I want to open the front camera of my device for face verification in my app with a title "Smile for the camera".How can I do this, currently I am getting the back camera default, how do I change to front camera and also hide the back camera option.
please help me
Here is my code to open camera
Intent intent = new Intent(MediaStore.ActionImageCapture);
StartActivityForResult(intent, 0);
From what I understand you have to iterate through the available hardware devices that match the identifier of camera.
This SO answer suggests:
Camera.CameraInfo camInfo = new Camera.CameraInfo ();
for (int i = 0; i < Camera.NumberOfCameras; i++) {
Camera.GetCameraInfo (i, camInfo);
if (camInfo.Facing == CameraFacing.Front){
try {
return Camera.Open(i);
} catch (Exception e) {
// log or something
}
}
}
return null;
There's also a question on the xamarin forums regarding this which appeared to give a similar approach, can be found here.
