Android: Acessing front facing camera for Android 2.3

Question

There really seems to be no information on how to acess the front facing camera on android phones (gingerbread).

Could someone please point me to a page or post that explains how it's done?

Thanks!

And oh yeah someone with higher rep should really add a front facing tag since I probably wont be the only one asking about this in the months to come ;) — DecodeGnome, Feb 16 '11 at 12:41

Here is an example on how to access different cameras and switch between them: CameraPreview

The link is not accessible right now, Google has moved the Sample Project.

Please import a Sample Project and find it at:

ApiDemos/com.example.android.apis.graphics/CameraPreview.java
