Open front camera using MediaStore.ACTION_IMAGE_CAPTURE

Question

Hello friends I want to use front camera in my app using

MediaStore.ACTION_IMAGE_CAPTURE

This is the method which I'm using

 public void CaptureImage(int request){
    Intent cameraIntent = new Intent(MediaStore.ACTION_IMAGE_CAPTURE);
    cameraIntent.putExtra("android.intent.extras.CAMERA_FACING", android.hardware.Camera.CameraInfo.CAMERA_FACING_FRONT);
    cameraIntent.putExtra("android.intent.extras.LENS_FACING_FRONT", 1);
    cameraIntent.putExtra("android.intent.extra.USE_FRONT_CAMERA", true);
    startActivityForResult(cameraIntent, request);
}

But it open back camera , what I want is front camera of device.

See the answer https://stackoverflow.com/a/39425003/192373. Unless you use camera API (or a library that wraps camera API), you cannot rely on intent extras. — Alex Cohn, Feb 07 '19 at 15:24
