Features

Image and video capture seamlessly working with the same preview session.
Automatic system permission handling.
Automatic preview scaling.
- Create a CameraView of any size (not just presets!).
- Automatic output cropping to match your CameraView bounds.
Multiple capture modes.
- PICTURE_MODE_QUALITY: an image captured normally using the camera APIs.
- PICTURE_MODE_SPEED: a freeze frame of the CameraView preview (similar to SnapChat and Instagram) for devices with slower cameras.
- Automatic picture mode determination based on measured speed.

Setup

Add CameraKit to the dependencies block in your app level build.gradle:

compile 'com.flurgle:camerakit:1.0.0'

Usage

To use CameraKit, simply add a CameraView to your layout:

<com.flurgle.camerakit.CameraView
    android:id="@+id/camera"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent" />

Make sure you override onResume and onPause in your activity, and make calls respectively to CameraView.start() and CameraView.stop().

@Override
protected void onResume() {
    super.onResume();
    cameraView.start();
}

@Override
protected void onPause() {
    cameraView.stop();
    super.onPause();
}
