I have been trying to use the ML Kit Vision Quickstart Sample App to develop a blink detection app. For this, I have been using the Face Detector module with the CameraX library. On installing the sample app on my Android phone, I found that rotating the device with Screen Rotation locked makes the app unable to detect faces, as expected. I want to know how I should modify the code to override the Screen Rotation lock on the device, so that the app automatically rotates its orientation to detect faces.
To override the screen lock you may add the next tag to your target activity in the manifest:
android:screenOrientation="sensor"
Although this will only allow to rotate the activity regardless the screen lock. You still need to handle the orientation changes for the camera code. What I mean is that your camera lens is a fixed device and it doesn't rotate, therefore you need to handle image rotation by code.
