Building Android camera apps involves verbose Camera2 boilerplate, tricky asynchronous lifecycles, immutable builder APIs that silently drop settings, and hardware diversity across phones, foldables, Wear OS, and XR devices. This Skill provides proven CameraX patterns and migration guides that prevent common pitfalls like blocked capture pipelines and misaligned ML Kit overlays.
Ask your agent to implement a CameraX photo capture feature with preview and tap-to-focus in your Android app.

Replace CameraDevice and CameraCaptureSession callbacks with ProcessCameraProvider and bindToLifecycle. Delete manual HandlerThread management, surface routing, and orientation math, then map ImageReader flows to the ImageCapture and ImageAnalysis use cases.
Use CameraXViewfinder with a SurfaceRequest and CoordinateTransformer to map tap offsets to surface coordinates. Create a metering point with SurfaceOrientedMeteringPointFactory and call cameraControl.startFocusAndMetering with a FocusMeteringAction.
PendingRecording.withAudioEnabled returns a new instance that must be reassigned or chained. Calling it without reassignment silently ignores the setting, so chain it directly after prepareRecording or reassign the variable before calling start.
Yes, use Camera2Interop.Extender to set CaptureRequest keys such as SENSOR_SENSITIVITY, SENSOR_EXPOSURE_TIME, and LENS_FOCUS_DISTANCE on CameraX builders. Set CONTROL_AE_MODE to OFF when manual exposure is active.
The ImageProxy was not closed in the capture or analysis callback. Always call image.close() after processing, otherwise the capture pipeline locks and subsequent photos or analysis frames are blocked.
No, prefer fakes over mocks because interfaces like ImageProxy are complex and brittle to mock. Use FakeCameraConfig from androidx.camera:camera-testing, Google Truth assertions, explicit RunWith annotations, and GrantPermissionRule for Espresso tests.
