I'm an experienced OpenCV user attempting to get up to speed with OpenCV for Android. I've found multiple references to a class "NativeCameraView", for example:

Difference between NativeCameraView and JavaCameraView in OpenCV

What is the difference between `opencv.android.JavaCameraView` and `opencv.android.NativeCameraView`

http://docs.opencv.org/java/2.4.8/org/opencv/android/NativeCameraView.html

https://github.com/Tinker-S/OpenCVSamples/blob/master/OpenCV%20Library%20-%202.4.3/src/org/opencv/android/NativeCameraView.java

But these are all from at least a few years ago. When I go to:

https://github.com/opencv/opencv

and put "NativeCameraView" in the "This Repository", "Search" box at the top I get no results. If I search for "JavaCameraView" I get 11 results.

Also, if I go to

http://docs.opencv.org/java/3.1.0/

JavaCameraView is listed but NativeCameraView is not.

Was NativeCameraView removed as of OpenCV 3 ?? Is there a change log or similar somewhere that covers the current state of JavaCameraView vs NativeCameraView ?? Please advise.

NativeCameraView was dropped in OpenCV 3, according to the ChangeLog:

The other, a bit sad but inevitable news - we had to drop support for nativecamera on Android. It used some undocumented API and never worked stable.
