Camera Size and 4:3 aspect ratio is not matching

Camera Size and 4:3 aspect ratio is not matching - android

I am using the Surface View of Camera to show camera and take a photo
i need the camera preview to be of specific ration 4:3, instagram is a square and mine is a rectangle.
If you look at the instagram app the camera preview is not stretching or compressed, but in mine its compressed.
This is my Camera Preview Class :
class CustomCam extends SurfaceView implements SurfaceHolder.Callback {
private final String TAG = "PIC-FRAME";
private static final double ASPECT_RATIO = 4.0 / 3.0;
private static final int PICTURE_SIZE_MAX_WIDTH = 1280;
private static final int PREVIEW_SIZE_MAX_WIDTH = 640;
private SurfaceHolder mHolder;
private Camera mCamera;
private Display display;
public List<Camera.Size> mSupportedPreviewSizes;
private Camera.Size mPreviewSize;
public CustomCam(Activity context, Camera camera) {
super(context);
mCamera = camera;
display = ((WindowManager) context.getSystemService(Context.WINDOW_SERVICE)).getDefaultDisplay();
mSupportedPreviewSizes = mCamera.getParameters().getSupportedPreviewSizes();
for (Camera.Size str : mSupportedPreviewSizes)
Log.e(TAG, str.width + "/" + str.height);
// Install a SurfaceHolder.Callback so we get notified when the
// underlying surface is created and destroyed.
mHolder = getHolder();
mHolder.addCallback(this);
// deprecated setting, but required on Android versions prior to 3.0
mHolder.setType(SurfaceHolder.SURFACE_TYPE_PUSH_BUFFERS);
setKeepScreenOn(true);
}
public void surfaceDestroyed(SurfaceHolder holder) {
// empty. Take care of releasing the Camera preview in your activity.
this.getHolder().removeCallback(this);
}

My Custom Frame layout :
CustomFrameLayout extends FrameLayout {
private static final float RATIO = 4f / 3f;
public CustomFrameLayout(Context context) {
super(context);
}
public CustomFrameLayout(Context context, AttributeSet attrs) {
super(context, attrs);
}
public CustomFrameLayout(Context context, AttributeSet attrs, int defStyleAttr) {
super(context, attrs, defStyleAttr);
}
#TargetApi(Build.VERSION_CODES.LOLLIPOP)
public CustomFrameLayout(Context context, AttributeSet attrs, int defStyleAttr,
int defStyleRes) {
super(context, attrs, defStyleAttr, defStyleRes);
}
#Override
protected void onMeasure(int widthMeasureSpec, int heightMeasureSpec) {
super.onMeasure(widthMeasureSpec, heightMeasureSpec);
int width = getMeasuredWidth();
int height = getMeasuredHeight();
int widthWithoutPadding = width - getPaddingLeft() - getPaddingRight();
int heigthWithoutPadding = height - getPaddingTop() - getPaddingBottom();
int maxWidth = (int) (heigthWithoutPadding * RATIO);
int maxHeight = (int) (widthWithoutPadding / RATIO);
if (widthWithoutPadding > maxWidth) {
width = maxWidth + getPaddingLeft() + getPaddingRight();
} else {
height = maxHeight + getPaddingTop() + getPaddingBottom();
}
setMeasuredDimension(width, height);
}
But the cam preview is compressed inside the frame layout how can i solve this ?issue ?
Update
Ok after some research got to know that its because of onMeasure
ASPECT_RATIO = 4:3
#Override
protected void onMeasure(int widthMeasureSpec, int heightMeasureSpec) {
int height = MeasureSpec.getSize(heightMeasureSpec);
int width = MeasureSpec.getSize(widthMeasureSpec);
if (width > height * ASPECT_RATIO) {
width = (int) (height * ASPECT_RATIO + 0.5);
} else {
height = (int) (width / ASPECT_RATIO + 0.5);
}
setMeasuredDimension(width, height);
}
Solution
So i was thinking of a solution, might be (just like Instagram does) to make your camera at full size and then hide some areas of the layout just to make it look like its 4:3 ratio.Then by using some crop mechanism have to cut the image to make the image look like 4:3.
Say i always show preview from top with 4:3 ratio and rest of the below part is hidden, so now as soon as i take photo i want to crop the image from top to 4:3 ratio and save it.
How can i achieve this, is this a feasible solution ?

