Question

Can I take a picture from the front camera?

My application has an input form for inventory.
If an user sends a data,
the user’s face pic is also sent to the server for authorization / validation.

I will put the app on Samsung Galaxy Tab (Android 2.2).

Is there any way to take a picture from the front camera?

Answer 1

For 2.2

    Camera cam = Camera.open();
    cam.setDisplayOrientation(90);
    cam.setPreviewDisplay(holder);

    Camera.Parameters para = cam.getParameters();
    para.set("camera-id", 2);
    cam.setParameters(p);
