Hello,
Is there way to trick Android to think that USB camera is internal? I mean to make camera apps to work with USB camera. I know that there are dedicated apps that work with USB cameras. But the point is to make standard Android interface to work with USB camera. I guess driver development may be involved. It is OK. Just trying to know if somebody did similar stuff or has some idea how to do this or if this possible even.

Hi,
I'm developing an android application for capturing images from USB camera.For that I want to connect the USB camera to the android tablet (It has an USB port).I tried it to do but couldn't up to now.
So I want to know whether an USB web camera can work with the android 2.2.That mean after connecting the camera to the tablet through its USB ports can we preview through the tablet.
If yes, please route me to correct path.
Thank You.
Hi everyone,
I am trying to connect a Head Mounted Display to my Galaxy SII and am able to connect it using a Micro USB to VGA MHL Adapter. I can look at the screen output ,gallery and other apps but I cannot use the Camera app.
I was wondering if there is ANY possible way (custom Rom,override some kernel file etc ) by which I can use the Camera app while showing the HDMI output ? .I was thinking of using 3rd Party Bluetooth cameras like Looxcie but it seems they dont provide any API . Another option would be to connect and external usb webcam through the adapter,But i am not sure whether I would be able to compile/find the appropriate drivers and whether i could access the camera from the Android SDK.
ANY pointers/tips/suggestions would be really appreciated
Thanks !
Try with 3rd party camera app, like lgCamera.
Bit of a weird one for you all, but here goes.
I want to be able to plug production level cameras into a smartphone or tablet, and have them read as the native camera. Looks like Android is capable of accepting a USB UVC source, since apps like CameraFi exist that allow you to plug a webcam into your phone with an OTG cable for recording. Looking around online, it looks like the Magewell USB Capture SDI device will take a camera and treat it as a USB UVC source, like any webcam.
So the hardware makes sense to me, but the last thing to figure out is how to disable the built-in camera on a phone/tablet, and instead have the OS read the external camera as the main/only one. This way, my hope would be that any apps, such as Periscope or Ustream, would automatically work with the external camera. Anyone have any ideas on how to pull that off? Any Android device brand or model will do if you have recommendations.
Thanks!

We have been discussing this at work lately and are very interested as well . We're thinking of creating a virtual android instance on a PC that has no webcam, using a device like the one you mentioned and seeing if we can trick it that way
Hi for some time, I'm looking for ideas for my solution. I have an android phone that do not currently use and I would use it as a screen for my action cam. Obviously it is already possible through the app and bt or wifi, but this way the battery runs out quickly.
Do you know any cable solution? My action cam (xiaomi yi) has both the USB output that that HDMI.
For Canon exists for the application DSLR Remote, maybe some of you know something for xiaomi.
Thank you all
I'm trying to connect a camera to get the files off it but my phone doesn't allow me so to select anything else but the charging of the connected device option (the camera doesn't even supports USB charging)? How can I fix that?
if you want to see if USB OTG works, you could try a normal USB memory stick before to try the camera
if the stick works, the problem is the camera
Well a mouse works fine..and the camera does work with Android 8 Devices. So no.
