camerax.lensfacing.front is black problem

[Brandon Palacios Zamudio]

Hello fellow blessings, I am implementing CameraX for Java using the following dependencies:

def camerax_version = '1.0.0-alpha06'

implementation "androidx.camera:camera-core:$ anclacamerax_version}"

implementation "androidx.camera:camera-camera2:$ anclacamerax_version}"

But the problem is when I try to use the front camera for which it gives me a black screen; there are no problems in camerax.lensfacing.back but the problem is in camerax.lensfacing.front, is there any workaround for this?

Hi Brandon,

Can you please use the current Beta release (1.0.0-beta06)? We have had a lot of fixes since alpha06. Thanks!

Hi Vinit blessings, I am changing from 1.0.0-alpha06 to 1.0.0-beta06 but it has generated a whole series of errors, would you have any example of how to implement it PLEASE.

Hi Brandon,

Recommend looking at CameraXBasic. There are a few changes to make the API more stable since so may require some refactoring from Alpha06, the sample would be a good place to start. Thanks!

Thank you very much Vinit has worked for me, good that the sample demo was updated, but I have a question, whenever I make an image capture the photo is cropped, is there any way to control it?

Sorry for the late reply Brandon, I was out of office.

When you say cropped do you mean that the output resolution / aspect ratio are different from what you set? What resolution and aspect ratio are you setting for the image capture use case? Example: most devices only support 4:3 and 16:9 so if you are setting a square aspect ratio 1:1 the output may not be available on many devices. 

Thanks,
