Get ID of currently open camera
There isn't a way to get the id of the currently open android camera. I ended up storing the id when I opened it.
It is just a number of the camera, so you loop through looking for the camera you want.
Here is a snippet to find the front-facing camera:
int cameraId = -1;
int numberOfCameras = Camera.getNumberOfCameras();
for (int i = 0; i < numberOfCameras; i++) {
CameraInfo info = new CameraInfo();
Camera.getCameraInfo(i, info);
if (info.facing == CameraInfo.CAMERA_FACING_FRONT) {
Log.d(DEBUG_TAG, "Camera found");
cameraId = i;
break;
}
}
