Zooming and flashlight

[Shweta]

I am looking for zooming and flash light implementation in android with webrtc.

 

I have tried using  CameraManager manager for flash but it gives exception . 

CameraManager camManager = (CameraManager) getSystemService(Context.CAMERA_SERVICE);

String cameraId = null; // Usually back camera is at 0 position.

try {

    cameraId = camManager.getCameraIdList()[0];

    camManager.setTorchMode(cameraId, true);   //Turn ON

    isFlashOn = true;

    btnSwitch.setImageResource(R.drawable.icons_flash_on);

} catch (CameraAccessException e) {

    e.printStackTrace();

}

Exception

CAMERA_IN_USE (4): setTorchMode:1483: Torch for camera "0" is not available due to an existing camera user

For zooming I have tried using camara parameters but it did not work.

if (zoom >= 0 && zoom < maxZoom) {

    zoom++;

    params.setZoom(zoom);

    camera.setParameters(params);

}

From the WebRTC source code, the CameraManager, which is managing the Camera devices once the Video call is started is not exposed with the public interface. 

So for now, you can't do the enable flash or zoom in Android with new Camera Manager instance. However, its possible in iOS since there Webrtc uses AVFoundation library.
