What

  • Bind Android Preview and ImageCapture in a shared UseCaseGroup with a ViewPort that matches the preview aspect and scale type.
  • Bound ImageCapture resolution to preview dimensions (capped at 1920px long edge) instead of HIGHEST_AVAILABLE_STRATEGY.
  • Skip the software cropBitmapToMatchPreview path when ViewPort cropping is active.
  • Add a zero-decode fast path when ViewPort is active and no mirror, overlay, or resize transforms are requested (quality >= 95).

Fixes #416

Why

On Android, capture() was taking ~0.8-1.2s per photo because every shot decoded a full-resolution JPEG (~9 MP), cropped it in software to match the preview, and re-encoded. iOS reaches the same WYSIWYG result much faster. The root cause was binding preview and imageCapture without a shared ViewPort, forcing post-capture software crop.

How

Before: preview + imageCapture were bound separately with HIGHEST_AVAILABLE_STRATEGY. On capture, onImageSaved always ran BitmapFactory.decodeByteArray -> EXIF rotate -> cropBitmapToMatchPreview -> Bitmap.compress.

After:

  1. buildViewPort() uses PreviewView.getViewPort(rotation) when layout is ready, or falls back to session/container dimensions.
  2. bindConfiguredUseCases() binds preview + imageCapture (+ videoCapture when enabled) in a UseCaseGroup with that ViewPort so CameraX crops in the pipeline.
  3. buildImageCaptureResolutionSelector() targets preview pixel dimensions capped at 1920px (same pattern as barcode analysis bounded resolution).
  4. capturePhoto() skips software preview crop when viewportCropEnabled is true. When no transforms are needed and quality >= 95, bytes are returned without decode/re-encode.

Remaining software path: Still used when callers pass width/height, enable timestamp/location overlays, mirror the front camera, or request quality < 95 (default 85). In those cases decode + re-encode still runs, but on a smaller ViewPort-cropped frame instead of a full 9 MP sensor buffer.

Testing

  • bun run build passes
  • bun run fmt passes (ESLint + Prettier on Java)
  • Android Gradle verify not run locally (no Android SDK in cloud agent environment); CI will validate

Not Tested

  • On-device capture timing comparison (Pixel/Samsung) before vs after
  • Video mode + ViewPort binding on physical devices
  • Barcode scanner coexistence with ViewPort-bound preview/imageCapture
  • Edge cases where ViewPort is unavailable at first bind (layout not ready) and deferred rebind fires

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes

    • Improved alignment between the camera preview and captured photos, including when the preview layout becomes available after the camera starts.
    • With viewport cropping enabled, captures without specified dimensions retain the original image rather than receiving an additional software crop.
    • Resizing photos no longer enlarges them beyond their original dimensions.
    • Camera settings, including exposure, white balance, and torch, are preserved when the camera reconnects.
  • New Features

    • High-quality captures can skip extra image processing when no resizing or other image adjustments are requested.
    • Photo capture resolution adapts to the preview size, up to 1920 × 1080.

Bind preview and imageCapture in a UseCaseGroup with a shared ViewPort
so ImageCapture emits frames already cropped to the preview FOV. This
avoids the expensive per-capture software decode/crop/re-encode path
that made Android capture ~6-10x slower than iOS.

Also bound ImageCapture resolution to preview dimensions (capped at 1920px)
instead of HIGHEST_AVAILABLE_STRATEGY, reducing decode cost when the
software path is still needed (quality, mirror, overlays, resize).

Fixes #416

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

Android camera binding uses a shared viewport for preview and image capture when available. Separate resolution selectors configure preview and image capture. Capture processing can skip software cropping or JPEG re-encoding under specified conditions. Rebinding also restores camera-control state.

