An Android library (with sample apps) that lets non-rooted Android devices access UVC USB web cameras via native code built on libuvc/libusb. It is written primarily in C with JNI bindings and built through the Android NDK/Gradle.

Use cases

  • access a USB webcam from an Android app without root
  • stream video from a UVC camera on Android
  • capture images from an external camera on an Android tablet
  • integrate USB microscope or endoscope camera into Android app
  • preview USB camera feed on Android device

When to choose

  • you need to use a UVC-compliant USB camera on a non-rooted Android device
  • you want native (NDK) camera access with sample code to start from
  • your device's built-in camera API doesn't support external USB cameras

When to avoid

  • you only need the built-in Android camera (use CameraX/Camera2 instead)
  • you need a maintained library with recent updates and official support
  • you want a pure Java/Kotlin solution without NDK build complexity
  • you require a permissively licensed project with a clear license file
