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
