This extension provides access to camera functionality in MIT App Inventor 2 using the Camera2 API. With this extension, you can open the camera, start a camera preview, and stop the preview.
I'll probably update this some day, but it's not in my timeline.
Feel free to fork/contribute it and improve it as you want.
- Open and close the camera using the Camera2 API.
- Start and stop the camera preview.
- Display the camera feed on a
TextureView. 🖥️ - Handle different screen orientations and transform the preview accordingly.
- Requires camera permission to work. 🔐
- Compile the extension into .aix by using Niotron Extension Builder or similar.
- Add the .aix to your AI2 app (also works on other AI2-based IDEs)
