Barcode scanner apps and inversion

This is pretty weird but any barcode scanner I use on the 5x inverts the camera. Meaning if I move left, it moves right. My regular camera works fine. Has occurred on shopsavvy and barcode scanner. Anyone else?
The same thing is happening with my banking app when I try to deposit a check

I don't know about barcode scanners but I tried using A Better Camera as my camera app and it also inverts everything, photos and videos are saved upside-down (rotated 180 degrees).
Appears to be the apps' implementation of the Camera 1 API, not considering its installed orientation. I don't imagine Google will fix this themselves, and instead rely on the app devs to update their code.
It would have been a lot easier if they just installed the camera in the same orientation that everyone else does :|

Fingerprint sensor API

Hello,
I'm thinking about writing an app for our Honor 7 which uses fingerprint sensor. Do you know if there is API for fingerprint sensor available?
Android 6.0 API for Fingerprint Authentication
Fingerprint Authentication
This release offers new APIs to let you authenticate users by using their fingerprint scans on supported devices, Use these APIs in conjunction with the Android Keystore system.
http://developer.android.com/about/versions/marshmallow/android-6.0.html
Thanks, this would be ok, but this one is only for Authentication and I was rather thinking about functionalities like 'swipe-down' , or 'tap'. Do you think Huawei (or Honor) released API for actions like this?

Geotagging pictures

Hi,
I've been trying a few camera apps. I'm using the A2 camera module (magisk), GCam_mod (R5Plus_fix_crash), CameraMX app, CameraZoomFX app and OpenCamera app (from FDroid). And I could only use the geotagging feature with the Open Camera app. The other 4 apps didn't geotag any photo. I must say I have google services disabled, I don't know if they heavily rely on them. All other location apps work just fine.
I tried leaving the app open for quite a while. Tried shooting with split screen (not the first two) with an app that uses location (satstat or maps) after it fine locates me. No luck. Only OpenCamera is able to use the phone location to tag the photos.
Is anyone else experiencing a similar issue?

Proximity Sensor, Accelerometer, Ambient Light, Compass , Gyroscope

Greetings to all!
The specs for the Mi A2 Lite says a compass, gyroscope, proximity sensor etc are installed/supported on this phone, but I see no such apps installed or any way to activate them.
Could someone explain? I have the global version, with stock Android 1 & no MIUI. Thanks
No need to activate them, just use them, they are already active E.g. compass will be used by Google Maps or Here We Go maps, gyroscope by some kind of games etc. There are some apps in Google Play who can use those sensors too.

Thanks for your reply and advice. I was hoping to be able to open up and use eg. the compass myself, as with other phones I have (including Xiaomi).

You will definitely find a myriad of compass apps in the play store if you search for it.

proximity app

anyone know proximity so that works with more 10...... need it for aftermarket case......tried a few play store apps but none seem to work
This has been discussed before, this new implementation for the prox sensor under the screen is not available for third party apps, or cases, sorry...
