i need Some Help help I am Working With An app which Can take picture automatic On Activity With Main Camera But I want to use Front Camera Instead Of Main Camera
can U Please Tell Me How To use Front Camera
here Is My Code
public class TakePicture extends Activity implements SurfaceHolder.Callback
{
//a variable to store a reference to the Image View at the main.xml file
private ImageView iv_image;
//a variable to store a reference to the Surface View at the main.xml file
private SurfaceView sv;
//a bitmap to display the captured image
private Bitmap bmp;
//Camera variables
//a surface holder
private SurfaceHolder sHolder;
//a variable to control the camera
private Camera mCamera;
//the camera parameters
private Parameters parameters;
/** Called when the activity is first created. */
#Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState)
{
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.main);
//get the Image View at the main.xml file
iv_image = (ImageView) findViewById(R.id.imageView);
//get the Surface View at the main.xml file
sv = (SurfaceView) findViewById(R.id.surfaceView);
//Get a surface
sHolder = sv.getHolder();
//add the callback interface methods defined below as the Surface View callbacks
sHolder.addCallback(this);
//tells Android that this surface will have its data constantly replaced
sHolder.setType(SurfaceHolder.SURFACE_TYPE_PUSH_BUFFERS);
}
#Override
public void surfaceChanged(SurfaceHolder arg0, int arg1, int arg2, int arg3)
{
//get camera parameters
parameters = mCamera.getParameters();
//set camera parameters
mCamera.setParameters(parameters);
mCamera.startPreview();
//sets what code should be executed after the picture is taken
Camera.PictureCallback mCall = new Camera.PictureCallback()
{
#Override
public void onPictureTaken(byte[] data, Camera camera)
{
//decode the data obtained by the camera into a Bitmap
bmp = BitmapFactory.decodeByteArray(data, 0, data.length);
//set the iv_image
iv_image.setImageBitmap(bmp);
TakePicture t=new TakePicture();
t.SaveBitmap(bmp);
// SendEmail(bmp);
}
};
mCamera.takePicture(null, null, mCall);
}
#Override
public void surfaceCreated(SurfaceHolder holder)
{
// The Surface has been created, acquire the camera and tell it where
// to draw the preview.
mCamera = Camera.open();
try {
mCamera.setPreviewDisplay(holder);
} catch (IOException exception) {
mCamera.release();
mCamera = null;
}
}
#Override
public void surfaceDestroyed(SurfaceHolder holder)
{
//stop the preview
mCamera.stopPreview();
//release the camera
mCamera.release();
//unbind the camera from this object
mCamera = null;
}

public void openFrontFacingCamera() {
numberOfCamera = Camera.getNumberOfCameras();
if(camId == Camera.CameraInfo.CAMERA_FACING_BACK){
camId = Camera.CameraInfo.CAMERA_FACING_FRONT;
Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), "BACK TO FRONT" ,
1000).show();
try {
camera.release();
camera = Camera.open(camId);
camera.setPreviewDisplay(surfaceHolder);
camera.startPreview();
previewing = true;
} catch (RuntimeException e) {
} catch (IOException e) {}
}else if(camId == Camera.CameraInfo.CAMERA_FACING_FRONT){
camId = Camera.CameraInfo.CAMERA_FACING_BACK;
Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), "FRONT TO BACK" ,
1000).show();
try {
camera.release();
camera = Camera.open(camId);
camera.setPreviewDisplay(surfaceHolder);
camera.startPreview();
} catch (RuntimeException e) {
} catch (IOException e) {}
}
}
hope this function will help u

change
mCamera = Camera.open();
to
mCamera = Camera.open(Camera.CameraInfo.CAMERA_FACING_FRONT);

Adding Buttons on Custom Camera FrameLayout

I have made a simple Custom Camera app. Now i want to add my own buttons on camera screen. How can i do it. Here is my layout.xml code.
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"

