Android Jetpack: Understand the CameraX camera-support library
summary
CameraX provides a use-case API (preview, image analysis, image capture) built on Camera2 and the Camera2 Legacy layer, is backwards compatible to Android L and runs on 90% of devices, and it ships with an automated device test lab that has exercised hundreds of phones and an open‑sourced latency test suite. Early partners report concrete wins: Lens in Google Go adds camera for <30 KB, Camera360 cuts device testing and sees 75% fewer lines of code, and extensions enable HDR/night modes with two lines of code on supported Samsung/Huawei devices.
