Hi all,
My name is Amos and i’m working on an app, currently for iPhone iPad only, that will use the device’s front camera.
I’v searched here and on google and couldn’t find the answer - Does Corona SDK camera API supports front camera ?
If the answer is no, since i find Corona very comfortable and i’d like to use it, will it be supported in the future ?
Thanks and happy weekend,
Amos.

Hi Amos,
You can call the Camera, however the API documents don’t seem to let you specify the front or rear camera.
I believe it will just bring up the rear camera by default, with the normal option to switch the camera around, however I cant confirm.

Yes, Corona supports the front facing camera if it exists on the device. However, you cannot choose which camera (front or back) is selected. When you call the [lua]media.show()[/lua] function, it merely displays the standard camera window on the device as provided by the operating system. That camera window will have a button/switch for changing to the front or rear camera. [import]uid: 32256 topic_id: 29932 reply_id: 120097[/import]
