Android cameras are becoming more and more popular, as they offer a wide range of features and capabilities. Whether you need to take pictures of a recipe or measure something, there’s a good Android camera for you. Here are five ways to use your Android camera to measure things:

  1. Take pictures of a recipe. With the right app, you can take pictures of a recipe as you’re cooking it so that you have an accurate record of what went into the dish. Just make sure that the lighting is good and that your ingredients are evenly distributed in the picture.
  2. Measure something small. If you need to measure something small, like an ingredient in a recipe or the size of a hole in fabric, using your Android camera is the perfect solution. Just point and shoot!
  3. Take pictures of landscapes or architecture. If you’re interested in taking pictures of landscapes or architecture, your Android camera can be very helpful. Just be sure to get good lighting and avoid too much background noise (a common problem with digital cameras).
  4. Take pictures for social media purposes. If you’re using your Android camera for social media purposes, like posting photos on Instagram or Facebook, make sure that the picture quality is good enough for people to see and share easily. You don’t want to end up with blurry photos that no one will want to see!
  5. Record video footage using your Android camera." ..

Android: Measure is a free app from Google that uses your camera and augmented reality to measure any object. It’s really cool.

Sometimes you quickly want to measure something but you don’t have a tapemeasure handy. The idea behind Measure is that you can use your phone instead: just open the app, move your phone around a little, then indicate which points you’d like to measure.

Here’s what that looks like in action:

There’s a lot of elaborate math at work here, and it seemed to work great in our brief tests. Apple made an app with the same name for iPhone a while back, so check that out if you’re an iPhone user.
