Camera API3

Android is transitioning from the original ICamera API, now called Camera API1, to a new API, called API3. We need to investigate the implications of this new API, which is fundamentally different from the old one, and determine implications for Gecko and Gaia.

• Camera version support

There was a transitional Camera API2 available in KitKat, but it has been superseded by API3 in Lollipop. In some cases the documentation may be ambiguous — for example, the figure in the first page linked to above.
