if (Ti.Media.camera = Ti.Media.CAMERA_REAR) { Ti.Media.switchCamera(Ti.Media.CAMERA_FRONT);

Answer 1

are you sure the function is supported on android? did you do a clean build before running your app?

I would add this function to make sure that it is recognizing the rear camera

var cameras = Ti.Media.availableCameras;
    for (var c=0;c<cameras.length;c++)
    {
        // if we have a rear camera ... we add switch button
        if (cameras[c]==Ti.Media.CAMERA_REAR)
        {
                      alert(Ti.Media.CAMERA_REAR);
        } else if (cameras[c]==Ti.Media.CAMERA_FRONT ) {
                      alert(Ti.Media.CAMERA_FRONT);
                }
    }
