Top 3 Camera App For Android

[Kiliano Ratha]

Ifyou're using a Chrome device at work or school, your network administrator can set camera and microphone settings for you. In that case, you can't change them here. Learn about using a managed Chrome device.

Webcam detection is automatic where present. In 4.0.3, the camera defaults to the front-facing camera so a lot of applications (especially pre-2.3 applications, which can only fetch the default camera, i.e. the back-facing one) will still show you the old checkerbox-with-moving-square stand-in instead.

If you want to use your actual camera instead of a mock, the option's value will be webcam$N. How do you know what $N should be? emulator -webcam-list lists and describes the cameras available on your computer.

Just got my R50 a couple days ago. Started up and it prompted me to get the Camera Connect app so that the camera and my smart phone can interact. Downloaded the app and went to put in my Camera information, the R50 is not listed in the supported camera's page. The app says it was last updated November of 2022, but I can find YouTuber's videos showing how to make the two interact. Eventually we got them to talk a bit, only for the app to say that "This camera is not supported"... WTF

My wife, tech support, thinks maybe the app had been rolled back at some point to a version that was before the R50 was added to it. Very sour note to start a new relationship with...

Okay, I was able to find that date on the Google Play store. It does not, however, help with the understanding on why the app does not seem to support the R50 currently. I verified that the EOS R50 is not in the list of supported cameras (screen shot included)

Okay, I have a Lenovo tablet running android and downloaded the app onto it. The R50 does show on my tablet (not sure why I didn't think to try that). So my problem apparently is due to the age of my phone and the version of Android I can run on it. Thanks everyone for the assist!

Must have been an update issue since this just started happening. I can no longer listen to the sound when i view a camera via my bluetooth earphones. The sound only plays on my speaker of my phone. All permissions were allowed, also reinstalled the app. Sound works fine with everything else using my earphones on my phone.

I have a s21 ultra, app is up to date. This just started happening, maybe from the last app update. Right when i click on the sound to listen from the cam, it switches to the phone speaker audio. When i turn it off and i adjust the volume it switches to the earbuds.

I am having the same issue. Drives me crazy as sometimes I keep my camera open when kids come home from school and would like to have kept them in my ear but now it plays on my phone speaker. It used to work fine until a few months ago. I had the S21 & S24 plus and it happened on both phones.

Add a toolbar option which would launch the camera in one click, and allow capturing the image with another click of the shutter button, which would directly add a link to the image in the currently open file and directly add the image file to the (set by default) attachment folder.

This would allow taking a photo and adding it into notes directly with just 2 taps. This would go a long way in aiding quick capture of events into notes.

Currently to be able to take a photo and to add it to obsidian one would have to leave obsidian, launch the camera app, take the photo, then go back to obsidian, and finally find the image using the attachment tool. This has a little too much friction (for me) to be able to use it meaningfully.

I am using an inbuilt camera with Honor 7X smartphone and running Android version 8.0. I have tried to install the CAMERA FV-5 LITE application to use with the phone camera but cannot understand the way to control the aperture and shutter speed.

The last time Camera FV-5 was updated was in November 2017. To say it is getting a bit long in the tooth is an understatement. That was only three months after the initial public release of Android 8.0. A lot of reviews for Camera FV-5 are negative and indicate that it causes a wide variety of phones to crash when certain features are accessed. It may be that your phone will not fully work with Camera FV-5.

Very few smartphones allow aperture control because the vast majority of smartphone cameras do not have an adjustable aperture. The aperture in the lens is fixed. Most phone cameras that appear to allow "aperture control" simulate changing the aperture by using software to process the images from two different cameras facing the same way.

EV is exposure value. In this context, it actually means exposure compensation, which is basically a way of telling the camera to expose brighter or darker by a certain amount than what the camera thinks is the "correct" exposure. Most camera meters think everything should wind up to be about as bright as medium grey.

