I am writing an Android Camera App and trying to implement Flash functionality, I am using SurfaceView, whenever i do tap on flash button toggle works but flash not coming... see my below code i have used to Turn ON/OFF Flashlights.
Complete code:--
#Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_camera);
preview=(SurfaceView)findViewById(R.id.surface);
previewHolder=preview.getHolder();
previewHolder.addCallback(surfaceCallback);
previewHolder.setType(SurfaceHolder.SURFACE_TYPE_PUSH_BUFFERS);
previewHolder.setFixedSize(getWindow().getWindowManager()
.getDefaultDisplay().getWidth(), getWindow().getWindowManager()
.getDefaultDisplay().getHeight());
btnFlash = (ImageButton) findViewById(R.id.btnFlash);
/*
* First check if device is supporting flashlight or not
*/
hasFlash = getApplicationContext().getPackageManager()
.hasSystemFeature(PackageManager.FEATURE_CAMERA_FLASH);
if (!hasFlash) {
// device doesn't support flash
// Show alert message and close the application
AlertDialog alert = new AlertDialog.Builder(CameraLauncherActivity.this)
.create();
alert.setTitle("Error");
alert.setMessage("Sorry, your device doesn't support flash light!");
alert.setButton("OK", new DialogInterface.OnClickListener() {
public void onClick(DialogInterface dialog, int which) {
// closing the application
finish();
}
});
alert.show();
return;
}
// displaying button image
toggleButtonImage();
btnFlash.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(View v) {
if (isFlashOn) {
// turn off flash
turnOffFlash();
} else {
// turn on flash
turnOnFlash();
}
}
});
}
/*
* Turning On flash
*/
private void turnOnFlash() {
if (!isFlashOn) {
if (camera == null || params == null) {
return;
}
params = camera.getParameters();
params.setFlashMode(Parameters.FLASH_MODE_ON);
camera.setParameters(params);
isFlashOn = true;
// changing button/switch image
toggleButtonImage();
}
}
/*
* Turning Off flash
*/
private void turnOffFlash() {
if (isFlashOn) {
if (camera == null || params == null) {
return;
}
params = camera.getParameters();
params.setFlashMode(Parameters.FLASH_MODE_OFF);
camera.setParameters(params);
isFlashOn = false;
// changing button/switch image
toggleButtonImage();
}
}
/*
* Toggle switch button images
* changing image states to on / off

private void toggleButtonImage(){
if(isFlashOn){
btnFlash.setImageResource(R.drawable.green_button);
}else{

}

A few things I can think of:
Remember to add the features and requirements on the manifest for a camera app:
<!-- Camera Requirement -->
<uses-feature android:name="android.hardware.camera" />
<!-- Camera Permissions -->
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.CAMERA" />
<!-- Features -->
<uses-feature android:name="android.hardware.camera.flash" />
<uses-feature android:name="android.hardware.camera.autofocus" />
If you want to use it as flashlight you can do what #yoah said:
parameters.setFlashMode(Camera.Parameters.FLASH_MODE_TORCH)
If not, to turn flash on which will come out when you take the picture, you use:
parameters.setFlashMode(Camera.Parameters.FLASH_MODE_ON)
I wrote a custom camera app recently, but haven't uploaded it to Github yet, it has all the basic functions working.
Try to use
parameters.setFlashMode(Camera.Parameters.FLASH_MODE_TORCH)
Setting FLASH_MODE_ON means that flash will show when taking a picture

