Flutter Camera plugin camera lens change

[urossm]

Enable multi-camera systems on android devices instead of only one standard back camera

Use case

Improved camera applications

Proposal

Please add a feature so you can change what camera lense you can use instead only enabling it to use default back and front lense, ie. if a phone has a multi-camera setup on the back, enable it to choose between the lenses like standard wide, ultrawide, telephoto etc. This is a problem in last couple of years because Camera2 API uses logical cameras so all the back cameras are now one logical back camera and you have to switch between them but that's not possible in current Camera plugin

Let's track Android separately since #80865 was resolved on iOS only.

Hello! Since same issue on iOS #80865 was solved separately - wanna ask - when this issue on android will be fixed? This week, this month, during summer, this year?

We don't have a timeline for this feature, but we do take pull requests (as we did for the iOS part) 🙂

I'm also interested in this feature, working with Xiaomi phones with a macro lens. I started with a client application and I did not know this feature was not implemented. I would like to know if there is an estimate of time to be available?. Thanks!

@avmax @enoearias You can try to use my PR flutter/plugins#6091 for now, but beware of non-existent cameras, as I've wrote here flutter/plugins#6091 (comment)
