Get the bytes[] from a TotalCaptureResult

Question

I am getting the TotalCaptureResults object from the camera, using the Camera2 API in Android. I am using a preview, not a single image. Is there a way to get bytes[] from TotalCaptureResults?

Thank you.

Short answer: no.

All CaptureResults objects contain only metadata about a frame capture, no actual pixel information. The associated pixel data are sent to wherever you designated as the target Surface in your CaptureRequest.Builder. So you need to check with whatever Surface you set up, such as an ImageReader which will give you access to an Image output from the camera, which will give you access to the bytes[].
