Camera settings are not passed to emulator

[unickq]

emulator -port 5554 -avd test -no-window -gpu swiftshader_indirect -noaudio -no-boot-anim -no-metrics -camera-front emulated -camera-back virtualscene

creates /home/runner/.android/avd/test.avd/config.ini
with

hw.camera.back = emulated
hw.camera.front = none

        uses: reactivecircus/android-emulator-runner@v2
        with:
          target: ${{ env.android_target }}
          api-level: ${{ env.android_api_level }}
          arch: ${{ env.android_arch }}
          profile: ${{ env.android_profile }}
          force-avd-creation: true
          cores: ${{ env.android_cpu }}
          ram-size: ${{ env.android_ram }}
          heap-size: ${{ env.android_heap }}
          emulator-options: -no-window -gpu swiftshader_indirect -noaudio -no-boot-anim -no-metrics -camera-front emulated -camera-back virtualscene
         

Was anyone able to fix that?

Adding this into script section doesn't help because emulator is already booted

            echo "hw.camera.front=emulated" >> ~/.android/avd/test.avd/config.ini
            echo "hw.camera.back=virtualscene" >> ~/.android/avd/test.avd/config.ini

Maybe it will be spam as its not exactly answering to your question but I managed to inject image into camera. My scenario is that I need to be able to scan QR code, so I simply injected image into the scene:

so action looks like this:

        uses: reactivecircus/android-emulator-runner@v2
        with:
          api-level: ${{ matrix.api-level }}
          arch: ${{ matrix.arch }}
          target: ${{ matrix.target }}
          cores: ${{ matrix.cores }}
          force-avd-creation: true
          disable-animations: true
          emulator-options: >
            -no-snapshot-save
            -gpu swiftshader_indirect
            -noaudio
            -no-boot-anim
            -camera-back virtualscene
            -verbose
          pre-emulator-launch-script: scripts/inject_virtualscene.sh <<<this is important part>>>
          script: >
            [[WHATEVER U WANT TO RUN HERE]]

Script "inject_virtualscene.sh" looks like this

set -e

echo "--- Injecting Virtual Scene ---"

SDK_ROOT="/root/android-sdk-linux"
EMULATOR_RESOURCE_PATH="$SDK_ROOT/emulator/resources"
POSTER_IMAGE_PATH="$GITHUB_WORKSPACE/scripts/qrcode.png"
POSTER_CONFIG_FILE="$EMULATOR_RESOURCE_PATH/Toren1BD.posters"
POSTER_IMAGE_FILE="$EMULATOR_RESOURCE_PATH/my-ci-test-qr.png"

mkdir -p "$EMULATOR_RESOURCE_PATH"

echo "poster custom" > "$POSTER_CONFIG_FILE"
echo "size 1 1" >> "$POSTER_CONFIG_FILE"
echo "position 0 0 -1.5" >> "$POSTER_CONFIG_FILE"
echo "rotation 0 0 0" >> "$POSTER_CONFIG_FILE"
echo "default my-ci-test-qr.png" >> "$POSTER_CONFIG_FILE"

cp "$POSTER_IMAGE_PATH" "$POSTER_IMAGE_FILE"

echo "--- Poster config content:"
cat "$POSTER_CONFIG_FILE"

echo "--- Resource directory listing:"
ls -al "$EMULATOR_RESOURCE_PATH"

And result is this one

Note: As said it could easily happen that this is not your issue, but just in case if it is.
