How to detect if a picture was taken with the front camera

Question

I am taking a picture using Intents. Is there a way to tell from the image file whether the picture was taken with the front or rear camera?

Answer 1

You can use the ExifInterface class to get data from a picture that is a .jpeg. There is a MODEL attribute that might have the camera's model. I do not know if it can tell you the position of the camera relative to the device.
