How to Get CameraPreview by AndroidView in Jetpack Compose

Have you ever wanted to incorporate camera functionality into your Android app using Jetpack Compose? If so, you're in the right place! In this guide, we'll show you how to display a CameraPreview by using AndroidView. This approach is effective for embedding views that are not inherently supported by Compose in a straightforward manner.

The Problem

You may be developing an Android application that requires a camera preview, particularly one that displays the camera feed on a specific user action, like clicking a navigation icon button. The challenge is how to integrate PreviewView, which is part of the CameraX library, into your Jetpack Compose UI. Let's walk through how to accomplish this.

The Solution

To successfully show a camera preview in a composable function, you need to follow these steps:

Step 1: Create the Navigation Icon Button

Start by creating an icon button within your Compose UI that will trigger the camera preview. You can use the Icon composition to render an icon:

Step 2: Implement the CameraPreview Composable

Create a new composable function CameraPreview. This is where you'll request the camera instance and set up the preview view:

Step 3: Display the CameraPreview

When the navigation icon button is clicked, the CameraPreview composable will show the camera feed. You can implement the logic for this button to integrate smoothly with your app's navigation.

Additional Considerations

Permissions: Make sure you have the necessary camera permissions declared in your AndroidManifest.xml file, and handle runtime permissions appropriately.

Lifecycle Management: Utilize the LifecycleOwner to manage the camera's lifecycle effectively. This prevents issues such as memory leaks or crashes if the activity or fragment is paused or stopped.

Error Handling: Implement error handling for scenarios where the camera is unavailable or access is denied.

Conclusion

Integrating a CameraPreview into your Jetpack Compose application using AndroidView is seamless if you follow these straightforward steps. The use of PreviewView from CameraX provides a great way to display real-time camera feed on your app interface.

Now go ahead and add this functionality to your app and explore the possibilities of camera features with Jetpack Compose! If you have any questions or need further examples, feel free to leave a comment below!
