B4J Library WebCam class: how to choose a second camera ?

Hi, All

Thanks to the developer of SarxosWebCam wrapper !
SarxosWebCam lib was updated to "webcam-capture-0.3.12", so i was trying and got success in updating the webcam class - we can choose any camera by the name.

Extra .JARS (sorry, no store for files, they were googled one by one on the net):

#AdditionalJar : webcam-capture-0.3.12.jar
#AdditionalJar : slf4j-api-2.0.0.jar
#AdditionalJar : bridj-0.6.2.jar
#AdditionalJar : slf4j-nop-2.0.3.jar

    Next
    Return L
End Sub

Public Sub setDimension2(cam As JavaObject, NewDimension As WebCamDeviceDimension)
    setDimension(cam, NewDimension.width, NewDimension.height)
End Sub

Class was updated.

I have added some code to the project in post #1 so that you can scan QR Codes (also some other 1D and 2D codes) with the WebCam.
B4J project is attached
Copy attached javase-2.2.jar to your B4J additional library folder.

Download core-3.2.1.jar from here and copy it to your B4J additional library folder.

Hold the QR Code close enough to the WebCam.

enjoy!

I tried to run this example, but I got this errors:

SLF4J: No SLF4J providers were found.
SLF4J: Defaulting to no-operation (NOP) logger implementation
SLF4J: See https://www.slf4j.org/codes.html#noProviders for further details.
main._appstart (java line: 82)

at java.base/jdk.internal.util.Preconditions.outOfBoundsCheckIndex(Preconditions.java:70)

What could be?

solved with this line code:

#AdditionalJar : slf4j-nop-2.0.3.jar