This is my XML file. I take one LinearLayout in which i take SurfaceView and Button, but camera displays view like following Image... look at Image and please give me solution.
<LinearLayout
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:orientation="vertical">
<SurfaceView
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:id="#+id/surface"
android:layout_weight="2"/>
<Button
android:layout_height="100dp"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:id="#+id/click"
android:text="Click Photo"
android:layout_weight="1"/>
</LinearLayout>
and here is my java code please check this also
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
clickphotobtn=(Button)findViewById(R.id.click);
surfaceview=(SurfaceView)findViewById(R.id.surface);
surfaceholder=surfaceview.getHolder();
surfaceholder.addCallback(this);
surfaceholder.setType(SurfaceHolder.SURFACE_TYPE_PUSH_BUFFERS);
clickphotobtn.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(View v) {
//Intent intent = new Intent(MediaStore.ACTION_IMAGE_CAPTURE);
//startActivity(intent);
camera.takePicture(null, null, null);
}
});
}
#Override
public void surfaceCreated(SurfaceHolder holder) {
try {
camera = Camera.open();
camera.setPreviewDisplay(surfaceholder);
// Toast.makeText(getApplication(), "Create", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
} catch (IOException e) { }
}
#Override
public void surfaceChanged(SurfaceHolder holder, int format, int width,
int height)
{
Camera.Parameters parameters = camera.getParameters();
Display display = ((WindowManager)getSystemService(WINDOW_SERVICE)).getDefaultDisplay();
if(display.getRotation()== Surface.ROTATION_0)
{
parameters.setPreviewSize(width, height);
camera.setDisplayOrientation(90);
}
if(display.getRotation()== Surface.ROTATION_90 || display.getRotation()== Surface.ROTATION_180)
parameters.setPreviewSize(width, height);
if(display.getRotation()==Surface.ROTATION_270)
{
parameters.setPreviewSize(width, height);
camera.setDisplayOrientation(180);
}
// camera.setParameters(parameters);
try{
camera.setPreviewDisplay(surfaceholder);
camera.startPreview();
}
catch (Exception e){
Toast.makeText(getApplication(), e.toString(), Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
}
}
#Override
public void surfaceDestroyed(SurfaceHolder holder) {
if (null == camera)
return;
camera.stopPreview();
camera.release();
camera = null;
preview = false;
//Toast.makeText(getApplication(), "Destroy", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
}
This is the right way to change camera orientation, this piece of code worked for me. camera.setDisplayOrientation(90);
Try to follow the way suggested by the documentation, using Camera.CameraInfo in order to obtain the camera orientation and updating it consequently.
Look at the example here: void setDisplayOrientation(int).
Add
public class YourActivity extends AppCompatActivity implements SurfaceHolder.Callback{
....
}
I have written code to work with Custom Camera and for this I am using SurfaceView, now i want to know what if i need to implement Zoom IN and OUT functionality, I never worked on this kind of app.
My code, which i used to create Custom Camera, see below:
MainActivity.java:-
public class MainActivity extends Activity {
private SurfaceView preview=null;
private SurfaceHolder previewHolder=null;
public Camera camera ;
private boolean inPreview=false;
ImageButton btnCapture;
#SuppressWarnings("deprecation")
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
preview=(SurfaceView)findViewById(R.id.surface);
previewHolder=preview.getHolder();
previewHolder.addCallback(surfaceCallback);
previewHolder.setType(SurfaceHolder.SURFACE_TYPE_PUSH_BUFFERS);
previewHolder.setFixedSize(getWindow().getWindowManager()
.getDefaultDisplay().getWidth(), getWindow().getWindowManager()
.getDefaultDisplay().getHeight());
btnCapture = (ImageButton) findViewById(R.id.btnCapture);
btnCapture.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(View v) {
Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), "Capture Image(s)", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
}
});
}
#Override
public void onResume() {
super.onResume();
camera=Camera.open();
}
#Override
public void onPause() {
super.onPause();
if (inPreview) {
camera.stopPreview(); }
camera.release();
camera=null;
inPreview=false;
}
private Camera.Size getBestPreviewSize(int width, int height,Camera.Parameters parameters){
Camera.Size result=null;
for (Camera.Size size : parameters.getSupportedPreviewSizes())
{
if (size.width<=width && size.height<=height)
{
if (result==null) {
result=size;
} else {
int resultArea=result.width*result.height;
int newArea=size.width*size.height;
if (newArea>resultArea) {
result=size;
}
}
}
}
return(result);
}
SurfaceHolder.Callback surfaceCallback=new SurfaceHolder.Callback(){
public void surfaceCreated(SurfaceHolder holder) {
try {
camera.setPreviewDisplay(previewHolder);
} catch (Throwable t) {
Log.e("PreviewDemo-surfaceCallback",
"Exception in setPreviewDisplay()", t);
Toast.makeText(MainActivity.this, t.getMessage(), Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
}
}
public void surfaceChanged(SurfaceHolder holder,int format, int width,int height) {
Camera.Parameters parameters=camera.getParameters();
Camera.Size size=getBestPreviewSize(width, height,
parameters);
if (size!=null) {
parameters.setPreviewSize(size.width, size.height);
camera.setParameters(parameters);
camera.startPreview();
inPreview=true;
}
}
public void surfaceDestroyed(SurfaceHolder holder) {
}
};
}
activity_main.xml:-
<RelativeLayout
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
android:background="#drawable/splash_background" >
<android.view.SurfaceView

