"JavaCameraView" Camera Orientation Issue

I am new to Android development. I'm making a simple app, which has one Activity. In this Activity I'm trying to get frames from camera and process it real time, but I'm having camera orientation Issue, i.e. image received is 90 degree rotated. There are many solutions available to solve this problem but found no one for the "JavaCameraView". So please help me out how to solve the orientation issue only for "JavaCameraView".
This is my code:
public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity implements CameraBridgeViewBase.CvCameraViewListener2 {
private static final String TAG = "MainActivity";
JavaCameraView javaCameraView;
private BaseLoaderCallback mLoaderCallback = new BaseLoaderCallback(this) {
#Override
public void onManagerConnected(int status) {
switch (status) {
case LoaderCallbackInterface.SUCCESS: {
javaCameraView.enableView();
}
break;
default: {
super.onManagerConnected(status);
}
break;
}
}
};
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
//if (ContextCompat.checkSelfPermission(this, Manifest.permission.CAMERA)!= PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED) {
ActivityCompat.requestPermissions(this, new String[]{Manifest.permission.CAMERA}, CAMERA_PERMISSION_REQUEST_CODE);
//}
javaCameraView = (JavaCameraView) findViewById(R.id.java_camera_view);
javaCameraView.setVisibility(View.VISIBLE);
javaCameraView.setCvCameraViewListener(this);
}
#Override
protected void onPause() {
super.onPause();
if (javaCameraView != null)
javaCameraView.disableView();
}
#Override
protected void onDestroy() {
super.onDestroy();
if (javaCameraView != null)
javaCameraView.disableView();
}
#Override
protected void onResume() {
super.onResume();
if (OpenCVLoader.initDebug()) {
Log.i(TAG, "OpenCV loaded successfully.");
mLoaderCallback.onManagerConnected(LoaderCallbackInterface.SUCCESS);
} else {
Log.i(TAG, "OpenCV not loaded.");
OpenCVLoader.initAsync(OpenCVLoader.OPENCV_VERSION_3_1_0, this, mLoaderCallback);
}
}
#Override
public void onCameraViewStarted(int width, int height) {
frame = new Mat(height, width, CV_8UC4);
}
#Override
public void onCameraViewStopped() {
frame.release();
}
#Override
public Mat onCameraFrame(CameraBridgeViewBase.CvCameraViewFrame inputFrame) {
frame = inputFrame.rgba();
//frame=processFrame();
//Imgcodecs.imwrite("/storage/emulated/0/aaaaa+.jpg", frame);
return frame;
}
}

So now use PortraitCameraView in your xml and java file because i have convert javacamera view in portrait mode in this class.

You can use setMaxFrame size function.
javaCameraView.setMaxFrameSize(480, 640);
480 is width and 640 is height. Now javacameraview is portrait.

Camera Preview performance issue on some devices

I am creating a camera application using android camera api by this example: https://examples.javacodegeeks.com/android/core/hardware/camera-hardware/android-camera-example/
I made some changes according to my needs and you can see the code below. The problem is, camera preview for back camera works quite fine on my LG G3 device but on LG G4 it gets too slow. It also works fine with front camera on both devices.
What can cause this problem ?
CameraPreview:
public class CameraPreview extends SurfaceView implements SurfaceHolder.Callback{
private static String TAG = "CameraPreview";
private SurfaceHolder mHolder;
private Camera mCamera;
private List<Size> mSupportedPreviewSizes;

super(context);
mCamera = camera;
mHolder = getHolder();
mHolder.addCallback(this);
// deprecated setting, but required on Android versions prior to 3.0
mHolder.setType(SurfaceHolder.SURFACE_TYPE_PUSH_BUFFERS);
}
#Override
public void surfaceCreated(SurfaceHolder surfaceHolder) {
try{
Log.d(TAG, "Surface Created..");
if(mCamera == null){
mCamera.setPreviewDisplay(surfaceHolder);
mCamera.setDisplayOrientation(90);
mCamera.startPreview();
}
} catch (IOException e) {
Log.d(VIEW_LOG_TAG, "Error setting camera preview: " + e.getMessage());
}
}
public void refreshCamera(Camera camera) {
if (mHolder.getSurface() == null) {
// preview surface does not exist
return;
}
// stop preview before making changes
try {
mCamera.stopPreview();
} catch (Exception e) {
// ignore: tried to stop a non-existent preview
}

setCamera(camera);

if(mCamera == null){
Log.d(TAG,"Camera null");
}
Camera.Parameters parameters = mCamera.getParameters();
parameters.setPreviewSize(mPreviewSize.width, mPreviewSize.height);
mCamera.setParameters(parameters);
mCamera.setPreviewDisplay(mHolder);

}
}

final double ASPECT_TOLERANCE = 0.1;
double targetRatio=(double)h / w;
if (sizes == null) return null;
Camera.Size optimalSize = null;
double minDiff = Double.MAX_VALUE;
int targetHeight = h;
for (Camera.Size size : sizes) {
double ratio = (double) size.width / size.height;
if (Math.abs(ratio - targetRatio) > ASPECT_TOLERANCE) continue;
if (Math.abs(size.height - targetHeight) < minDiff) {

if (Math.abs(size.height - targetHeight) < minDiff) {

}
}
}
return optimalSize;
}
}
I can share the Activity class if its needed..
Thanks..

Why continuous auto focusing camera with handler dont allow to toggle camera flash?

