Read excerpt


This skill provides procedural guidance and standard patterns for building
camera applications on Android, with a focus on CameraX, including its
`Camera2Interop` utilities, and Media3 integrations.

## Core workflows

### Handling immutable API patterns

Various Android camera and media APIs, especially CameraX `VideoCapture`, use a
**fluent, immutable builder-like pattern** where methods return a new instance.
Failing to reassign these results in settings, such as audio, being ignored.

**Pattern: Reassignment is required**