</RelativeLayout>
I found a way by using several links, it works for me, and finally i have added code into my surfaceChanged(...), my complete surfaceChanged(..) code looks like, below:
declare variable of int datatype named currentZoomLevel and assign 0 as initial value,
int currentZoomLevel = 0;
Code:-
public void surfaceChanged(SurfaceHolder holder,int format, int width,int height) {
params = camera.getParameters();
params.setFlashMode(Camera.Parameters.FLASH_MODE_ON);
Camera.Size size=getBestPreviewSize(width, height,
params);
if (size!=null) {
params.setPreviewSize(size.width, size.height);
camera.setParameters(params);
camera.startPreview();
inPreview=true;
ZoomControls zoomControls = (ZoomControls) findViewById(R.id.zoomControls);
if (params.isZoomSupported()) {
final int maxZoomLevel = params.getMaxZoom();
Log.i("max ZOOM ", "is " + maxZoomLevel);
zoomControls.setIsZoomInEnabled(true);
zoomControls.setIsZoomOutEnabled(true);
zoomControls.setOnZoomInClickListener(new OnClickListener(){
public void onClick(View v){
if(currentZoomLevel < maxZoomLevel){
currentZoomLevel++;
//mCamera.startSmoothZoom(currentZoomLevel);
params.setZoom(currentZoomLevel);
camera.setParameters(params);
}
}
});
zoomControls.setOnZoomOutClickListener(new OnClickListener(){
public void onClick(View v){
if(currentZoomLevel > 0){
currentZoomLevel--;
params.setZoom(currentZoomLevel);
camera.setParameters(params);
}
}
});
}
else
zoomControls.setVisibility(View.GONE);
}
}
Xml:-
<ZoomControls
android:id="#+id/zoomControls"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_alignParentBottom="true"
android:layout_centerHorizontal="true" />
I am placing my answer, just for more clearity and for viewers future use..
Below is the sample code for zoom functionality .Please try if it can help you:
public class DemoActivity extends Activity {

private ZoomControls zoomControls ;
Camera mCamera=null;
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub

enableZoom();
}
private void enableZoom() {
zoomControls = new ZoomControls(this);
zoomControls.setIsZoomInEnabled(true);
zoomControls.setIsZoomOutEnabled(true);
zoomControls.setOnZoomInClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(View v) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
zoomCamera(false);
}
});
zoomControls.setOnZoomOutClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(View v) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
zoomCamera(true);
}
});
pCameraLayout.addView(zoomControls);
}
/**