What I have done so far:
I have implemented custom camera for reading qr code which need to continue focus the camera for better qr reading.
My problem is when I use to focus in every one second with the handler the camera flash on\off button dont works or it takes too much time to turning on and off the camera flash light. Every thing works fine when I remove the code of auto focusing the camera every second (The runnable and the handler).
What I want is to focus automatically and quickly whenever camera moves and also able to turn on and off the flash on demand quickly without using Camera.Parameters.FOCUS_MODE_CONTINUOUS_PICTURE because its not available for API<14.
I have used Camera.Parameters.FOCUS_MODE_AUTO but its only focusing the camera once when started thats why i used handler to focus camera every second.
Min SDK Version of project is 9.

I see some issue with your AutoFocus handling code.
Analysis Result
There is cycle in your autofocus.
Explanation
a) Camera Preview Class mAutoFocusCallback is set with the autoFocusCb of the Camera Activity.
public CameraPreviewNew(Context context,...,AutoFocusCallback autoFocusCb)
{
super(context);
mAutoFocusCallback = autoFocusCb;
...
}
b)surfaceChanged is called once, at the time of loading the activity. The camera is requested to Auto Focus.
public void surfaceChanged(SurfaceHolder holder, int format, int w, int h)
{
if (mCamera != null)
{
...
mCamera.startPreview();
/*Auto focus camera and call <code>mAutoFocusCallback</code> after autofocus.*/
mCamera.autoFocus(mAutoFocusCallback);
...
}
}
c) On completion of the autofocus the mAutoFocusCallback callback is called. mAutoFocusCallback->autoFocusCb->onAutoFocus()
Camera Activity
Camera.AutoFocusCallback autoFocusCB = new Camera.AutoFocusCallback() {
public void onAutoFocus(boolean success, Camera camera) {
mAutoFocusHandler.postDelayed(doAutoFocus, 1000);
}
};
d)onAutoFocus schedules one more autoFocus after 1000 millisecons, 1 sec.
Camera Activity
public void onAutoFocus(boolean success, Camera camera) {
mAutoFocusHandler.postDelayed(doAutoFocus, 1000);
}
e)After one second the messages is passed to handler that calles the runnable doAutoFocus requesting camera to auto focus, similar to b) above.
private Runnable doAutoFocus = new Runnable() {
public void run() {
if (mCamera != null && mPreviewing) {
mCamera.autoFocus(autoFocusCB);
}
}
};
f) After completion of the autoFocus, the autoFocusCB is called again, similar to c) above. and cycle continues.
Camera.AutoFocusCallback autoFocusCB = new Camera.AutoFocusCallback() {
public void onAutoFocus(boolean success, Camera camera) {
mAutoFocusHandler.postDelayed(doAutoFocus, 1000);
}
};
Solution
I am confused why such implementation. The cycle may be reason behind not listening to the flash enable/disable calls. You need to remove the code below and do something meaningful else leave the onAutoFocus() empty.
Camera.AutoFocusCallback autoFocusCB = new Camera.AutoFocusCallback() {
public void onAutoFocus(boolean success, Camera camera) {
/*REMOVE LINE BELOW*/
mAutoFocusHandler.postDelayed(doAutoFocus, 1000);
}
};
For auto focusing every time the camera moves you need to take help of the motion sensors provided with the phone. You can google it
Hope that helps.
Happy Coding...

It seems that you dont need to use AutoFocusCallBack for your app, because you did nothing else than delay 1 second.
What you can do to focus all the time is using FOCUS_MODE_CONTINUOUS_PICTURE(read more here) like that(setFocus method is in CameraPreview, not in Activity):
public void setFocus() {
Camera.Parameters p = mCamera.getParameters();
p.setFocusMode(Camera.Parameters.FOCUS_MODE_CONTINUOUS_PICTURE);
mCamera.setParameters(p);
mCamera.startPreview();
}
And call it in SurfaceChanged:
public void surfaceChanged(SurfaceHolder holder, int format, int w, int h) {
// Now that the size is known, set up the camera parameters and begin
// the preview.
Camera.Parameters parameters = mCamera.getParameters();
List<Camera.Size> previewSizes = parameters.getSupportedPreviewSizes();
// You need to choose the most appropriate previewSize for your app
Camera.Size previewSize = previewSizes.get(0);
parameters.setPreviewSize(previewSize.width, previewSize.height);
parameters.setRotation(90);
mCamera.setParameters(parameters);
mCamera.startPreview();
setFlash(true);
setZoomLevel(5);
setFocus();
Log.w(TAG, "surfaceChanged()");
}
For flash you can use this method from CameraPreview:
public void setFlash(boolean isFlashOn) {
Camera.Parameters p = mCamera.getParameters();
if (isFlashOn) {
p.setFlashMode(Camera.Parameters.FLASH_MODE_TORCH);
mCamera.setParameters(p);
mCamera.startPreview();
} else {
p.setFlashMode(Camera.Parameters.FLASH_MODE_OFF);
mCamera.setParameters(p);
mCamera.startPreview();
}
Log.w(TAG, "setFlash()");
}
Hope it helps you! If you have any questions about my answer feel free to comment.

While this must be late, if you are toggling Camera parameters, it is preferable to do the sequence of operation as below
mCamera.stopPreview();
mCamera.setParameters(params); // set flash on in Camera parameters
mCamera.startPreview();

Sorry for the extremely long post, I just want to be as thorough as possible. Thanks in advance guys!

If you want your preview to be full screen, you should set the full screen flag in your activity before you call setContentView:
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
requestWindowFeature(Window.FEATURE_NO_TITLE);
getWindow().addFlags(WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_FULLSCREEN);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_camera);
}

How to Autocapture when motion detection in android?

Hi I need auto capture when picture motion in Android camera. I can capture image with user's permission, but I want app to capture image automatically whenever motion is detected. Please any one give idea.