Android Custom Camera touch to take picture

I've created a custom camera that takes a photo within a frame. however i dont intend to use a button to capture a photo but rather an ontouch event. Ive tried a couple of times but as soon as i put an onTouchListener, it crashes. Should i use gesture?
Here is my code.
MainActivity -
public class MainActivity extends Activity {
private Camera mCamera;
private CameraPreview mCameraPreview;
private File pictureFile;
private Drawable d2;
/** Called when the activity is first created. */
#Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
ImageView iv = new ImageView(this);
iv.setImageResource(R.drawable.richard2);
mCamera = getCameraInstance();
mCameraPreview = new CameraPreview(this, mCamera);
FrameLayout preview = (FrameLayout) findViewById(R.id.camera_preview);
// final ImageView view = (ImageView) findViewById(R.id.imageView1);
preview.addView(mCameraPreview);
preview.addView(iv);
Button captureButton = (Button) findViewById(R.id.button_capture);
captureButton.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
#SuppressLint("NewApi")
#Override
public void onClick(View v) {
mCamera.takePicture(null, null, mPicture);
//File file1 = getOutputMediaFile();
//Bitmap myBitmap = BitmapFactory.decodeFile(file1.getAbsolutePath());
//Drawable drawable = new BitmapDrawable(getResources(), myBitmap);
//view.setBackground(R.drawable.drawable);
//view.setImageBitmap(myBitmap);
}
});
}
/**
* Helper method to access the camera returns null if it cannot get the
* camera or does not exist
*
* #return
*/
private Camera getCameraInstance() {
Camera camera = null;
try {
camera = Camera.open();
} catch (Exception e) {
// cannot get camera or does not exist
}
return camera;
}
PictureCallback mPicture = new PictureCallback() {
#Override
public void onPictureTaken(byte[] data, Camera camera) {
pictureFile = getOutputMediaFile();
if (pictureFile == null) {
return;
}
try {

}
};
private static File getOutputMediaFile() {
File mediaStorageDir = new File(
Environment
.getExternalStoragePublicDirectory(Environment.DIRECTORY_PICTURES),
"MyCameraApp");
if (!mediaStorageDir.exists()) {
if (!mediaStorageDir.mkdirs()) {
Log.d("MyCameraApp", "failed to create directory");
return null;
}
}
// Create a media file name
String timeStamp = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyyMMdd_HHmmss")
.format(new Date());
File mediaFile;
mediaFile = new File(mediaStorageDir.getPath() + File.separator
+ "IMG_" + timeStamp + ".jpg");
return mediaFile;
}
}
the camera class -
public class CameraPreview extends SurfaceView implements SurfaceHolder.Callback {
private SurfaceHolder mSurfaceHolder;
private Camera mCamera;
// Constructor that obtains context and camera
#SuppressWarnings("deprecation")
public CameraPreview(Context context, Camera camera) {
super(context);
this.mCamera = camera;
this.mSurfaceHolder = this.getHolder();
this.mSurfaceHolder.addCallback(this);
this.mSurfaceHolder.setType(SurfaceHolder.SURFACE_TYPE_PUSH_BUFFERS);
}
#Override
public void surfaceCreated(SurfaceHolder surfaceHolder) {
try {
mCamera.setDisplayOrientation(90);
mCamera.setPreviewDisplay(surfaceHolder);
mCamera.startPreview();
} catch (IOException e) {
// left blank for now
}
}
#Override
public void surfaceDestroyed(SurfaceHolder surfaceHolder) {
mCamera.stopPreview();
mCamera.release();
}
#Override
public void surfaceChanged(SurfaceHolder surfaceHolder, int format,
int width, int height) {
// start preview with new settings
try {
mCamera.setPreviewDisplay(surfaceHolder);
mCamera.startPreview();
} catch (Exception e) {
// intentionally left blank for a test
}
}
}
lastly, the xml file.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

</LinearLayout>

one thing i didnt try was to put an onclick listener, so turns out, it works.
preview.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
#SuppressLint("NewApi")
#Override
public void onClick(View v) {
mCamera.takePicture(null, null, mPicture);
}
});

Camera Preview not visible after App Resumes

I am developing this app which requires access to the camera. I have accessed it well. But there are two issues.
The preview is all stretched when the phone is vertical. Secondly, the camera preview isn't visible when I resume the app. The camera.open() function does opens the camera but I am not able to see the preview. I have tried all the help available on the forum but nothing is actually solving my problem.
-Thanks in advance!

You create a CameraPreview only onCreate() of your Activity. But the camera instance is released onPause(), and a new one is opened onResume(). Therefore, you need to set the surface again.

Full screen preview after image is captured in camera in android

I have added user permission in manifest.xml.
This code is accessed onClick from another activity. And after I click the photo the screen remains still with clicked snapshot. The issue is the camera window is very small about 40% of height and width and the preview shown after image is clicked is also smaller, about 80% of height and width. How to make both (camera window and preview after click) full screen ?

Solved this by adding the following code onCreate
surfaceHolder.setFixedSize(getWindow().getWindowManager()
.getDefaultDisplay().getWidth(), getWindow().getWindowManager()
.getDefaultDisplay().getHeight());