As far as I understand, your current problem is how to crop the image you receive and show it. Here is a small example:
#OnClick(R.id.btn_record_start)
public void takePhoto() {
if (null != actions) {
EasyCamera.PictureCallback callback = new EasyCamera.PictureCallback() {
public void onPictureTaken(byte[] data, EasyCamera.CameraActions actions) {
// store picture
Bitmap bitmap = ImageUtils.getExifOrientedBitmap(data);
if ((portrait && bitmap.getHeight() < bitmap.getWidth()) ||
(!portrait && bitmap.getHeight() > bitmap.getWidth())) {
Matrix matrix = new Matrix();
matrix.postRotate(90);
bitmap =
Bitmap.createBitmap(bitmap, 0, 0, bitmap.getWidth(), bitmap.getHeight(),
matrix, true);
}
Camera.CameraInfo info = new Camera.CameraInfo();
Camera.getCameraInfo(cameraId, info);
if (Camera.CameraInfo.CAMERA_FACING_FRONT == info.facing) {
Matrix matrix = new Matrix();
matrix.postRotate(180);
bitmap =
Bitmap.createBitmap(bitmap, 0, 0, bitmap.getWidth(), bitmap.getHeight(),
matrix, true);
}
showPhoto(bitmap);
}
};
actions.takePicture(EasyCamera.Callbacks.create()
.withJpegCallback(callback));
}
}
This is a method I'm using to handle image orientation after the photo is taken.
It can easily be modified to handle cropping too. To achieve this, you have to specify the target width and height of the image (currently I'm sending the whole bitmap's size). A possible solution is to take the image's height and delete the excessive width - so the params you send to the createBitmap method would be bitmap.getHeight() * 4.0 / 3.0 and bitmap.getHeight(). Here is the modified example:
#OnClick(R.id.btn_record_start)
public void takePhoto() {
if (null != actions) {
EasyCamera.PictureCallback callback = new EasyCamera.PictureCallback() {
public void onPictureTaken(byte[] data, EasyCamera.CameraActions actions) {
// store picture
Bitmap bitmap = ImageUtils.getExifOrientedBitmap(data);
if ((portrait && bitmap.getHeight() < bitmap.getWidth()) ||
(!portrait && bitmap.getHeight() > bitmap.getWidth())) {
Matrix matrix = new Matrix();
matrix.postRotate(90);
bitmap =
Bitmap.createBitmap(bitmap, 0, 0, bitmap.getWidth(), bitmap.getHeight(),
matrix, true);
}
Camera.CameraInfo info = new Camera.CameraInfo();
Camera.getCameraInfo(cameraId, info);
if (Camera.CameraInfo.CAMERA_FACING_FRONT == info.facing) {
Matrix matrix = new Matrix();
matrix.postRotate(180);
bitmap =
Bitmap.createBitmap(bitmap, 0, 0, (int) (bitmap.getHeight() * 4.0 / 3.0), bitmap.getHeight(),
matrix, true);
}
showPhoto(bitmap);
}
};
actions.takePicture(EasyCamera.Callbacks.create()
.withJpegCallback(callback));
}
}
A few things to note:
you can substitute the 4.0 / 3.0 part with the ASPECT_RATIO variable
my example is doing image rotation so it looks as it was during the preview, in your case the required UI might be different.
I'm using the EasyCamera library to simplify the camera management
Here are the other ImageUtils methods I'm using:
getExifOrientedBitmap
public static Bitmap getExifOrientedBitmap(byte[] data) {
File newPhotoFile = writeToFile(data);
if (newPhotoFile == null) {
return null;
}
Bitmap bitmap = BitmapFactory.decodeByteArray(data, 0, data.length);
bitmap = fixOrientationIfNeeded(newPhotoFile, bitmap);
newPhotoFile.delete();
return bitmap;
}
writeToFile
#Nullable
public static File writeToFile(byte[] data) {
File dir = PhotoMessageComposer.getPhotoDir();
if (!dir.exists()) {
dir.mkdir();
}
File newPhotoFile = new File(dir, ImageUtils.getRandomFilename());
FileOutputStream fos = null;
try
{
fos = new FileOutputStream(newPhotoFile);
fos.write(data);
fos.close();
} catch (Exception error) {
return null;
} finally {
try {
if (fos != null) {
fos.close();
}
} catch (IOException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
return newPhotoFile;
}
getPhotoDir
#NonNull
public static File getPhotoDir() {
return new File(
Environment.getExternalStoragePublicDirectory(Environment.DIRECTORY_PICTURES) +
PICTURES_DIR);
}
getRandomFileName
public static String getRandomFilename() {
return UUID.randomUUID().toString() + IMAGE_EXTENSION;
}
fixOrientationIfNeeded
public static Bitmap fixOrientationIfNeeded(File sourceFile, Bitmap source) {
ExifInterface exif;
try {
exif = new ExifInterface(sourceFile.getAbsolutePath());
int exifOrientation = exif.getAttributeInt(
ExifInterface.TAG_ORIENTATION,
ExifInterface.ORIENTATION_NORMAL);
if (exifOrientation != ExifInterface.ORIENTATION_NORMAL) {
Matrix matrix = new Matrix();
int angle = findRotationAngle(exifOrientation);
matrix.postRotate(angle);
source = Bitmap.createBitmap(source, 0, 0, source.getWidth(),
source.getHeight(), matrix, true);
return source;
}
} catch (IOException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
return source;
}
findRotationAngle
protected static int findRotationAngle(int exifOrientation) {
switch (exifOrientation) {
case ExifInterface.ORIENTATION_ROTATE_270:
return 270;
case ExifInterface.ORIENTATION_ROTATE_180:
return 180;
case ExifInterface.ORIENTATION_ROTATE_90:
return 90;
default:
return 0;
}
}
P.S. It has been a few years since this ImageUtils class was implemented, so probably there are better ways to handle some of these operations. They should be good enough for a starting point though.

