CameraView

public final class CameraView
extends FrameLayout

java.lang.Object
   ↳ android.view.View

         ↳ androidx.camera.view.CameraView

This class is deprecated.
Use LifecycleCameraController. See migration guide.

A View that displays a preview of the camera with methods takePicture(Executor, OnImageCapturedCallback), takePicture(ImageCapture.OutputFileOptions, Executor, OnImageSavedCallback), startRecording(File, Executor, OnVideoSavedCallback) and stopRecording().

Because the Camera is a limited resource and consumes a high amount of power, CameraView must be opened/closed. CameraView will handle opening/closing automatically through use of a LifecycleOwner. Use bindToLifecycle(LifecycleOwner) to start the camera.
