Great! Thanks a lot, I'll look for the live updates soon!

Hi Max,

Please refer to the following javadoc description of CaptureRequest#JPEG_ORIENTATION.

Camera devices may either encode this value into the JPEG EXIF header, or rotate the image data to match this orientation. When the image data is rotated, the thumbnail data will also be rotated.

Camera2 leaves the flexibility to the device. Most devices only apply the target orientation to the JPEG EXIF header. Some devices I know that directly rotate the image data are Nexus 5, Nokia 1 and Moto E5 Play.

Hi Scott. Yes, that's the main benefit.

Hi Max,

A new getResolutionInfo API has been exposed from CameraX by aosp/1727613. You can use it to obtain the more precise resolution and crop rectangle information which should match the captured image dimensions after applying the rotation degrees. It means the following values will be the same:

1. The resolution obtained from ResolutionInfo#getCropRect() after applying the value obtained from ResolutionInfo#getRotationDegrees().
2. The saved image's dimensions after applying the Exif orientation value

On most devices, HAL doesn't directly rotate the image buffer to the target rotation orientation. But on few devices, the captured image might still have been rotated to the target rotation orientation by HAL. Therefore, in the case of your application, you might still need to double check the dimensions of the captured image and correct the database record.

Thanks for adding the API so quickly, Charcoal!
