camera1-to-camerax

Migrate legacy Android camera code to CameraX by adding CameraX dependencies, removing manual lifecycle and orientation matrix logic, and binding Preview and ImageCapture use cases via ProcessCameraProvider to achieve reliable preview and capture.

Yes, you can use CameraX with Jetpack Compose by adding the correct CameraX artifacts, binding use cases to a lifecycle owner, and wiring the preview pipeline using CameraXViewfinder or PreviewView for consistent behavior across devices.

Camera capture deadlocks often occur when ImageProxy is not closed. Correct capture handling in CameraX uses ImageCapture so rotation is handled via ImageProxy, and emphasizes closing the proxy to avoid capture deadlocks.

Implement tap-to-focus in CameraX by triggering focus and metering using CameraX APIs. This requires using metering point factories to replace manual camera logic for both Views and Jetpack Compose integrations.

The best way to handle Android camera lifecycle management is using modern lifecycle-safe initialization with ProcessCameraProvider.bindToLifecycle tied to a LifecycleOwner, replacing manual camera open and close logic to reduce rotation bugs and handle device differences reliably.
