Hello,

I am trying to write a method to disable the camera. I create a method like

private fun stopPreviewAndFreeCamera() {
camera.apply {
stopPreview()
release()
camera = null
}
}

and call stopPreviewAndFreeCamera() in the disable method. I get Unresolved reference: stopPreview. I do not understand why. Can someone help?

I guess you are copying some codes from here using camera1 API ?

stopReview is a public method in android.hardware.Camera.

You can check the doc carefully if anything is missing.
