Fotoapparat is a Kotlin library that wraps Android's two camera APIs (Camera and Camera2) behind a single friendly, safe interface. It provides a drop-in CameraView, simple configuration of camera parameters, and easy photo capture with async results.
Use cases
- take photos in an Android app without dealing with Camera2 complexity
- add a camera preview view to an Android layout
- support both old and new Android camera APIs with one codebase
- configure camera parameters like ISO, flash, and lens position
- save captured photos to a file or convert them to bitmaps
- handle device-specific camera quirks and workarounds
When to choose
- you need camera functionality in an Android app and want a simple, safe API
- you want to support both legacy and modern camera APIs without writing two code paths
- you prefer Kotlin-first (but Java-friendly) camera tooling
When to avoid
- you need advanced Camera2/CameraX features like RAW capture or multi-camera streams
- you are building for platforms other than Android
- you need a library with frequent updates - the project is in maintenance mode
