The other answers
boolean hasFlash = this.getPackageManager().hasSystemFeature(PackageManager.FEATURE_CAMERA_FLASH);
Does not work for the new 2013 Nexus 7. The following code will work:
public boolean hasFlash() {
if (camera == null) {
return false;
}
Camera.Parameters parameters;
try {
parameters = camera.getParameters();
} catch (RuntimeException ignored) {
return false;
}
if (parameters.getFlashMode() == null) {
return false;
}
List<String> supportedFlashModes = parameters.getSupportedFlashModes();
if (supportedFlashModes == null || supportedFlashModes.isEmpty() || supportedFlashModes.size() == 1 && supportedFlashModes.get(0).equals(Camera.Parameters.FLASH_MODE_OFF)) {
return false;
}
return true;
}
getPackageManager().hasSystemFeature(PackageManager.FEATURE_CAMERA_FLASH)
returns true if the device has flash. See this for more details
You should be able to check whether the flash is available by checking system features:
boolean hasFlash = this.getPackageManager()
.hasSystemFeature(PackageManager.FEATURE_CAMERA_FLASH);
(provided you are in an Activity
). If not, than use some sort of context
in place of this
.
P.S. Note that this information is quite easy to find if you actually try searching for it.
