CameraKit is an Android library that wraps the Camera 1 and Camera 2 APIs behind a reliable CameraView component for photo and video capture. It handles permissions, preview scaling, focus, zoom, and multiple capture methods to improve stability across Android devices.
Use cases
- add reliable photo and video capture to an Android app
- handle camera permissions and preview scaling automatically
- capture images on devices with slow or unreliable camera APIs
- implement tap-to-focus and pinch-to-zoom in a camera preview
- build a Snapchat-style freeze-frame camera capture
When to choose
- you need consistent camera capture behavior across many Android devices
- you want a drop-in CameraView with built-in focus, zoom, and permission handling
- your app targets older Android camera APIs and needs extra reliability
When to avoid
- you need video capture on the latest beta release, which only supports photos
- you are building for CameraX or Jetpack Compose-first modern Android stacks
- you need a actively developed project with frequent recent updates
