Dual camera is not available for Redmi Note 14 pro plus

[Tomáš Válek]

Hello, 

where I can check if Redmi Note 14 pro plus supports dual camera recording? Device has a dual camera function but CameraX does not return combination to use it.

Thank you.

Hi Tomas,

You can check PackageManager#FEATURE_CAMERA_CONCURRENT for concurrent (a.k.a dual) camera device capability. 

More detailed documentation is ProcessCameraProvider#bindToLifecycle(List<ConcurrentCamera.SingleCameraConfig> singleCameraConfigs).

For dual camera recording, you can check this blogpost.

Best,

Kailiang

I checked cameraManager.concurrentCameraIds, but it returns empty list of combination..

Yes, if CameraManager#getConcurrentCameraIds() returns an empty list, the device is not supporting Concurrent (a.k.a Dual) Camera. 

This is Camera2 API, which returns front + back camera id pairs. It should be aligned with PackageManager#FEATURE_CAMERA_CONCURRENT (only non-empty list when this is true).

If you are using CameraX, you can use ProcessCameraProvider#getAvailableConcurrentCameraInfos() to query the front + back camera pair information.

From your result, Xiaomi Redmi Note 14 pro seems not supporting Concurrent Camera. 

You could try Xiaomi 13/14/15 Pro/Ultra.

Best,

Kailiang

Yes, but the stock camera app from Xiaomi supports dual camera recording.

Could you file a bug so we could double check with the Xiaomi team? 

It is possible OEM is not exposing the API to 3P apps.

I suggest you try Xiaomi 13/14/15 Pro/Ultra and see if there is any difference.

Sorry, no I cannot. I do not have the device. It's device from my customer from different country. Could you try it?

I have tested the Xiaomi 14 Ultra. It supports Concurrent Camera.

PackageManager#FEATURE_CAMERA_CONCURRENT  returns true and CameraManager#getConcurrentCameraIds() returns the front and back camera ids.
