The getHorizontalViewAngle() and getVerticalViewAngle() can at best return fixed hardware-dependent values as set by the phone manufacturer for their own built-in lens. As soon as the user applies an add-on lens (e.g. one of those magnetic detachable fish-eye lenses as recommended for my app) those function values will be wrong. In general there exists no reliable way to calculate the field of view from a camera view without applying a calibration step on the user side.
