A single stand-alone Android app from Google that catalogs small, self-contained samples demonstrating the Camera2 and CameraX APIs using Jetpack Compose. Each sample focuses on one camera feature (photo, video, HDR, QR scanning, RAW/DNG, extensions) built on a shared scaffolding layer.
Use cases
- learn how to capture photos with CameraX on Android
- record video and implement pause/resume in an Android app
- build a real-time QR code scanner with the camera
- capture RAW/DNG images and process them in-app
- implement 10-bit HDR video recording on Android
- run concurrent front and back camera previews
- apply camera extensions like Night, Bokeh, and HDR
When to choose
- you are learning or teaching Android camera APIs with modern Kotlin and Compose
- you need reference implementations for a specific camera feature like slow motion or Ultra HDR
- you want best-practice patterns for CameraX and Camera2 in one runnable app
When to avoid
- you need a production-ready camera library rather than sample code
- you target platforms other than Android
- you need a permissively licensed codebase to copy directly, since no license is specified
