I'm facing the problem with recording video by new camera2 api. I'm playing with project from https://github.com/googlesamples/android-Camera2Video which demonstrates video recording using new camera2 api. Recording works well but rotation of recorded mp4 video is different because of different devices.
Nexus 9 result video is fine but Nexus 5X not.
I've heard that Nexus 5X has camera rotated upside down. In this case I would set MediaRecorder flags to record properly but...
My question is, how to recognize programmatically whether device has or doesn't have camera rotated upside down?
Thanks for any help!
I've found the solution...
CameraManager manager = (CameraManager) activity.getSystemService(Context.CAMERA_SERVICE);
String cameraId = manager.getCameraIdList()[0];
CameraCharacteristics characteristics = manager.getCameraCharacteristics(cameraId);
int sensorOrientation = characteristics.get(CameraCharacteristics.SENSOR_ORIENTATION);
sensorOrientation value: Default camera orientation used to be 90 degrees. For Nexus 5X it is 270 degrees.
