@masterchop Meybe you want to look into the Camera Scanner app as it's using opencv as well (it's using c++ though):

@masterchop Normally you cannot access the Android camera via v4l devices. If they are there, they are only used internally by the camera blob drivers. You would need to access the camera via an abstraction layer, as we do with our camera services for QML/Qt applications, since it needs to be initialized, activated in the correct way.
