/**

 * <p>The {@code open()} and {@code release()} calls are similar to the ones
 * in {@code android.hardware.Camera}. The difference is if {@code keep()} is
 * called before {@code release()}, CameraHolder will try to hold the {@code
 * android.hardware.Camera} instance for a while, so if {@code open()} is
 * called soon after, we can avoid the cost of {@code open()} in {@code
 * android.hardware.Camera}.
 *
 * <p>This is used in switching between {@code Camera} and {@code VideoCamera}
 * activities.
