Android module that takes a square photo using the native Android Camera APIs. The new Camera2 APIs from the L release is not used because support has to go back to SDK version 14 for my own requirement.
- Tap to focus
- Two fingers zooming
- Front & Back camera
- Flash mode (Saved when the user exits)
- Supports both portrait & landscape
- Runtime permission is supported for saving/viewing photos
Support from SDK version 14 onwards
