#27567 — smart phone with two camaras / can I select one?

Hello,

smart phones and other equipment may have several cameras.
Is it possible to select the better camara with javascript?

Thanks in advance.

Jörg

While a bit camera obscura,
because of the subjective nature of "better", 
and your specification of "other equipment",
it can be done:

var better = true; // or !true
var selected = (better) ?"back camera" :"front camera";

However using javascript in a browser probably not.

That's bad. I want to be sure, the camara is always the one for
landscape, not the selfy-cam with low resolution.

Thanks

So you become sure by reading what I say?

Better rely on arguments than on authority.

What about my code, is that satisfactory?

Are "back camera" and "front camera" the names of Android camaras?
Can I use these to get a picture or a video?

Your latest above Q is not related to Javascript so it is off topic. Asking

Your code is a bad joke.  It has to be.

No and no.  You do have googled before you asked, have you not?

Perhaps a joke, it sometimes looks like your level of humor is very low 
if any joke "has to be" a bad one, Pointy.

It looks like the OP didn't, but either way, it is off topic. 

Next thing the OP will ask us advice how to use a boyfriend.

Well, either it was a bad joke, or I must assume that you have either not 
read or not understood the OP.  It was about how to *select* one of the 
cameras of a mobile device as capturing device.

BTW, “Pointy” is not a proper way to address me, Janni-baby.

Gibberish.

Perhaps you say this because you assume that would hurt me,
because it would hurt you?

Well, you may assume what you like, and may think you must,
so be it.

Yes?

Why, and do you decide that?

Janni-baby.

Seems you are getting angry? How interesting.

You are forgiven if you don't understand something.

Which your code does not.  Not even remotely.

See, that is how far *your* sense of humor *really* goes.

You're welcome.

*Please* read <http://www.catb.org/esr/faqs/smart-questions.html> and
try to improve your question accordingly – as it's now, it doesn't make
much sense.
