Mirror

Welcome to the mirror app for android. A simple mirror using your front camera. Despite it goes stable, it still have some rough edges and feature missing we've accidentally missed, so you're welcomed to fix bugs, translate this app by sending a pull request or ask any question by opening an issue.

Features

• Just a mirrror, no ads, no background tracking (just see the source code if you don't trust me);
• a minimal app, no neccesary effect or information, or settings, since CameraX will choose the correct resolution for you.
• free to use/modify, with GNU GPL covered.

System requirements

• Needs Android 6.0 (Marshmallow) or later to work.
• The latest release have support up to Android 12L(for foldables and large screens, API level 32).

Current Bugs

These are the bugs that you can fix:

• The Full-Screen feature is deprecated in Java (window.setFlags(WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_FULLSCREEN, WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_FULLSCREEN)), a replacement required;
• The first-time setup has no translation with strings.xml whatsoever, due to it will crash when first startup with a translated.

FAQs

Q: Are android tiramisu (13) supported?
A: I haven't tested. It is "for older version of android and will not function appropriately" (specifically, android 12L or earlier). So it still up to you to report compatability issues to us.

Q: Can I use this app with android version below 6.0?

A: Well, you can do that, but CameraX still only supports android 5.0 (Lolipop) or later to work. So if you have a android 5.0 device, you can do that by modifying the build.gradle under /app directory and change minSdk from 23 to 21.

Q: Can I modify it for my own use cases?
A: Sure, you can! GPL only came effective when you release it to the public, so it's fine to modify it yourself and not to release it (that's how google used GPL programs in its search service).

Features working on progress

• Use a first time setup "activity" when the app is first launched.
