I am going to be making a camera application, really simple, just add some new interface to the camera app, so nothing fancy, and I was wondering if I could still use the old android.hardware.Camera api since it is simpler and easier to use.

Yes, you should have no problem with this portion of your project.

It might. But...

The android.hardware.camera2 package provides an interface to individual camera devices connected to an Android device. It replaces the deprecated Camera class. - Source

It was deprecated as of API 21

  • My guess is that so long as I am not doing something that fancy, I should be ok, but my concern is that it would simply not work on say Lollipop and up or something – mrOak Jul 26 '16 at 17:20
  • Only way to know would be to try and test, I suppose. – OneCricketeer Jul 26 '16 at 17:35
