Use front camera with built in camera app - android

In my app, I'm using the built-in camera app to take pictures.
The thing is that this interface has a button to change camera ( to front) and when I take a picture with front picture, it is not working anymore.
So, Is there a way to take picture fromt front camera with built-in camera app.
If it is not posible, is there a way to remove the icon from built in app???
Any suggestion will be appreciated!

How do I enable front and back camera on Android Studio Virtual Device?

I'm using an AVD on Android Studio. The app I'm using performs verification, first taking a photo with the back camera, and then switching to the front camera to take a selfie. But the problem I'm having is that I can't seem to use both cameras. Whichever one I don't assign "webcam0" shows a black screen. To get the front facing camera to work for the selfie, I need to assign "webcam0" and either "emulate" or "virtualscreen" to the back. But then the back camera doesn't work.
How do I get both to work? I really need to be able to take a photo with the front and back camera. Thanks in advance for your help!

Using the camera API you can achieve this.

Take images without closing camera in Android

I want to develop camera functionality for my app where I have to capture 10 images. The camera should not close, rather it should continuously take pictures while I hold the shutter button. I am using intent for opening the camera, but after taking one image the camera is stopping. How can I achieve the desired functionality?
You would need to write your own camera code, using android.hardware.Camera and/or the android.hardware.camera2.* classes. There is no Intent structure that camera app developers are required to support that handles your use case.

Android: taking a picture without calling local Camera app

I am trying to create a app with which you can take secretly a picture. So my goal is to capture a picture when a button is clicked and then save the taken picture in the gallery without calling the local Camera app.
Thank you for your answer in advance...
If you want to conceal the application then I suggest you to look at this link
android - use camera without surfaceview or textureview.
This shows how to conceal surface textures.

capture photo from both front and back camera simultaneously

I would like to develop an Android application which has the technique of capturing a photo from camera(both front and back) at simultaneously.I searched over internet but unfortunately I couldn't find any better solution.
note for example if I capture the photo from back camera,once it captured from back means then it has to start front camera automatically for capture a photo.
You need to approach this problem step by step.
First build functionality to take picture by back camera.
Once you have done that, then build functionality to take picture by front camera (most of the code will be the same, just setting the back/font camera will be different.
Once you have these two options built, separately, then you can combine the two by making it a three-step process: 1) take picture by back camera 2) switch the camera to front 3) take picture by front camera.
Again, as mentioned, taking picture by back and front cameras are not different, it only involves switching the cameras.
Edited after seeing new comment:
If you are using the built-in camera, that is using intents, then this task is not going to be an automatic and immediate thing. I thought you were building custom camera, where you can do all this by code (without intents and built-in camera). But anyways, you can still do it.
So now, the process will be:
Use intent to go to Camera.
Take a picture (which is by default back camera). Do whatever you
want to do with this picture, save, process, etc.
Use another intent to go to Camera again. This time, add an extra to your intent to so the camera defaults to front camera intent.putExtra("android.intent.extras.CAMERA_FACING", 1);
Take picture again.
