Way around android 11

[MuhannadYT]

Hello, u can make the app fake using the camera. So other apps will say that the camera is in use, basically blocking access to the camera

Interesting idea. But wouldn't that use a lot of battery?

You make it set the res to the lowest possible. Also that is the only way around that I can think of tbh

Hi, I made an entire GitHub account just to ask if you're familiar with the "Sensors Off" developer options feature in Android 11? It disables the camera. (But also unfortunately the rotation and microphone sensors, proximity seems unnafected for me.)

Hi, yep I'm familiar with it. Just learned about it yesterday, actually 🙂. It is a potential solution, but I'm not sure if I can integrate it in the app and programmatically turn it off and on. But it even has a quick settings tile so I think it could easily replace the need for a 3rd party app like lens cap. Rumor has it Android 12 will split this into camera and microphone, which will be nice.

你好，请问现在有解决方法吗？如果在不考虑耗电的情况下，该怎么实现呢？

Android 11 added an option allowing you to disable it. It's in developer settings
