Android Question CamEx2 and Camera2 can't find camera

Yvon Steinthal · Feb 12, 2018

Hello,

I am using the new libraries in order to make the camera work. However to no avail.
I have downloaded an app that succesfully uses the front camera of my android device. However i cannot do the same on my own by code.

I need help to find out how i can achieve what "CameraFi" app succesfully does that i can't do with B4A.

My code is simple:

B4X:

camX2.Initialize(pnlDemoVideo)
   camX2.OpenCamera(True)

When the opencamera function is set it returns id="" it has not found a camera...

Run the example exactly as it is: https://www.b4x.com/android/forum/threads/camera2-still-images-and-videos.83920/ does it work?

If not then try it with CameraEx. It is possible that your phone doesn't fully support the new API.

Thanks Erel,

I went back to CameraEx and it works better.

However its not the only issue but it has nothing to do with B4A.

For information i am using a chinese made android tv... and the power from the motherboard is insufficient to power up the camera at the same time as other USB equipments plugged in. Its a hardware issue that i found out, i will have to talk to my distributor.

Y.
