MediaRecorder.AudioEncoder.DEFAULT)
        setVideoEncoder(MediaRecorder.VideoEncoder.DEFAULT)

        // Prepare configured MediaRecorder.
        return try {
            prepare()
            true
        } catch (e: IllegalStateException) {
            Log.d(TAG, "preparing MediaRecorder failed", e)
            releaseMediaRecorder()
            false
        } catch (e: IOException) {
            Log.d(TAG, "setting MediaRecorder tệp tin failed", e)
            releaseMediaRecorder()
            false
        }
    }
    return false
}

private fun releaseMediaRecorder() {
    mediaRecorder?.reset()
    mediaRecorder?.release()
    mediaRecorder = null
    camera?.lock()
}

private fun startStopVideo() {
    if (isRecording) {
        // Stop recording and release camera.
        mediaRecorder?.stop()
        releaseMediaRecorder()
        camera?.lock()
        isRecording = false

        // This is a good place vĩ đại inform user that Clip recording has stopped.
    } else {
        // Initialize Clip camera.
        if (prepareVideoRecorder()) {
            // Camera is available and unlocked, MediaRecorder is prepared, now
            // you can start recording.
            mediaRecorder?.start()
            isRecording = true

            // This is a good place vĩ đại inform the user that recording has
            // started.
        } else {
            // Prepare didn't work, release the camera.
            releaseMediaRecorder()

            // Inform user here.
        }
    }
}

CameraX: CameraController

With CameraX's CameraController, you can toggle the ImageCapture, VideoCapture, and ImageAnalysis UseCases independently, as long as the list of UseCases can be used concurrently. The ImageCapture and ImageAnalysis UseCases are enabled by mặc định, which is why you didn't need vĩ đại Hotline setEnabledUseCases() for taking a photo.

To use a CameraController for Clip recording, you first need vĩ đại use setEnabledUseCases() vĩ đại allow the VideoCapture UseCase.

// CameraX: Enable VideoCapture UseCase on CameraController.

cameraController.setEnabledUseCases(VIDEO_CAPTURE);

When you want vĩ đại start recording Clip, you can Hotline the CameraController.startRecording() function. This function can save the recorded Clip vĩ đại a File, as you can see in the example below. Additionally, you need vĩ đại pass an Executor and a class that implements OnVideoSavedCallback to handle success and error callbacks. When the recording should over, call CameraController.stopRecording().

Note: If you're using CameraX 1.3.0-alpha02 or later, there is an additional AudioConfig parameter that allows you vĩ đại enable or disable audio recording on your Clip. To enable audio recording, you need vĩ đại ensure you have microphone permissions. Additionally, the stopRecording() method is removed in 1.3.0-alpha02, and startRecording() returns a Recording object that can be used for pausing, resuming, and stopping the Clip recording.

// CameraX: implement Clip capture with CameraController.

private val FILENAME_FORMAT = "yyyy-MM-dd-HH-mm-ss-SSS"

// Define a VideoSaveCallback class for handling success and error states.
class VideoSaveCallback : OnVideoSavedCallback {
    override fun onVideoSaved(outputFileResults: OutputFileResults) {
        val msg = "Video capture succeeded: ${outputFileResults.savedUri}"
        Toast.makeText(baseContext, msg, Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show()
        Log.d(TAG, msg)
    }

    override fun onError(videoCaptureError: Int, message: String,
                         cause: Throwable?) {
        Log.d(TAG, "error saving video: $message", cause)
    }
}

private fun startStopVideo() {
    if (cameraController.isRecording()) {
        // Stop the current recording session.
        cameraController.stopRecording()
        return
    }

    // Define the File options for saving the Clip.
    val name = SimpleDateFormat(FILENAME_FORMAT, Locale.US)
        .format(System.currentTimeMillis())

    val outputFileOptions = OutputFileOptions
        .Builder(File(this.filesDir, name))
        .build()

    // Call startRecording on the CameraController.
    cameraController.startRecording(
        outputFileOptions,
        ContextCompat.getMainExecutor(this),
        VideoSaveCallback()
    )
}

CameraX: CameraProvider

If you're using a CameraProvider, you need vĩ đại create a VideoCapture UseCase and pass in a Recorder object. On the Recorder.Builder, you can set the Clip quality and, optionally, a FallbackStrategy, which handles cases when a device can't meet your desired quality specifications. Then bind the VideoCapture instance vĩ đại the CameraProvider with your other UseCases.

// CameraX: create and bind a VideoCapture UseCase with CameraProvider.

// Make a reference vĩ đại the VideoCapture UseCase and Recording at a
// scope that can be accessed throughout the camera logic in your tiện ích.
private lateinit var videoCapture: VideoCapture
private var recording: Recording? = null

...

// Create a Recorder instance vĩ đại mix on a VideoCapture instance (can be
// added with other UseCase definitions).
val recorder = Recorder.Builder()
    .setQualitySelector(QualitySelector.from(Quality.FHD))
    .build()
videoCapture = VideoCapture.withOutput(recorder)

...

// Bind UseCases vĩ đại camera (adding videoCapture along with preview here, but
// preview is not required vĩ đại use videoCapture). This function returns a camera
// object which can be used vĩ đại perform operations lượt thích zoom, flash, and focus.
var camera = cameraProvider.bindToLifecycle(
    this, cameraSelector, preview, videoCapture)

At this point, the Recorder can be accessed on the videoCapture.output property. The Recorder can start Clip recordings that are saved vĩ đại a File, ParcelFileDescriptor, or MediaStore. This example uses MediaStore.

On the Recorder, there are several methods vĩ đại Hotline vĩ đại prepare it. Call prepareRecording() vĩ đại mix the MediaStore output options. If your tiện ích has permission vĩ đại use the device's microphone, Hotline withAudioEnabled() as well. Then, Hotline start() vĩ đại begin recording, passing in a context and a Consumer<VideoRecordEvent> sự kiện listener vĩ đại handle Clip record events. If successful, the returned Recording can be used vĩ đại pause, resume, or stop the recording.

// CameraX: implement Clip capture with CameraProvider.