Changes

Android capture flow

Layer / File(s) Summary
Viewport binding and resolution selection
android/src/main/java/app/capgo/capacitor/camera/preview/CameraXView.java
Separate selectors configure preview and image capture. CameraX binds them in a UseCaseGroup when a viewport is available, then binds video separately. Fallback paths handle video-binding failure or an unavailable viewport. Barcode analysis binds separately.
Viewport rebind and camera-control state
android/src/main/java/app/capgo/capacitor/camera/preview/CameraXView.java
Preview dimension changes trigger rebinds unless capture or recording is active; deferred rebinds are retried when those operations finish. Rebinding restores exposure compensation, exposure and white-balance modes, and requested torch state.
Capture processing and deferred rebinds
android/src/main/java/app/capgo/capacitor/camera/preview/CameraXView.java
Capture can return the original JPEG when viewport cropping is current and the quality, EXIF, and software-transform conditions are met. Other applicable captures skip software preview cropping. Resize targets do not exceed source dimensions.

Priority: ➖ Normal

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~30 minutes

Change: Bug fix · Severity of issue fixed: Medium

Suggested reviewers: torichancapgo

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 47eac

A resize can interrupt a photo, and some captures may be larger or lower quality than requested. Startup may also bind twice, and the reported torch mode can be inaccurate. Resolve the photo race and capture-contract issues before merging.

Security Architecture Review

Security architecture risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 47eac

A photo may be processed using viewport state that changed after capture began, potentially including pixels outside the preview. The exposure is limited to the device’s existing camera-capture flow, and the outcome under an in-flight rebind has not been confirmed.

Retained concerns

  • Medium · security · inferred: A queued viewport rebind can change the state consulted when a photo completes. If the earlier capture still succeeds, the new crop-skipping path may return pixels outside the preview expected for that photo.
Security review details

Security Blast Radius

  • inferred — The plausible additional exposure is pixels outside the preview in an otherwise authorized Android photo result. The reviewed flow shows no new recipient or broader camera authority.

Security Findings and Attack Paths

  • inferred — A resize-triggered rebind queued before capture can run during capture; a successful old-binding JPEG could then be evaluated against new viewport state and skip the formerly unconditional crop. Completion of such an in-flight JPEG has not been established.

Trust Boundaries and Controls

  • observed — Rebinds detected after capture becomes active are deferred, and explicit fallback paths disable viewport cropping. These controls do not correlate a completed JPEG with its producing binding.

Resilience and Maintainability Implications

  • inferred — Viewport dimensions are recorded before binding succeeds. A generic bind failure does not demonstrably commit a valid new crop state, leaving the meaning of stored viewport state uncertain on that recovery path; no successful photo after such a failure was established.

Hardening Proposals

  • proposed — Associate each capture with its successful binding generation, and permit crop bypass only when that capture’s own viewport is known to match. Commit viewport-valid state after successful binding and clear it on all failed-bind paths.

🚀 Performance & Scalability | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win

Use a lower-first fallback for the capture-size target.

When the target size is unavailable, FALLBACK_RULE_CLOSEST_HIGHER_THEN_LOWER prefers a larger image. A camera with 1600×1200 and 4000×3000 outputs but no suitable target-size output can select 4000×3000. The calculated 1920-pixel target therefore does not cap capture resolution, and large-image capture costs can remain. Prefer a lower-first fallback. If the cap must be strict, filter supported sizes and handle devices with no size below it. (developer.android.com)

Defer layout-triggered rebinds while video recording is active.

If PreviewView changes size during a video recording, this branch calls bindCameraUseCases() because it checks only isCapturingPhoto. That method calls cameraProvider.unbindAll(). The non-persistent recording then stops before the user requests it. Keep the rebind pending while currentRecording != null, and process it after recording finalizes. (developer.android.com)

@TorichanCapgo, I’ll trigger a review of PR #418. You report that HEAD 5f8ec6a addresses the four CodeRabbit threads. I have not independently verified the fixes or thread status.

⚠️ Action not completed

Already reviewed the last commit. Use @coderabbitai full review to rerun a review of the entire changeset.

