Android Camera2Basic Sample (Kotlin) ==================================== This sample demonstrates how to use basic functionalities of Camera2 API. You can learn how to iterate through characteristics of all the cameras attached to the device, display a camera preview, and take pictures. Introduction ------------ The [Camera2 API][1] provides an interface to individual camera devices connected to an Android device. It replaces the deprecated Camera class. Use [getCameraIdList][2] to get a list of all the available cameras. You can then use [getCameraCharacteristics][3] and find the best camera that suits your need (front/rear facing, resolution etc). Create an instance of [CameraDevice.StateCallback][4] and open a camera. It is ready to start camera preview when the camera is opened. This sample uses TextureView to show the camera preview. Create a [CameraCaptureSession][5] and set a repeating [CaptureRequest][6] to it. Still image capture takes several steps. First, you need to lock the focus of the camera by updating the CaptureRequest for the camera preview. Then, in a similar way, you need to run a precapture sequence. After that, it is ready to capture a picture. Create a new CaptureRequest and call [capture][7]. Don't forget to unlock the focus when you are done.
