Accessing AutoFocus/Flash with Google Vision BarCode Reader

Question

I am playing with the original example of BarCode scanner here:

Just optimize your code as following and you have to call this method after building Camera Source class.

private Camera camera = null;
boolean flashmode=false;
private void flashOnButton() {
    camera=getCamera(mCameraSource);
    if (camera != null) {
        try {
            Camera.Parameters param = camera.getParameters();
         param.setFlashMode(!flashmode?Camera.Parameters.FLASH_MODE_TORCH :Camera.Parameters.FLASH_MODE_OFF);
            camera.setParameters(param);
            flashmode = !flashmode;
            if(flashmode){
                showToast("Flash Switched ON");
            }
            else {
                showToast("Flash Switched Off");
            }
        } catch (Exception e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        }

    }
}
private static Camera getCamera(@NonNull CameraSource cameraSource) {
    Field[] declaredFields = CameraSource.class.getDeclaredFields();

    for (Field field : declaredFields) {
        if (field.getType() == Camera.class) {
            field.setAccessible(true);
            try {
                Camera camera = (Camera) field.get(cameraSource);
                if (camera != null) {
                    return camera;
                }
                return null;
            } catch (IllegalAccessException e) {
                e.printStackTrace();
            }
            break;
        }
    }
    return null;
}

This will help you to enable flash in Google Vision Api using camerasource object.