Note: CodeRabbit is an incremental review system and does not re-review already reviewed commits. This command is applicable only when automatic reviews are paused.

When separate VideoCapture binding fails after the ViewPort UseCaseGroup
bind succeeds, unbind all use cases and retry with preview, imageCapture,
and videoCapture bound together without ViewPort. Reset viewport crop state
so capture falls back to the software crop path instead of failing startup.

Addresses CodeRabbit review on #418.

HEAD 3cac113 clears pendingViewportRebind after the combined video-bind fallback succeeds (the CR finding on 8c90303). Prior threads remain resolved. Please re-review current HEAD.

Guard layout-driven bindCameraUseCases() the same way as photo capture:
keep pendingViewportRebind set and run maybePerformPendingViewportRebind()
after recording finalizes so unbindAll() does not break in-progress video.

In `@android/src/main/java/app/capgo/capacitor/camera/preview/CameraXView.java`:
- Around line 1679-1695: Update resolveImageCaptureTargetResolution() to return
DEFAULT_MAX_CAPTURE_RESOLUTION directly instead of deriving the capture target
from PreviewView dimensions. Keep the target as a preferred resolution bound,
leaving applySessionAspectRatioStrategy() and the existing fallback behavior
unchanged.
- Around line 814-825: Update the viewport rebind path around
shouldDeferViewportRebind and bindCameraUseCases to preserve the requested torch
state and current exposure compensation index before unbinding, then restore
both only after a successful viewport bind. Track torch intent independently of
nullable camera state, and clear the one-shot saved state if binding fails so it
cannot affect a later bind.

Addressed both open review items on 47eac5a:

  1. Image capture resolution — buildImageCaptureResolutionSelector() now uses a fixed high sensor-frame target derived from DEFAULT_MAX_CAPTURE_RESOLUTION (1920×1080), not PreviewView layout size. Session aspect ratio strategy is unchanged.

  2. Torch / EV on viewport rebind — Added torchRequested, save exposure compensation index before unbindAll(), and restoreCameraControlStateAfterRebind() to clamp-restore EV and re-enable torch after a successful bind (skipped if bind throws).

HEAD is now 47eac5a (decouple capture resolution from preview; restore torch/EV on viewport rebind). Prior sticky CHANGES_REQUESTED was on b4aa4f8, not this HEAD. 0 unresolved threads. Please re-review exact HEAD.

- Around line 815-826: Update the viewport rebind paths in the layout listener,
maybePerformPendingViewportRebind(), and scheduleViewportRebindWhenLayoutReady()
so the capture-state check and start of binding are coordinated under
captureLock inside the posted bind runnable. Update capturePhoto() to use the
same lock and prevent a capture from starting while a rebind is in flight,
ensuring imageCapture is not unbound during capture.
- Around line 1816-1821: Update the initial bind flow in setupCamera so it waits
for PreviewView to have positive dimensions before building the viewport or
binding use cases. Mark the bind pending and use
scheduleViewportRebindWhenLayoutReady, allowing the layout listener to trigger
it while isRunning is false; remove the listener only when the pending bind is
cleared, the preview is unavailable, the session is stopping, or the lifecycle
is destroyed.
- Around line 4202-4204: In CameraXView, remove the torchRequested early return
from the flash-mode reporting path and rely on the existing TorchState.ON check
to report "torch" only when the current camera’s torch is actually on. Keep
torchRequested available for rebind restoration.

Follow-up on 6894843 for the new review pass:

  • Capture vs rebind race — viewportRebindInFlight under captureLock before unbindAll(); capturePhoto() rejects while rebind is in flight; guard cleared in finally with maybePerformPendingViewportRebind().
  • Initial bind before layout — defer first bind via pendingViewportRebind + scheduleViewportRebindWhenLayoutReady() when PreviewView has no size and !isRunning; layout listener no longer requires isRunning.
  • getFlashMode — removed torchRequested early return; torch reporting uses TorchState.ON only (torchRequested kept for post-rebind restore).
