## What it is
An archived Android sample app demonstrating basic use of the Camera2 API in Java. It has been migrated to the android/camera-samples repository, which now hosts a catalog of Camera2 and CameraX samples.

## Use cases
- learn how to use the Android Camera2 API
- sample code for capturing photos with Camera2
- android camera preview example in Java
- getting started with camera development on Android
- reference for Camera2 API best practices

## When to choose
- you want a minimal, focused example of the Camera2 API in Java
- you are learning Android camera fundamentals and want simple sample code

## When to avoid
- you need up-to-date code or new features - the repo is archived and migrated
- you prefer Kotlin or CameraX - use the android/camera-samples catalog instead
- you need a production-ready camera library rather than a teaching sample

## Facets

- maturity: abandoned
- function: image-processing, developer-tools
- domain: mobile-development, android-tools, tutorials
