Camera Development

When to Use

With the APIs provided by the Camera module, you can access and operate camera devices and develop new functions. Common operations include preview, photographing, and video recording. You can also implement flash control, exposure time control, focus mode control, zoom control, and much more.

Before calling camera APIs, be familiar with the following concepts:

Static camera capabilities: A series of parameters used to describe inherent capabilities of a camera, such as orientation and supported resolution.
Physical camera: An independent camera device. The physical camera ID is a string that uniquely identifies a physical camera.
Asynchronous operation: A non-blocking operation that allows other operations to execute before it completes. To prevent the UI thread from being blocked, some Camera calls are asynchronous. Each asynchronous API provides the callback and promise functions.

How to Develop

Available APIs

For details about the APIs, see Camera Management.

Full-Process Scenario

The full process includes applying for permissions, creating an instance, setting parameters, managing sessions, taking photos, recording videos, and releasing resources.

Applying for Permissions

You must apply for the permissions for your application to access the camera device and other functions. The following table lists camera-related permissions.

Permission	Attribute Value
Camera	ohos.permission.CAMERA
Call recording	ohos.permission.MICROPHONE
Storage	ohos.permission.WRITE_MEDIA
Read	ohos.permission.READ_MEDIA
Location	ohos.permission.MEDIA_LOCATION

The code snippet is as follows:

const PERMISSIONS: Array<string> = [
    'ohos.permission.CAMERA',
    'ohos.permission.MICROPHONE',
    'ohos.permission.MEDIA_LOCATION',
    'ohos.permission.READ_MEDIA',
    'ohos.permission.WRITE_MEDIA'
]

function applyPermission() {
        console.info('[permission] get permission');
        globalThis.abilityContext.requestPermissionFromUser(PERMISSIONS)
    }

Creating an Instance

You must create an independent CameraManager instance before performing camera operations. If this operation fails, the camera may be occupied or unusable. If the camera is occupied, wait until it is released. You can call getSupportedCameras() to obtain the list of cameras supported by the current device. The list stores all camera IDs of the current device. Each of these IDs can be used to create an independent CameraManager instance. If the list is empty, no camera is available for the current device and subsequent operations cannot be performed. The camera has preview, shooting, video recording, and metadata output streams. You can use getSupportedOutputCapability() to obtain the output stream capabilities of the camera and configure them in the profile field in CameraOutputCapability. The procedure for creating a CameraManager instance is as follows:

import camera from '@ohos.multimedia.camera'
import image from '@ohos.multimedia.image'
import media from '@ohos.multimedia.media'

// Create a CameraManager instance.
context: any = getContext(this)
let cameraManager = camera.getCameraManager(this.context)
if (!cameraManager) {
    console.error("camera.getCameraManager error")
    return;
} 
// Listen for camera state changes.
cameraManager.on('cameraStatus', (cameraStatusInfo) => {
    console.log(`camera : ${cameraStatusInfo.camera.cameraId}`);
    console.log(`status: ${cameraStatusInfo.status}`);
})

// Obtain the camera list.
let cameraArray = cameraManager.getSupportedCameras();
if (cameraArray.length <= 0) {
    console.error("cameraManager.getSupportedCameras error")
    return;
} 

for (let index = 0; index < cameraArray.length; index++) {
    console.log('cameraId : ' + cameraArray[index].cameraId);                        // Obtain the camera ID.
    console.log('cameraPosition : ' + cameraArray[index].cameraPosition);              // Obtain the camera position.
    console.log('cameraType : ' + cameraArray[index].cameraType);                      // Obtain the camera type.
    console.log('connectionType : ' + cameraArray[index].connectionType);              // Obtain the camera connection type.
}

// Create a camera input stream.
let cameraInput
try {
    cameraInput = cameraManager.createCameraInput(cameraArray[0]);
} catch () {
   console.error('Failed to createCameraInput errorCode = ' + error.code);
}

// Listen for CameraInput errors.
let cameraDevice = cameraArray[0];
cameraInput.on('error', cameraDevice, (error) => {
    console.log(`Camera input error code: ${error.code}`);
})

// Open the camera.
await cameraInput.open();

// Obtain the output stream capabilities supported by the camera.
let cameraOutputCap = cameraManager.getSupportedOutputCapability(cameraArray[0]);
if (!cameraOutputCap) {
    console.error("cameraManager.getSupportedOutputCapability error")
    return;
}
console.info("outputCapability: " + JSON.stringify(cameraOutputCap));

let previewProfilesArray = cameraOutputCap.previewProfiles;
if (!previewProfilesArray) {
    console.error("createOutput previewProfilesArray == null||undefined")
} 

let photoProfilesArray = cameraOutputCap.photoProfiles;
if (!photoProfilesArray) {
    console.error("createOutput photoProfilesArray == null||undefined")
} 

let videoProfilesArray = cameraOutputCap.videoProfiles;
if (!videoProfilesArray) {
    console.error("createOutput videoProfilesArray == null||undefined")
} 

let metadataObjectTypesArray = cameraOutputCap.supportedMetadataObjectTypes;
if (!metadataObjectTypesArray) {
    console.error("createOutput metadataObjectTypesArray == null||undefined")
}

