camera rendering issue with Nexus 5X and Nexus 6

By ics on Tue, 02/16/2016 - 10:27

Hello everyone,

 

I have an android application which use Vuforia (tested with vuforia 5-0-5 and 5-0-10) with JNI.

 

For most of android device everything works fine but I have some rendering issue with Nexus 5X and Nexus 6.

When testing with a Nexus 5X, the front and back camera rendering are upside down (180degree offset) for both portrait and ladnscape orientation.

When testing with a Nexus 6, the front camera rendering is fine but when using the front camera, the rendering is upside down (same result as Nexus 5X).

 

I've searched on the internet, and it looks like its a known issue (at least for Nexus 5X) and that this issue is due to the sensors and the use of old camera API

I've searched on the internet for a possible workaround but I found nothing so far.

Could you please tell me if a workaround exist for fixing the Nexus 5X/6 issue?

(In my manifest file, both minSdkVersion and targetSdkVersion are set to 16)

 

I really thank you for your help.
