barcodescanner library from dm77 using front camera

Question

I'm using the barcodescanner library from dm77 and it works just great.

Now I would like to use the front camera instead of the rear camera.

I can't find a way to do so, has anyone found a way to achieve this?

I made this work with ZXing native libraries, using Camera.open(Camera.CameraInfo.CAMERA_FACING_FRONT), but I now would like to use the other library that uses ZBar instead.

DM77's barcodescanner uses CameraUtils's getCameraInstance() to get the camera, which uses Camera.open(). I would like to change that behavior wihout having to clone and modify the original sources.

Answer 1

Lokks like this is not possible without altering the sources.

I'll use the "raw" ZBar library or clone that dmyy's library.
