    If you launch a third-party camera app, the user and that app choose what camera to use, not you. If you need control over this, implement the camera code yourself in your own app. – CommonsWare Dec 12 '14 at 20:05
  • I am implementing my own app only, just I am learning how to open front camera on button click, as I am new to Android development – SHIVA Dec 12 '14 at 20:14

There you go :) working on 5X (7.0), MI3 (6.0), S3 Neo (4.4)

Intent launchIntent = new Intent(MediaStore.INTENT_ACTION_STILL_IMAGE_CAMERA);
                            launchIntent.addFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK);
                            launchIntent.putExtra("android.intent.extras.CAMERA_FACING", android.hardware.Camera.CameraInfo.CAMERA_FACING_FRONT);
                            launchIntent.putExtra("android.intent.extras.LENS_FACING_FRONT", 1);
                            launchIntent.putExtra("android.intent.extra.USE_FRONT_CAMERA", true);
startActivity(launchIntent);
