I need a small Android app that can recognise an external webcam as soon as it is plugged in, show a live preview and let me do two things on-screen: start/stop a video recording or tap once to take a still photo. Standard-definition quality is fine for both functions, and everything should be saved locally on the phone/tablet (internal memory or SD card—whichever is easier to implement). A simple, clean UI with two buttons is all I’m after. No user accounts, no cloud sync, no fancy filters—just reliable capture straight from the webcam using Android Studio, the Camera2/UVC libraries, or any approach you prefer that keeps the APK lightweight and stable. If you have a ready-made component or can build this quickly, tell me roughly how long you’ll need and what device models or Android versions you want to target so we can agree on a quick test plan and sign-off.

I read through your project for the UVC device capture tool and it sounds very direct. The main challenge here is usually making sure the Android hardware recognizes the external webcam immediately without driver errors. I have worked with the Camera2 API before and know how to keep an APK lightweight by stripping out any unnecessary cloud or account bloat. I can build this so it just saves files locally to the internal storage and works right out of the box. I will focus on a clean two button setup so you can record or snap photos instantly. I usually aim to target Android 10 and above for the best stability with these external libraries. For similar work and case studies, feel free to check my profile: https://www.freelancer.com/u/microlent Want a 2-min screen recording of how I would build the UVC plug and play recognition? Just say the word. ~ Rajesh

Hi, I'm Maisam Raza, Senior Android Developer. I can build this USB webcam app for you quickly and reliably. This is straightforward work. I'll use the UVC (USB Video Class) library combined with Android's standard Media Recorder for video and Camera APIs for still photos. The app will auto-detect when a webcam is plugged in via USB, display live preview immediately, and provide two buttons for recording and photo capture. Everything saves locally to the device's internal storage or SD card with standard timestamps. I'll keep the UI minimal and the APK lightweight. No frills, just clean functionality that works. The recording will be in H.264 MP4 format at standard definition, and photos will save as JPEG. I can have this built, tested, and ready for you in about 5-7 days. For target compatibility, I'm planning Android 9 and above (covers 99% of active devices) with USB On-The-Go (OTG) support. I'll test on a mix of phone and tablet models to ensure compatibility with common devices. For testing, we can use a simple plan: verify the app detects the webcam instantly when plugged in, test recording for a few minutes to confirm stability, take a few test photos, verify files save correctly, and do a final check on various Android versions if needed. Shouldn't take more than an hour or two to confirm everything works. Let me know if this approach works for you and we can start. Best Regards, Maisam Raza

Hi, You need a lightweight Android app that detects a USB webcam instantly, shows live preview, and allows quick photo capture and video recording with saved files stored locally. I build Android systems that deal with real-time camera streams and hardware-level integrations using Java and Android SDK, with a focus on stability and low-latency media handling. I can implement this using USB Host + UVC camera pipeline with a clean Camera2 or UVCCamera-based setup, ensuring auto-detection on plug-in, smooth preview rendering, and reliable MediaRecorder handling for SD-quality output. UI will stay minimal with only capture and record controls. Development will be structured in steps: device detection, preview layer, capture/record functions, then local storage and device testing for stability. What Android version and specific webcam models should I align with for your testing setup? Best regards
