Here seems to be 2 workarounds:
Either i dynamically set the surface view "camera_image_view" at the time user try to capture screen. But i tried that in onClick and it is not working. Please suggest me some changes if you found any bug in that.
Clicking a full screen image and then cropping it to whatever fits inside the length and width of "camera_image_view". I tried this also but i think there is some flaw in this line:
Bitmap resizedbitmap1=Bitmap.createBitmap(bitmap, 0,0,mCameraPreview.getWidth(), mCameraPreview.getHeight());
as it is generating some broken colors instead of the cropped image.
So please help me with any of the two ways as both will work for me.

How to add autofocus to surface view?

I am working on a QR decoder app in which i have created a SurfaceView to display camera output and a ImageButton to select an image from gallery.
I am using google play services to decode the QR code which requires to use surface view to scan the QR using camera. But it is not focusing on its own.
Below is the code for the same.
import android.content.Intent;
import android.graphics.Bitmap;
import android.graphics.BitmapFactory;
import android.net.Uri;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.provider.MediaStore;
import android.support.v7.app.AppCompatActivity;
import android.util.Log;
import android.util.SparseArray;
import android.view.SurfaceHolder;
import android.view.SurfaceView;
import android.view.View;
import android.widget.ImageButton;
import android.widget.Toast;
import com.google.android.gms.vision.CameraSource;
import com.google.android.gms.vision.Detector;
import com.google.android.gms.vision.Frame;
import com.google.android.gms.vision.barcode.Barcode;
import com.google.android.gms.vision.barcode.BarcodeDetector;
public class Scanner extends AppCompatActivity {
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_scanner);
final SurfaceView cameraView = (SurfaceView) findViewById(R.id.camera_view);
BarcodeDetector barcodeDectector = new BarcodeDetector.Builder(this).setBarcodeFormats(Barcode.QR_CODE).build();
final CameraSource cameraSource = new CameraSource.Builder(this,barcodeDectector).setRequestedPreviewSize(1920,1080).build();
cameraView.getHolder().addCallback(new SurfaceHolder.Callback() {
#Override
public void surfaceCreated(SurfaceHolder surfaceHolder) {
try {
cameraSource.start(cameraView.getHolder());
} catch (IOException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
#Override
public void surfaceChanged(SurfaceHolder surfaceHolder, int i, int i1, int i2) {
}
#Override
public void surfaceDestroyed(SurfaceHolder surfaceHolder) {
cameraSource.stop();
}
});
barcodeDectector.setProcessor(new Detector.Processor<Barcode>() {
#Override
public void release() {
}
#Override
public void receiveDetections(Detector.Detections<Barcode> detections) {
final SparseArray<Barcode> barcodes = detections.getDetectedItems();
//QRcode found hence move to intent action.
if( barcodes.size() != 0){
Intent i = new Intent(Scanner.this,Verify.class);
i.putExtra("xml",barcodes.valueAt(0).displayValue);
startActivity(i);
}
}
});
ImageButton scanImage = (ImageButton) findViewById(R.id.scanImage);
scanImage.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(View view) {
//button action to be added
}
});
}
}
The activity_scanner.xml is as follows.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
android:layout_width="match_parent"

android:paddingBottom="#dimen/activity_vertical_margin"
android:paddingLeft="#dimen/activity_horizontal_margin"
android:paddingRight="#dimen/activity_horizontal_margin"
android:paddingTop="#dimen/activity_vertical_margin"">
<SurfaceView
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="400dip"
android:layout_weight="70"
android:id="#+id/camera_view"
android:layout_alignParentLeft="true"
/>
<ImageButton
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:id="#+id/scanImage"
android:layout_below="#+id/camera_view"
android:layout_alignParentLeft="true"
android:layout_alignParentStart="true"
android:src="#drawable/ic_image_black_48dp"
android:layout_alignRight="#+id/camera_view"
android:layout_alignEnd="#+id/camera_view" />
</RelativeLayout>

