[android-developers] Re: How to check if an Android phone has front and rear facing cameras?

Take a look at the Camera API. What you're trying to do is pretty straightforward.

1. Get amount of cameras available with Camera.getNumberOfCameras()
2. Call Camera.getCameraInfo(idx, cameraInfo) for each available camera. The index number can range from 0 to the amount of cameras - 1

But be aware that these API extensions only exist since API level 9.

Hi

I need to detect if the phone has a front facing camera, and if so, I need to calculate the megapixels. The same thing goes for a rear facing camera.

I know how to get the megapixels of a "Camera" object, but I don't know how to check for the other things.

P.s.: I would also be nice if you know a way to check if the Camera has flash or not, and other cool statistics about the camera