The setting codes of the preview Size lies in Preview's OnLayout method:
protected override void OnLayout(bool changed, int l, int t, int r, int b)
{
if (changed && ChildCount > 0)
{
View child = GetChildAt(0);
int width = r - l;
int height = b - t;
int previewWidth = width;
int previewHeight = height;
if (mPreviewSize != null)
{
previewWidth = mPreviewSize.Width;
previewHeight = mPreviewSize.Height;
}
// Center the child SurfaceView within the parent.
if (width * previewHeight > height * previewWidth)
{
int scaledChildWidth = previewWidth * height / previewHeight;
child.Layout((width - scaledChildWidth) / 2, 0,
(width + scaledChildWidth) / 2, height);
}
else
{
int scaledChildHeight = previewHeight * width / previewWidth;
child.Layout(0, (height - scaledChildHeight) / 2,
width, (height + scaledChildHeight) / 2);
}
}
}
Here I don't get the codes' meaning. But by child.Layout(0, (height - scaledChildHeight) / 2,width, (height + scaledChildHeight) / 2);, you are decreasing the top boundary and bottom boundary of the preview window to (height - scaledChildHeight) / 2 and (height + scaledChildHeight) / 2).
So to to increase the camera height to fill all available space you need to modify this code snippet.
For Example:
int LeftBoundary=0,TopBoundary=0;
int RightBoundary=r,BottomBoundary=b;
child.Layout(LeftBoundary,TopBoundary,RightBoundary,BottomBoundary));

Camera is inverted in Nexus device

I am trying to create custom camera preview logic that actually works properly, for all scenarios:
any device: phone, tablet
any camera: front-facing, rear-facing
android.hardware.Camera
My android:minSdkVersion is 14 and android:targetSdkVersion is 21.
I have implemented custom camera preview class to set display orientation for camera preview and working very well for all devices without only Nexus devices. Nexus devices have I think default 180 orientation.
While I am starting my camera in Nexus devices it is showing inverted. To overcome with i have checked with Build.MANUFACTURER & Build.MODEL to identify the device and set orientation according to it.
if (Build.MODEL.equals("Nexus 6P") && Build.MANUFACTURER.equals("Huawei")) mCamera.setDisplayOrientation(90);
else mCamera.setDisplayOrientation(270);
But it is not working. So can anyone have idea to overcome with this and recommended way !! Advance help would be appreciated !!