Try extending Surface view like this, and setFocusable(true).
public class CameraView extends SurfaceView implements SurfaceHolder.Callback {
public CameraView(Context context) {
super(context);
getHolder().addCallback(this);
setFocusable(true);
}
#Override
public void surfaceCreated(SurfaceHolder holder) {
}
#Override
public void surfaceChanged(SurfaceHolder holder, int format, int width, int height) {
}
#Override
public void surfaceDestroyed(SurfaceHolder holder) {
}
}
EDIT 1:
Then in layout you can use this class like this,
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://s...content-available-to-author-only...d.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:tools="http://s...content-available-to-author-only...d.com/tools"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:paddingBottom="#dimen/activity_vertical_margin"
android:paddingLeft="#dimen/activity_horizontal_margin"
android:paddingRight="#dimen/activity_horizontal_margin"
android:paddingTop="#dimen/activity_vertical_margin">
<com.abhayjatindoshi.encryptorcode.qrlogin.javaclass.CameraView
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="400dip"
android:layout_weight="70"
android:id="#+id/camera_view"
android:layout_alignParentLeft="true"
/>
<ImageButton
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:id="#+id/scanImage"
android:layout_below="#+id/camera_view"
android:layout_alignParentLeft="true"
android:layout_alignParentStart="true"
android:src="#drawable/ic_image_black_48dp"
android:layout_alignRight="#+id/camera_view"
android:layout_alignEnd="#+id/camera_view" />
</RelativeLayout>
Use Layout like above.

try this:
cameraView.requestFocus();

cameraView.setFocusableInTouchMode(true);
cameraView.setFocusable(true);
cameraView.requestFocus();

Above did not solved mine "focus" problem but i come a cross other solution which helped me:
private void setCamFocusMode(){
if(null == mCamera) {
return;
}
/* Set Auto focus */
Parameters parameters = mCamera.getParameters();
List<String> focusModes = parameters.getSupportedFocusModes();
if(focusModes.contains(Camera.Parameters.FOCUS_MODE_CONTINUOUS_PICTURE)){
parameters.setFocusMode(Camera.Parameters.FOCUS_MODE_CONTINUOUS_PICTURE);
} else
if(focusModes.contains(Camera.Parameters.FOCUS_MODE_AUTO)){
parameters.setFocusMode(Camera.Parameters.FOCUS_MODE_AUTO);
}
mCamera.setParameters(parameters);
}
oryginally posted here:
https://stackoverflow.com/a/27092999/6225516

If somebody still looking for this yet, I've solved it by adding .setAutoFocusEnabled(true) before .build, in the line:
BarcodeDetector barcodeDectector = new BarcodeDetector.Builder(this)
.setBarcodeFormats(Barcode.QR_CODE)
.build();*

Flashlight app exception: "Fail to connect to camera service"

I know, I'm using outdated stuff in my code, but that's probably because I have not seen anyone building flashlight app for Marshmallow. If anyone can suggest new code it will be helpful or correct my code(given above) will be thankful.

The surface needs to be setup before use

Problem with Camera.startPreview()

I'm following this tutorial to learn Android's Camera API. I made it the end of the first section (right before "Providing an overlay" begins), and I'm getting the following error:
06-20 23:33:50.903: ERROR/AndroidRuntime(1114): at android.hardware.Camera.startPreview(Native Method)
06-20 23:33:50.903: ERROR/AndroidRuntime(1114): at com.sobel.Sobel.startCamera(Sobel.java:73)

(Full trace)
Git repo here. Main Activity here. Manifest here.
I checked and re-checked my code and have followed the tutorial to a t, so what could be causing this error?

Try setting the type of Surface in initCamera().
private void initCamera() {
mCamSV = (SurfaceView)findViewById(R.id.surface_camera);
mCamSH = mCamSV.getHolder();
mCamSH.addCallback(this);
**mCamSH.setType(SurfaceHolder.SURFACE_TYPE_PUSH_BUFFERS);**
}
