How can I run Android camera application from adb shell?
adb, android, shell
Solution
Alternatively, you can start the camera in 2 other ways
- Image capture mode: `adb shell "am start -a android.media.action.IMAGE_CAPTURE"`
- Video capture mode: `adb shell "am start -a android.media.action.VIDEO_CAPTURE"`
Other information
- To focus: `adb shell "input keyevent KEYCODE_FOCUS"`
- To take a photo or start/stop recording: `adb shell "input keyevent KEYCODE_CAMERA"`
Other notes
f the keycode string e.g KEYCODE_CAMERA, does not work, lookup the constant value from the API description. Example: KEYCODE_CAMERA
KEYCODE_CAMERA: Added in API level 1
Constant Value: 27 (0x0000001b)
