@ernestp were you able to get the app connected to modern usb cameras? I got your updated code to compile and run with the latest Android Studio, but my camera, which I got from Amazon, is not detected.

@w3ichen It work with my camera, but I need to restart the app after install and first run. If your camera is working with apk from https://github.com/jiangdongguo/AndroidUSBCamera/tree/master then it should work with this pull request. However issue comes from increasing target SDK version. Try to set target SDK version to 27 as in original repo and check if that is fixes issue for you.

@ernestp thanks. I'm using your branch with target SDK set to 27. It seems to recognize the camera, but it has 2 issues: no videofeed/preview is showing (just blank screen), and when I click the shutter button, I get an error about unable to write to storage. Have you faced this issues before? I'm running this on Samsung Galaxy with Android 14, and tried two usb webcams that I plugged in via a usb-A to usb-C dongle.

Thanks for your help!

@w3ichen I prepared another PR - https://github.com/jiangdongguo/AndroidUSBCamera/pull/736 and will merge both to my fork. And I guess I will go with the next changes in my own repo as original repo don't seems to be active.

@w3ichen Does preview working with APK from original repo? Have you tried new PR?
