Apps Samsung Galaxy S front facing camera.

[harshapaul]

Wanted to know if there are any APIs exposed by Samsung to access and use the front facing camera provided in Galaxy S?

As of Android 2.1, Android only supports a single camera in its SDK.

It is likely that this will be added in a future Android release. So not yet!

I looked in 2.2 but can't find anything yet :-( Maybe google are waiting to see how popular they are becoming

Yes the front face camera of the Galaxy S I9000 is accessible in the following way:

Camera camera = Camera.open();
Camera.Parameters parameters = camera.getParameters();
parameters.set("camera-id", 2);
camera.setParameters(parameters);

This is the normal way a camera is accessed in Android only that you set the parameter 'camera-id' on 2 for the front camera. For the normal camera this is 1.

Hoop this helps a bit
