Detect Android Rear Camera
Is there a way to detect that an Android device has a rear camera? I'm struggling to find out how this is possible in C#
My app needs to know if there is a rear camera and act accordingly. The presence of a front camera is irrelevant but I do need to know if a rear camera is available
Thanks
Try this:
WebCamDevice[] devices = WebCamTexture.devices;
WebCamDevice rearCamera;
foreach (WebCamDevice cam in devices){
if(!cam.isFrontFacing){
rearCamera = cam;
break;
}
}
bool hasARearCamera = (rearCamera != null);
This looks better thanks, I'm just trying to get Android Studio to load the app on my device and Ill post back the results thnaks
Hi, thanks for such a speedy response!
I'm a bit confused with this code as I understand it to be seeing if there is a front camera and if there is one sets a variable to access it?
Is that correct? This is not actually what I am trying to achieve.
I need to know if the device has a rear camera not the front. My app needs a rear camera to be present and cannot make use of the front camera
Thanks
but maybe a modification of your code like so...might do it...
WebCamDevice[] devices = WebCamTexture.devices;
bool hasRearCamera = false;
foreach (WebCamDevice cam in devices){
if(!cam.isFrontFacing){
hasRearCamera = true;
break;
}
}
Sorry, I edited the answer. I hope it is correct now.
no it says !cam.isFrontFacing. That "!" means not. So it says if the camera is not the front, then it's the back and saves it.