As far as I know this problem doesn't occur on Nexus 5. I had to deal with it on a Nexus 5X and I lost some time trying(Click here to see why). As a big note, I can't guarantee that it's the best solution, but it fixed all the problems I had. To solve it I did something like this:
I created a class CameraPreview extends SurfaceView only to encapsulate all the preview initialisation in one place. Here is the constructor for that class:
public CameraPreview(Context context, int screenRotation, Camera camera) {
super(context);
mCamera = camera;
mScreenRotation = screenRotation;
mHolder = getHolder();
mHolder.addCallback(this);
setFocusable(true);
setFocusableInTouchMode(true);
}
To create the preview I used this: mPreview = new CameraPreview(getContext(), screenRotation, mCamera);, where screenRotation is int screenRotation = getActivity().getWindowManager().getDefaultDisplay().getRotation();
When the surfaceCreated callback is called:
public void surfaceCreated(SurfaceHolder holder) {
try {
mCamera.setPreviewDisplay(holder);
setCameraDisplayOrientation(mScreenRotation, 0, mCamera);
Here,0 comes from the cameraId (it might be different if you're using the front facing camera). And here is all the magic:
public void setCameraDisplayOrientation(int screenRotation, int cameraId, Camera camera) {
int rotation = getRotationAngle(screenRotation, cameraId);
camera.setDisplayOrientation(rotation);
}
public static int getRotationAngle(int screenRotation, int cameraId) {
Camera.CameraInfo info = new Camera.CameraInfo();
android.hardware.Camera.getCameraInfo(cameraId, info);
int degrees = 0;
switch (screenRotation) {
case Surface.ROTATION_0: degrees = 0; break;
case Surface.ROTATION_90: degrees = 90; break;
case Surface.ROTATION_180: degrees = 180; break;
case Surface.ROTATION_270: degrees = 270; break;
}
int result;
if (info.facing == Camera.CameraInfo.CAMERA_FACING_FRONT) {
result = (info.orientation + degrees) % 360;
result = (360 - result) % 360; // compensate the mirror
} else { // back-facing
result = (info.orientation - degrees + 360) % 360;
}

This is all my code,,, Its been 3 days and still stuck at this problem,,,, every one says its working but not with me,,, i am testing it on samsung galaxy s with android 2.3.6 gingerbread,,,, please help me Thanks.

This is because the data provided as parameter is not in jpeg format. You need to convert it first:
Camera.Parameters parameters = camera.getParameters();
final int format = parameters.getPreviewFormat();
YuvImage im = new YuvImage( data, format, width, height, null );
ByteArrayOutputStream out = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
final Rect rect = new Rect( 0, 0, width, height );
im.compressToJpeg( rect, 100, out );
byte[] jpeg = out.toByteArray();

Camera preview stretched even after setting the correct dimensions

I'm creating a camera app that implements it's own camera preview for taking pictures.
The app is currently forced into portrait mode.
My problem is that the preview from the camera is slightly stretched (the aspect ratio is a bit off).
The funny thing is that I'm setting my SurfaceView size to always match the preview size. This ensures that the aspect ratio should always be perserved... but it isn't...
Here is the layout i use to show my camera preview:
public class Cp extends ViewGroup implements SurfaceHolder.Callback {
private final String TAG = "CameraPreview";
private boolean mPreviewRunning = false;
private SurfaceView mSurfaceView;
private SurfaceHolder mHolder;
private Size mPreviewSize;
private List<Size> mSupportedPreviewSizes;
private Camera mCamera;
public boolean IsPreviewRunning() {
return mPreviewRunning;
}
public Cp(Context context) {
this(context, null, 0);
}
public Cp(Context context, AttributeSet attrs) {
this(context, attrs, 0);
}
public Cp(Context context, AttributeSet attrs, int defStyle) {
super(context, attrs, defStyle);
mSurfaceView = new SurfaceView(context);
addView(mSurfaceView);
// Install a SurfaceHolder.Callback so we get notified when the
// underlying surface is created and destroyed.
mHolder = mSurfaceView.getHolder();
mHolder.addCallback(this);
mHolder.setType(SurfaceHolder.SURFACE_TYPE_PUSH_BUFFERS);
}
public void setCamera(Camera camera) {
mCamera = camera;
if (mCamera != null) {
requestLayout();
}
}
public void switchCamera(Camera camera) {
setCamera(camera);
try {
camera.setPreviewDisplay(mHolder);
} catch (IOException exception) {
Log.e(TAG, "IOException caused by setPreviewDisplay()", exception);
}
Camera.Parameters parameters = camera.getParameters();
parameters.setPreviewSize(mPreviewSize.width, mPreviewSize.height);
requestLayout();
camera.setParameters(parameters);
}
#Override
protected void onMeasure(int widthMeasureSpec, int heightMeasureSpec) {
// We purposely disregard child measurements because act as a wrapper to
// a SurfaceView that
// centers the camera preview instead of stretching it.
final int width = resolveSize(getSuggestedMinimumWidth(),
widthMeasureSpec);
final int height = resolveSize(getSuggestedMinimumHeight(),
heightMeasureSpec);
setMeasuredDimension(width, height);
if (mSupportedPreviewSizes == null && mCamera != null) {
mSupportedPreviewSizes = mCamera.getParameters()
.getSupportedPreviewSizes();
}
if (mSupportedPreviewSizes != null) {
mPreviewSize = getOptimalPreviewSize(mSupportedPreviewSizes, width,
height);
}
}
#Override
protected void onLayout(boolean changed, int l, int t, int r, int b) {
if (changed && getChildCount() > 0) {
final View child = getChildAt(0);
final int width = r - l;
final int height = b - t;
int previewWidth = width;
int previewHeight = height;
if (mPreviewSize != null) {
previewWidth = mPreviewSize.height;
previewHeight = mPreviewSize.width;
}
if (previewWidth == 0) {
previewWidth = 1;
}
if (previewHeight == 0) {

