How to create two camera preview in one Activity?

Question

Anybody know how to create two camera preview in one Activity? One preview SurfaceView for back camera,and the other for front camera.

I want to record video both from front and back camera. It seem that I can only access one camera at once.Hope that function will be added into new Android Framework. — Staven Gong, Jun 27 '13 at 01:32

Most Android devices do not let you access both cameras at once. In fact, the S4 is the only production device that I am aware of that does this.

You can only show one camera at a time due to this.

Here is another thread on the S4's cameras.
