Unable to use front camera

[seth35us]

First thanks for such a great plugin.

I am trying to figure out how to get the front camera to work. I tried setting the CameraPosition.front, but it doesn't seem to work. I have included the relevant code below. Any ideas how to fix this?

`return BarcodeCamera(
types: barcodeTypes,

  resolution: Resolution.hd720,
  framerate: Framerate.fps30,
  position: CameraPosition.front,

...
);`

I have the same problem here.

Hi, great to hear that you like it!

You cannot use the front camera on Android, because I didn't implement it, yet. On iOS it should work.

I am not an Android developer, so it is always quite a bit of research required to develop the plugin further. I will look into it, with CameraX it might me easier that with Camera2.

I pushed a new version (1.1.1) which should fix this.

Please confirm, so I can close this issue.

Your change works great! Thank you very much. Only issue is that the CameraController.instance.changeCamera(cameraPosition) did not work. I was able to work around it with a ValueNotifier.

Oh well that method is not implemented yet on the native side
