Changing Flash setting of Android Camera 2 at runtime

问题:

Basically, what I am trying to do is change the CONTROL_AE_MODE by button click in the app. The user can use AUTO flash(ON_AUTO_FLASH), turn if ON(ON_ALWAYS_FLASH), or OFF(CONTROL_AE_MODE_OFF).

In this example: https://github.com/googlesamples/android-Camera2Basic/blob/master/Application/src/main/java/com/example/android/camera2basic/Camera2BasicFragment.java

Line 818, they set the flash once:

// Use the same AE and AF modes as the preview.             captureBuilder.set(CaptureRequest.CONTROL_AF_MODE,                     CaptureRequest.CONTROL_AF_MODE_CONTINUOUS_PICTURE);             setAutoFlash(captureBuilder);              // Orientation             int rotation = activity.getWindowManager().getDefaultDisplay().getRotation();             captureBuilder.set(CaptureRequest.JPEG_ORIENTATION, ORIENTATIONS.get(rotation));              CameraCaptureSession.CaptureCallback CaptureCallback                     = new CameraCaptureSession.CaptureCallback() {                  @Override                 public void onCaptureCompleted(@NonNull CameraCaptureSession session,                                                @NonNull CaptureRequest request,                                                @NonNull TotalCaptureResult result) {                     showToast("Saved: " + mFile);                     Log.d(TAG, mFile.toString());                     unlockFocus();                 }             };              mCaptureSession.stopRepeating();             mCaptureSession.capture(captureBuilder.build(), CaptureCallback, null); 

And then builds the CaptureSession at line 840.

Is there a way to change the CONTROL_AE_MODE after the preview is made?

I have tried remaking the session, which kinda worked:

if(flashMode == CameraView.CAMERA_FLASH_ON){             Log.e("CAMERA 2", "FLASH ON");             mPreviewCaptureRequestBuilder.set(CaptureRequest.CONTROL_AE_MODE, CaptureRequest.CONTROL_AE_MODE_ON_ALWAYS_FLASH);         }else if(flashMode == CameraView.CAMERA_FLASH_OFF){             Log.e("CAMERA 2", "FLASH OFF");             mPreviewCaptureRequestBuilder.set(CaptureRequest.CONTROL_AE_MODE, CaptureRequest.CONTROL_AE_MODE_OFF);         }else if(flashMode == CameraView.CAMERA_FLASH_AUTO){             Log.e("CAMERA 2", "FLASH AUTO");             mPreviewCaptureRequestBuilder.set(CaptureRequest.CONTROL_AE_MODE, CaptureRequest.CONTROL_AE_MODE_ON_AUTO_FLASH);         }         mFlashMode = flashMode;         if (mCameraCaptureSession != null) {             mCameraCaptureSession.close();             mCameraCaptureSession = null;        }   createCameraPreviewSession(); 

For some reason, CONTROL_AE_MODE_OFF would turn the whole preview black. I tried looking in the docs for methods to update but haven't found anything.

Any tutorials or docs is much appreciated.

I don't know why your preview turn black, but you don't need to close capture session manually. From .close() method's docs:

Using createCaptureSession(List , CameraCaptureSession.StateCallback, Handler) directly without closing is the recommended approach for quickly switching to a new session, since unchanged target outputs can be reused more efficiently.

So you can reuse existing CaptureRequest.Builder, set your changed value, build new PreviewRequest and just start new session with this new request, like this:

try {     // Change some capture settings     mPreviewRequestBuilder.set(CaptureRequest.CONTROL_AE_MODE, CaptureRequest.CONTROL_AE_MODE_ON);     // Build new request (we can't just edit existing one, as it is immutable)     mPreviewRequest = mPreviewRequestBuilder.build();     // Set new repeating request with our changed one     mCaptureSession.setRepeatingRequest(mPreviewRequest, mCaptureCallback, mBackgroundHandler); } catch (CameraAccessException e) {     e.printStackTrace(); } 

It will be much faster (almost without any visible freeze of preview).

回答2:

What you want is disabling flash, not auto-exposure (AE), thus you want to use CONTROL_AE_MODE_ON rather than CONTROL_AE_MODE_OFF.

As mentioned in the documentation:

CONTROL_AE_MODE_ON

The camera device's autoexposure routine is active, with no flash control.
