Summary

In this chapter, we started by familiarizing ourselves with CameraX, a key component of the Android Jetpack suite. We learned how to set up CameraX in our applications while enabling features such as live camera preview and image capture.

Moving on, we delved into the practical implementation of capturing images using CameraX. Additionally, we introduced basic image editing functionalities, guiding you through the process of creating a filter and adding a text overlay. These skills are pivotal in enhancing the interactivity and user experience of photography apps.

Finally, we unveiled the integration of Google’s ML Kit, demonstrating how to add advanced ML capabilities to the app. We explored how to use ML Kit to identify elements in images, such as objects. This experience highlighted the practical application of these technologies in enhancing the functionality of photography apps.

At this point, you should have gained valuable insights and practical skills...
