Enable flashlight and allow camera zoom in CallActivity/CallControlsFragment

[erlingfjelstad]

I'm building my use-case on the KitchenSink app and I have a requirement to enable flashlight and zooming the camera.

If this was supported, it would be available through the Call interface, is this correct? From my understanding, the code which access the Camera instance is hidden in the androidsdk.aar compiled code, so there is no way to access the camera instance from the app.

I could contribute to KitchenSink and the SDK if I could get some guidance.

@erlingfjelstad as a first step, can you please clarify if you are talking about the 2.8 or 3.0 version of the KitchenSink app? Thank you

[erlingfjelstad]

This is the 3.0 version of the KitchenSink app. Thank you for your reply

@erlingfjelstad Verified it internally and the Camera object is hidden in v3-android. We already got the requirement for enabling zoom feature through SDK and work is in progress. It might be available in future versions maybe 3.3 (please do not take this as a hard commit, implementation version might change). We will be exposing these properties through the Call object once the implementation is done.

Unfortunately external contribution is not possible in v3 SDK at the moment.

About flashlight, it is considered a new feature request, which you can submit here https://ciscocollabcustomer.ideas.aha.io/ . Thank you
