To use the flashlight mode, you manipulate your device to turn on the flashlight, which then stays on persistently.
When you use the flashlight mode with a camera application, the following situations may occur:
When the rear camera is used and Camera_FlashMode is set to off, the flashlight cannot be turned on.
When the front camera is used, the flashlight can be turned on and remains steady on.
When you switch from the front camera to the rear camera, the flashlight will be automatically turned off if it was turned on previously.
For detailed API descriptions, refer to OH_Camera.
Import the NDK.
// Include the NDK header files. #include "hilog/log.h" #include "ohcamera/camera.h" #include "ohcamera/camera_input.h" #include "ohcamera/capture_session.h" #include "ohcamera/camera_manager.h"
Link the dynamic library in the CMake script.

} During camera application development, you can listen for changes of the flashlight status, including on, off, unavailable, and available, by using the callback function.
Register the torchStatus event. The callback returns the listening result and carries the Camera_TorchStatusInfo parameter. For details about the parameter, see Camera_TorchStatusInfo.
void TorchStatusCallback(Camera_Manager *cameraManager, Camera_TorchStatusInfo* torchStatus)
{
OH_LOG_INFO(LOG_APP, "TorchStatusCallback is called.");
}
Camera_ErrorCode RegisterTorchStatusCallback(Camera_Manager *cameraManager)
{
Camera_ErrorCode ret = OH_CameraManager_RegisterTorchStatusCallback(cameraManager, TorchStatusCallback);
if (ret != CAMERA_OK) {
OH_LOG_ERROR(LOG_APP, "OH_CameraManager_RegisterTorchStatusCallback failed.");
}
return ret;
