Back camera auto-selection

Open mkeblx opened this issue 11 years ago • 2 comments

Some mobile browsers let you choose which camera (front or back) to use but some don't prompt automatically. Either always choose the back camera or have UI for switching between.

How do I get my phone to even ask for permission to use the camera? I'm loading the debug and the example pages on chrome on my moto G 2014 and nothing happens. Thanks a lot!

Same here! Using IceCatMobile (which is actually just Firefox obtained from F-Droid) I get prompted to use the caemra... but the sensors don't work.

If, however, I use Chromium, then the sensors work, but no permission to use the camera ever gets requested, and so the demo doesn't work.

The same happens with WebView browsers such as Lightning.

I think Goggle Paper needs to more explicitly manifest its intention to use the camera to work in all browsers.
