Getting Started with CameraX
summary
CameraX advertises backwards compatible to L and a testing lab across thousands of devices to give consistent behavior; the library claims 70% fewer lines of code and abstracts camera lifecycles so binding use cases to an Activity with about four lines starts and stops the camera. It exposes three use cases: Preview (SurfaceTexture output, center-crop sample, surface swap workaround), ImageAnalysis (ImageProxy, developer handles rotation, fallback 640x480), and ImageCapture (auto AE/AF/AWB, sample app on GitHub; extensions for portrait/night/HDR/beauty target end of 2019).
