Camera2 API - Android

Question

I am trying to use new camera api provided by android as camera2. But

CameraManager manager = (CameraManager) getActivity().getSystemService(Context.CAMERA_SERVICE);

showing error. Does any one have worked on this api.

Have been searching for results for could not find any thing yet.

@Binod Did you get this resolved, or perhaps we can guide you to it now that the SDK has been out for a while now? — Jay Snayder

Binod,

That will only works if your platform support API level 21 - that is the one come after Android L release.

For a detailed explanation of how camera 2 API works, you may want to take a look at this article

You need to make 2 classes for API 21 and lower, in lower use common Camera object, and in API 21+ you can use Camera2 API
