CameraSelector

public static final @NonNull CameraSelector DEFAULT_BACK_CAMERA

A static CameraSelector that selects the default back facing camera.

public static final @NonNull CameraSelector DEFAULT_FRONT_CAMERA

A static CameraSelector that selects the default front facing camera.

public static final int LENS_FACING_BACK = 1

A camera on the device facing the opposite direction as the device's screen.

@ExperimentalLensFacing
public static final int LENS_FACING_EXTERNAL = 2

An external camera that has no fixed facing relative to the device's screen.

The behavior of an external camera highly depends on the manufacturer. Currently it's treated similar to a front facing camera with little verification. So it's considered experimental and should be used with caution.

public static final int LENS_FACING_FRONT = 0

A camera on the device facing the same direction as the device's screen.

public static final int LENS_FACING_UNKNOWN = -1

A camera on the devices that its lens facing is resolved.

public @NonNull List<CameraInfo> filter(@NonNull List<CameraInfo> cameraInfos)

Filters the input CameraInfos using the CameraFilters assigned to the selector.

If the CameraFilters assigned to this selector produce a camera info that is not part of the input list, the output list will be empty.

An example use case for using this function is when you want to get all CameraInfos for all available back facing cameras.

eg.

          
CameraInfo defaultBackCameraInfo = null;
CameraSelector selector = new CameraSelector.Builder()
     .requireLensFacing(LENS_FACING_BACK).build();
List<CameraInfo> cameraInfos = selector.filter(cameraProvider.getAvailableCameraInfos());
        

public @Nullable String getPhysicalCameraId()

Returns the physical camera id.

If physical camera id is not set via setPhysicalCameraId, it will return null.
