Problem

The challenge

Android camera hardware and drivers vary widely, so a simple camera can become unreliable when unsupported controls, recording qualities, or use-case combinations are forced onto every device.

Product direction

The solution

A capability-aware CameraX architecture selectively enables supported features, separates photo and video use cases, saves media through Android MediaStore, and provides clear recovery and diagnostic screens without requiring an account or cloud service.