// Create a preview stream. For details about the surfaceId parameter, see the XComponent section. The preview stream is the surface provided by the XComponent.
let previewOutput
try {
    previewOutput = cameraManager.createPreviewOutput(previewProfilesArray[0], surfaceId)
} catch (error) {
    console.error("Failed to create the PreviewOutput instance.")
}

// Listen for PreviewOutput errors.
previewOutput.on('error', (error) => {
    console.log(`Preview output error code: ${error.code}`);
})

// Create an ImageReceiver instance and set photo parameters. Wherein, the resolution must be one of the photographing resolutions supported by the current device, which are obtained by photoProfilesArray.
let imageReceiver = await image.createImageReceiver(1920, 1080, 4, 8)
// Obtain the surface ID for displaying the photos.
let photoSurfaceId = await imageReceiver.getReceivingSurfaceId()
// Create a photographing output stream.
let photoOutput
try {
    photoOutput = cameraManager.createPhotoOutput(photoProfilesArray[0], photoSurfaceId)
} catch (error) {
   console.error('Failed to createPhotoOutput errorCode = ' + error.code);
}

// Define video recording parameters.
let videoConfig = {
    audioSourceType: 1,
    videoSourceType: 1,
    profile: {
        audioBitrate: 48000,
        audioChannels: 2,
        audioCodec: 'audio/mp4v-es',
        audioSampleRate: 48000,
        durationTime: 1000,
        fileFormat: 'mp4',
        videoBitrate: 48000,
        videoCodec: 'video/mp4v-es',
        videoFrameWidth: 640,
        videoFrameHeight: 480,
        videoFrameRate: 30
    },
    url: 'file:///data/media/01.mp4',
    orientationHint: 0,
    maxSize: 100,
    maxDuration: 500,
    rotation: 0
}

// Create a video recording output stream.
let videoRecorder
media.createVideoRecorder().then((recorder) => {
    console.log('createVideoRecorder called')
    videoRecorder = recorder
})
// Set video recording parameters.
videoRecorder.prepare(videoConfig)
// Obtain the surface ID for video recording.
let videoSurfaceId
videoRecorder.getInputSurface().then((id) => {
    console.log('getInputSurface called')
    videoSurfaceId = id
})

// Create a VideoOutput instance.
let videoOutput
try {
    videoOutput = cameraManager.createVideoOutput(videoProfilesArray[0], videoSurfaceId)
} catch (error) {
    console.error('Failed to create the videoOutput instance. errorCode = ' + error.code);
}

// Listen for VideoOutput errors.
videoOutput.on('error', (error) => {
    console.log(`Preview output error code: ${error.code}`);
})

Surfaces must be created in advance for the preview, shooting, and video recording stream. The preview stream is the surface provided by the XComponent, the shooting stream is the surface provided by ImageReceiver, and the video recording stream is the surface provided by VideoRecorder.

XComponent

mXComponentController: XComponentController = new XComponentController                   // Create an XComponentController.

build() {
    Flex() {
        XComponent({                                                                     // Create an XComponent.
            id: '',
            type: 'surface',
            libraryname: '',
            controller: this.mXComponentController
        })
        .onload(() => {                                                                  // Set the onload callback.
            // Set the surface width and height (1920 x 1080). For details about how to set the preview size, see the preview resolutions supported by the current device, which are obtained by previewProfilesArray.
            this.mXComponentController.setXComponentSurfaceSize({surfaceWidth:1920,surfaceHeight:1080})
            // Obtain the surface ID.
            globalThis.surfaceId = mXComponentController.getXComponentSurfaceId()
        })
        .width('1920px')                                                                 // Set the width of the XComponent.
        .height('1080px')                                                                // Set the height of the XComponent.
    }
}

ImageReceiver

function getImageReceiverSurfaceId() {
    let receiver = image.createImageReceiver(640, 480, 4, 8)
    console.log(TAG + 'before ImageReceiver check')
    if (receiver !== undefined) {
      console.log('ImageReceiver is ok')
      surfaceId1 = receiver.getReceivingSurfaceId()
      console.log('ImageReceived id: ' + JSON.stringify(surfaceId1))
    } else {
      console.log('ImageReceiver is not ok')
    }
  }

VideoRecorder

function getVideoRecorderSurface() {
        await getFd('CameraManager.mp4');
        mVideoConfig.url = mFdPath;
        media.createVideoRecorder((err, recorder) => {
            console.info('Entering create video receiver')
            mVideoRecorder = recorder
            console.info('videoRecorder is :' + JSON.stringify(mVideoRecorder))
            console.info('videoRecorder.prepare called.')
            mVideoRecorder.prepare(mVideoConfig, (err) => {
                console.info('videoRecorder.prepare success.')
                mVideoRecorder.getInputSurface((err, id) => {
                    console.info('getInputSurface called')
                    mVideoSurface = id
                    console.info('getInputSurface surfaceId: ' + JSON.stringify(mVideoSurface))
                })
            })
        })
    }
