Hi everybody,
i found very useful new Corona feature that permits to use fill=camera option on objects.
The problem is that it looks like is not possible to choose which camera to use…
I would like to use front-facing camera to shot a photo inside an oval shape embedded in a image (centering user face inside a predefined area).
Does somebody was able to use front camera?
This option will be available also on android (at leas high-end devices) soon or later?
Thanks everybody.
No front camera available…
thanks…
i hope that soon or later it will be supported
I hoped they’d get the android camera fill in the sdk by the last public release - to make the feature cross platform. But it looks like it didn’t happen.
Any word from coronaLabs on Android camera fill?

Any news on the Front Camera? I am really in need of this…

I would also like to know news on this as well. Definitely want Front Facing but really want Android so I can release my Camera App to a wider audience but I think this would work for simply camera om droid.
android =
{
usesPermissions =
{
“android.permission.CAMERA”,
“android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE”,
},
usesFeatures =
{
{ name = “android.hardware.camera”, required = true },
{ name = “android.hardware.camera.front”, required = false },
},
},
Seems like the camera features they rolled out in December are about 60-80% right now.
The front camera for iOS should be out soon.
For android, read these messages that I exchanged with Joshua, he was giving some tips to have it unofficially working (although I was not able to make it work). http://forums.coronalabs.com/topic/47161-android-native-question-button-positing-with-device-scaling/
I just started today dealing with Corona Enterprise and I am trying to make a plugin to make the android camera work. I let you know if I have success.
Yea so tonight I tested it out on my friends Android and the above code in the config.lua didn’t do anything. The camera on his Droid wasn’t responsive. Plain white just like in the sim. works great on iOS. Look forward to that iOS release. But I would like to have same as on Android though.

Omg! We both posted at the same time, at 11:50pm last night and I missed your post! lol. What are the chances?? We should buy a lottery ticket! haha
ok, I am reading up on that link. Thanks.
Camera “fills” are not supported on Android. That feature is *only* supported on iOS. We currently have no plans on adding support to Android. We still consider this feature as experimental/beta.
That said, the Android permissions you are using are applicable to the media API’s camera features.

half a year later the camera fill thing is still considered experimental?
Please corona! If you know it’s broken and incomplete, don’t tell us about it, so we don’t waste our time with it.
No rotation and scaling of camera fill => unusable. Take it out or complete it please
