Adding Google Cameraview to a Project

Question

I'm creating android camera app . I tried to use the camera library in my app to avoid writing plenty lines of code . I found google cameraview on Github (https://github.com/google/cameraview/) . I downloaded it as a zip file . But I don't know how to add to my project as a library. I googled it but couldn't find the exact answer .

The contributors/developers of this repo has provided a full project to work as a sample allowing you to understand how the project works.

Firstly, I recommend you to start learning about what is Android module and/or library and how to create and use one.

Then by looking at the project of this repo,Start by looking at project's settings.gradle file, you will find that this project consists of two modules:

• the :library which is obviously the core lib module
• the :demo which is a demo or testing application

Then by looking at the demo/build.gradle you will find this statement:

compile project(':library')

which means that the library module is a dependency for the demo module.

---

In short: you should add the core lib module to your own project and start using it with same steps like what developers did in the docs and/or sample (demo) project.