}
// Center the child SurfaceView within the parent.
if (width * previewHeight > height * previewWidth) {

/ previewHeight;
child.layout((width - scaledChildWidth) / 2, 0,
(width + scaledChildWidth) / 2, height);
} else {
final int scaledChildHeight = previewHeight * width
/ previewWidth;
child.layout(0, (height - scaledChildHeight) / 2, width,
(height + scaledChildHeight) / 2);
}
}
}
#Override

// The Surface has been created, acquire the camera and tell it where to
// draw.
try {
if (mCamera != null) {

}
} catch (IOException exception) {
Log.e(TAG, "IOException caused by setPreviewDisplay()", exception);
}
}

}
}
// Cannot find the one match the aspect ratio, ignore the requirement
if (optimalSize == null) {

minDiff = Math.abs(size.height - targetHeight);
}
}
}
return optimalSize;
}
#Override
public void surfaceChanged(SurfaceHolder holder, int format, int w, int h) {
if (mCamera != null) {
// Now that the size is known, set up the camera parameters and
// begin the preview.
Camera.Parameters parameters = mCamera.getParameters();
if (mPreviewSize != null) {
parameters.setPreviewSize(mPreviewSize.width,
mPreviewSize.height);
}
requestLayout();

}
}
public void stop() {
if (mCamera != null) {
mCamera.stopPreview();
mPreviewRunning = false;
mCamera = null;
}
}
}
Please note that in onLayout width and height are swapped because the app is always running in portrait.
I'm including some pictures to show you what the problem looks like:
I've debugged the code. The preview size is being set to 1280x720 and the size of the layout is also being correctly adjusted to match that size.
I've also tried different layouts but the result was always the same...

I was having the same problem, after some days in this puzzle, my Java class end up on this code:
So, The problem was happening because the camera display had a size (hight x width) 576x720, and my display was 1184x720. So, the camera preview (my surface view class) stretched to fill in the parent.
So, the approach that worked is to make this view bigger than my screen, and that just display the area of my screen. So, I had to use this weird frame combination (a relative layout inside a linearlayout), so that the size of the relative will be as big as I want - the surface view will fill in it -, and the linear will take just the part that I wanna display.

I have been trying to solve the same issue... Below code worked for me:
private void setMyPreviewSize(int width, int height) {
// Get the set dimensions
float newProportion = (float) width / (float) height;
// Get the width of the screen
int screenWidth = getWindowManager().getDefaultDisplay().getWidth();
int screenHeight = getWindowManager().getDefaultDisplay().getHeight();
float screenProportion = (float) screenWidth / (float) screenHeight;
// Get the SurfaceView layout parameters
android.view.ViewGroup.LayoutParams lp = surfaceView.getLayoutParams();
if (newProportion > screenProportion) {
lp.width = screenWidth;
lp.height = (int) ((float) screenWidth / newProportion );
} else {
lp.width = (int) (newProportion * (float) screenHeight);
lp.height = screenHeight;
}
// Commit the layout parameters
surfaceView.setLayoutParams(lp);
}
You can see the thread: Resizing surface view for aspect ratio change in video display in android

Here's a solution
surfaceChanged is just to get the best preview size
#Override
public void surfaceChanged(SurfaceHolder holder, int format, int width, int height) {
Log.e("MYTAG", "surfaceChanged " );
Camera.Parameters myParameters = camera.getParameters();
Camera.Size myBestSize = getBestPreviewSize(width, height, myParameters);
if(myBestSize != null){
myParameters.setPreviewSize(myBestSize.width, myBestSize.height);
camera.setParameters(myParameters);
camera.startPreview();
}
}
#Override
public void onPictureTaken(byte[] data, Camera camera) {
Bitmap bitmap = BitmapFactory.decodeByteArray(data, 0, data.length);
imageReview.setImageBitmap(bitmap);
}
This will set the captured image on imageReview, but you need a method to get the rotation of the bitmap
you need to set imageView scaleType attribute for stretched image issue
<ImageView
android:id="#+id/imageView"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:scaleType="centerCrop"
/>
