In most of application we need to add camera facility and the headache start when we need to some modify in Android camera API. Then solution is here and i am telling you how to control camera using CameraFragment Android library. It is a simple easy-to-integrate Camera Fragment for Android and their preview directly the camera view, and provides a easy API to capture or manage the device.

You can setup your own layout and control camera using CameraFragment.

In your module

compile 'com.github.florent37:camerafragment:1.0.4'

Implementation:

//you can configure the fragment by the configuration builder
CameraFragment cameraFragment = CameraFragment.newInstance(new Configuration.Builder().build());

getSupportFragmentManager().beginTransaction()
                .replace(R.id.content, cameraFragment, FRAGMENT_TAG)
                .commit();

Actions

• You can directly take a photo / video with

cameraFragment.takePhotoOrCaptureVideo(callback);
cameraFragment.takePhotoOrCaptureVideo(callback, directoryPath, fileName);

• Flash can be enable / disabled ( AUTO / OFF / ON ) with

cameraFragment.toggleFlashMode();

• Camera Type can be modified ( BACK / FRONT ) with

cameraFragment.switchCameraTypeFrontBack();

• Camera action ( PHOTO / VIDEO ) can be modified with

cameraFragment.switchActionPhotoVideo();

• And you can change the captured photo / video size with

cameraFragment.openSettingDialog();

Listeners

Result

Get back the result of the camera record / photo in the CameraFragmentResultListener

cameraFragment.setResultListener(new CameraFragmentResultListener() {
       @Override
       public void onVideoRecorded(byte[] bytes, String filePath) {
                //called when the video record is finished and saved

                startActivityForResult(PreviewActivity.newIntentVideo(MainActivity.this, filePath));
       }

       @Override
       public void onPhotoTaken(byte[] bytes, String filePath) {
                //called when the photo is taken and saved

                startActivity(PreviewActivity.newIntentPhoto(MainActivity.this, filePath));
       }
});

Camera Listener

cameraFragment.setStateListener(new CameraFragmentStateListener() {

    //when the current displayed camera is the back
    void onCurrentCameraBack();
    //when the current displayed camera is the front
    void onCurrentCameraFront();

    //when the flash is at mode auto
    void onFlashAuto();
    //when the flash is at on
    void onFlashOn();
    //when the flash is off
    void onFlashOff();

    //if the camera is ready to take a photo
    void onCameraSetupForPhoto();
    //if the camera is ready to take a video
    void onCameraSetupForVideo();

    //when the camera state is "ready to record a video"
    void onRecordStateVideoReadyForRecord();
    //when the camera state is "recording a video"
    void onRecordStateVideoInProgress();
    //when the camera state is "ready to take a photo"
    void onRecordStatePhoto();

    //after the rotation of the screen / camera
    void shouldRotateControls(int degrees);

    void onStartVideoRecord(File outputFile);
    void onStopVideoRecord();
});
