Fix example/with-camera: Camera re-initialization and Layout fix
This PR introduces two key improvements to the camera functionality in with-camera/App.tsx:
-
Camera Re-initialization on Focus:
-
Change: Implemented
useFocusEffectfromexpo-routerto increment acameraKeystate variable whenever the screen gains focus. TheCameraViewcomponent now uses thiscameraKeyas its key prop. -
Purpose: This is an effective solution to ensure the
CameraViewcomponent is re-mounted and re-initialized when the user navigates back to this screen. This addresses potential issues where the camera might not function correctly after being unfocused or backgrounded, providing a more robust user experience. The use of useCallback with useFocusEffect is also good practice for performance.

Change: Implemented
-
CameraViewChildren Limitation Fix:-
Change: The
CameraViewcomponent and its associated shutter controls (View component) are now wrapped within a React Fragment (<></>). -
Purpose: This correctly addresses the limitation that
CameraViewdoes not support children. By making theCameraViewand the controls siblings within a fragment, you can then use absolute positioning for the controls, ensuring they render correctly on top of the camera feed without causing inconsistent behavior or crashes. - Potential Fix
-
Change: The
WARN The <CameraView> component does not support children. This may lead to inconsistent behaviour or crashes. If you want to render content on top of the Camera, consider using absolute positioning.
