Users expect third-party apps to capture photos and videos with the same high fidelity as their device's native camera, regardless of lighting conditions or hardware tier. Delivering this consistency across the expanding Android ecosystem comes with key architectural considerations. This session demonstrates how to construct robust, professional capture pipelines that maximize device capabilities while remaining reliable across all form factors.
We will explore the latest advancements in CameraX, showing you how to integrate cutting-edge capabilities like Motion Photos and on-device AI enhancements through Google Play services, alongside spatial experiences using the Jetpack XR SDK. We will also look at our CameraX skill, which allows the coding agent of your choice to automatically implement the concepts in this talk, and more!