AF is autofocus. AF-C stands for "Continuous AF", which means the camera is constantly refocusing on whatever it is pointed at until the picture is taken. AF-S stands for "Single AF" in which the camera focuses on what it is pointed at and then locks in that focus distance until the picture is taken, even if the camera is repointed or the subject moves.

Depends a lot on the actual camera hardware and the camera application. On my Android 9 (Xiaomi Note 7), the camera app has a "Pro" setting in which I can pick the ISO, the shutter speed and the focus[*]. You will notice that there is no setting for aperture, because since the small size of the sensor makes the camera diffraction-limited, the camera is essentially a fixed-aperture one.

I'm looking for a way to open a simple application, just to take a picture and store it, but as I've seen other topics, the problem appears as ''application missing, please manually enter the information''..

could someone please help me?

as the only thing I need is to open the app and take the photo through it, there are no other parameters, so I just put its destination in the 'appearance' column.

Could someone enlighten me what I did wrong?

If you are using Android 11+, I don't think there's a good way to do what you need. You can use an appearance of ex:com.jeyluta.timestampcamerafree() to launch Timestamp Camera, but the app doesn't know how to return an image directly to Collect.

I am very happy if I can do this, in my project I necessarily need to use this application from an external source to validate the data, it brings the geolocation information, date and time and location directly on the photo. this would be very important to me, thank you very much, I look forward to getting back to you as soon as possible.

What Android version are you using? Are you sure you have the free version installed from =com.jeyluta.timestampcamerafree? If you have one of the paid versions you have to make sure to use the corresponding app id.

The app developer did get back to me with a very helpful message! We need to do some design and exploration around what he suggests and will try to have a solution for Collect 2023.4 in September or so. What we would like to try to do is provide a way to specify in the form the app ID of an alternate camera app.

this would really be very useful.

I'm using android 12 and 11, I tested it on two smartphones and both didn't work, I'm using the free version of the TimeStamp app..

this would be great because I would also like to use the camera with an application to scan documents "CamScaner" it would also be perfect for my work, if you can include this function it would also be great.

or, I think it might help for now if I can collect the photo taken by OdkCollect and assign a response collected in text to the image, like tag image but this option just gives me the possibility to scratch or draw on the image, if you could paste a text of the questions in the image it would help

All calls to the hotlines either ended with the recommendation to reset the phone to factory settings or simply claimed that the camera was defective. I reset to factory settings and put up with all the problems with the data backup, but the camera still doesn't work. The last option would be to reset to android 13, but that's a never-ending story and a real pain. Your email is proof that the problem lies in the software and not in the hardware! So I hope to find other victims of this software to put pressure on samsung to fix this bug.

I have just spoken to the hotline and they have now admitted that it is a software error. The technical team is already working on fixing it. I hope to get an update in the next few days. I have left my e-mail address and telephone number.

So together we hope for a quick solution to the problem.

I did a detailed write-up of how I managed to display a low-latency real time feed from my doorbell in a picture-in-picture popup on Android TV. I did this using WebRTC Camera and PiPup. Posting here for anyone who gets here through search.

I just tested this. The two methods of embedding the cards produced exactly the same streams for me, in a side-by-side comparison. I also took a look in the source code. You can see on this line that if the integration finds a entity attribute in the card, it calls its utils.get_stream_source() method, which calls the HA camera.stream_source() method to retrieve the underlying RTSP stream of the camera entity.

I would have loved for you to be right!

Permissions updates in Android 11 Android Developers

Android 11 makes several changes to how apps are granted the SYSTEM_ALERT_WINDOW permission. The changes are intended to protect users by making the permission grant more intentional.

Over the years ive put some phones in the drawer, and before i throw they away i waa wondering if anyone had used them as security cameras and have an idea how to start autorecording by time or movement?

The camera roll on your device only backups to Microsoft OneDrive - it does not sync photos both ways. That means you can delete backed up photos and videos from your device, and the copies in OneDrive won't be affected.
