I want to build an application for taking photos with both cameras of a dual cam at the same time and wanted to ask if someone knows if the new camerax api allows me to process both camera streams separately.

  • Any news on this front? I was hoping to delve into a few multi-camera applications and I would like to know if onboarding into camerax is a waste of time or not. – RAM Nov 09 '20 at 17:09

As far as I can see, CameraX does not support multi-camera API yet, at least not as of 1.0.0-alpha08. They just added a new experimental API to get the cameraID for now, but that's about it.

See https://developer.android.com/jetpack/androidx/releases/camera#camera-core-1.0.0-alpha08

  • Do you have any links for the "API to get the cameraID"? I can't find a way to select a Camera by it's ID, there's only the `CameraSelector::requiresLensFacing` BS... – mrousavy Jan 13 '21 at 08:53
