Is it possible to record a live video stream / feed from phone camera with an animate



I'm new to Android. I'm designing a mobile game that uses the phone camera. One of the key features of my app will be recording a live video feed from the camera with an animated overlay.

Some examples of apps that already do this:

I'm researching which platforms would be best for this task?
  • OpenGL ES

  • LibGDX

  • Unity3D

  • Android Camera2 API

  • Android Camera API

  • CWAC-2 Android Camera API Wrapper


I've read that Android Camera2 API is limited to Lollipop or higher and that Android Camera API is being deprecated. I also asked the author of CWAC-2 and he said that it's not possible with his library.

So, that leaves the top 3 left as candidates. I'm not sure if which of those would be easiest to implement, offer the widest compatibility and have the highest quality results.

What would be the best framework for doing this task?

Thank you!
