Using these camera devices concurrently by two different * applications is not guaranteed to be supported, however.

For concurrent operation, in chronological order : + * - Applications must first close any open cameras that have sessions configured, using + * {@link CameraDevice#close}. + * - All camera devices intended to be operated concurrently, must be opened using + * {@link #openCamera}, before configuring sessions on any of the camera devices.

+ * *

Each device in a combination, is guaranteed to support stream combinations which may be * obtained by querying {@link #getCameraCharacteristics} for the key * {@link android.hardware.camera2.CameraCharacteristics#SCALER_MANDATORY_CONCURRENT_STREAM_COMBINATIONS}.

* + *

For concurrent operation, if a camera device has a non null zoom ratio range as specified + * by + * {@link android.hardware.camera2.CameraCharacteristics#CONTROL_ZOOM_RATIO_RANGE}, + * its complete zoom ratio range may not apply. Applications can use + * {@link android.hardware.camera2.CaptureRequest#CONTROL_ZOOM_RATIO} >=1 and <= + * {@link android.hardware.camera2.CameraCharacteristics#SCALER_AVAILABLE_MAX_DIGITAL_ZOOM} + * during concurrent operation. + *

The set of combinations may include camera devices that may be in use by other camera API * clients.
