Simple Camera Access app



App entitled "Simple Camera Access" -- ability to take photos and capture video using the native camera app. Here, camera access is performed using Intents. App stores captured photos to a folder /FYPAlbum with the prefix FYPAPP_IMG_ and timestamp.

However, since this uses the native camera app, the camera defaults to whichever camera (i.e. front/back) was in use the last time the camera app was opened. The internet suggests there is no way reliably to force to either front or back camera when using Intents. This will be rectified in next version by controlling camera directly rather than using Intents.