public void zoomCamera(boolean zoomInOrOut) {
if(mCamera!=null) {
Parameters parameter = mCamera.getParameters();
if(parameter.isZoomSupported()) {
int MAX_ZOOM = parameter.getMaxZoom();
int currnetZoom = parameter.getZoom();
if(zoomInOrOut && (currnetZoom <MAX_ZOOM && currnetZoom >=0)) {
parameter.setZoom(++currnetZoom);
}
else if(!zoomInOrOut && (currnetZoom <=MAX_ZOOM && currnetZoom >0)) {
parameter.setZoom(--currnetZoom);
}
}
else
Toast.makeText(context, "Zoom Not Avaliable", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
mCamera.setParameters(parameter);
}
}
I was trying to write a simple camera app, but I ran into quite a frustrating problem with my picture preview. It shows horizontal flicker lines running up the screen. My screen has a width of 800 (Galaxy SII plus), so there are black spaces on the edges (the activity is set to horizontal orientation). Now these black margins begin to transition to a white-grey at the bottom ends when the flicker occurs, so I suspect there might be something drawn over them.
The really annoying part is that this does not seem to depend on the actual code, since it sometimes works without any flickering.
public class Preview extends SurfaceView implements SurfaceHolder.Callback {
private SurfaceHolder mHolder;
private Camera camera;
private Point size;
Preview(Context context, Camera camera, Point size) {
super(context);
this.camera = camera;
this.size = size;
mHolder = getHolder();
mHolder.addCallback(this);
mHolder.setType(SurfaceHolder.SURFACE_TYPE_PUSH_BUFFERS);
setWillNotDraw(false);
Parameters parameters = camera.getParameters();
parameters.setPreviewSize(720, 480);
parameters.setPictureSize(720, 480);
camera.setParameters(parameters);
Camera.Size previewSize = camera.getParameters().getPreviewSize();
setLayoutParams(new FrameLayout.LayoutParams(previewSize.width,
previewSize.height, Gravity.CENTER));
}
#Override
public void surfaceChanged(SurfaceHolder holder, int format, int w, int h) {
if (mHolder.getSurface() == null) {
return;
}
// stop preview before making changes
try {
camera.stopPreview();
} catch (Exception e) {
}
Camera.Size previewSize = camera.getParameters().getPreviewSize();
setLayoutParams(new FrameLayout.LayoutParams(previewSize.width,
previewSize.height, Gravity.CENTER));
try {
camera.setPreviewDisplay(mHolder);
camera.startPreview();
} catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
#Override
public void surfaceCreated(SurfaceHolder holder) {
try {
camera.setPreviewDisplay(holder);
camera.startPreview();
} catch (IOException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
#Override
public void surfaceDestroyed(SurfaceHolder arg0) {
}
#Override
protected void onLayout(boolean arg0, int arg1, int arg2, int arg3, int arg4) {
}
public void setCamera(Camera camera) {
if (this.camera == camera) {
return;
}
stopPreviewAndFreeCamera();
this.camera = camera;
if (this.camera != null) {
requestLayout();
try {
this.camera.setPreviewDisplay(mHolder);
} catch (IOException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
this.camera.startPreview();
}
}
public void stopPreviewAndFreeCamera() {
if (this.camera != null) {
this.camera.stopPreview();
this.camera.release();
this.camera = null;
}
}
public void takePicture() {
camera.autoFocus(null);
camera.takePicture(null, null, new PictureHandler(this.getContext()));
camera.startPreview();
}
}
public class MainActivity extends Activity {
private Preview mPreview;
.
.
.
#Override
public boolean onKeyDown(int keyCode, KeyEvent event) {
if ((keyCode == KeyEvent.KEYCODE_BACK)) {
this.mPreview.stopPreviewAndFreeCamera();
finish();
}
return super.onKeyDown(keyCode, event);
}
}
I have seen several other questions on this subject but none seem to solve my problem. I have a custom camera app that is working fine, everything but the zoom buttons. this is my code using SDK min 8 target 14:
#Override
public void surfaceChanged(SurfaceHolder holder, int format, int width,
int height) {
if (isPreviewing){
camera.stopPreview();
}
Camera.Parameters p = camera.getParameters();
p.setPreviewSize(sizes.get(0).width, sizes.get(0).height);
p.setColorEffect(effect);
zoomControls = (ZoomControls) findViewById(R.id.zoomControls);
if (p.isZoomSupported()) {
maxZoomLevel = p.getMaxZoom();
Toast.makeText(PictureTaker.this, String.valueOf(maxZoomLevel),Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
zoomControls.setIsZoomInEnabled(true);
zoomControls.setIsZoomOutEnabled(true);
zoomControls.setOnZoomInClickListener(new OnClickListener() {
public void onClick(View v) {
if (currentZoomLevel < maxZoomLevel) {
currentZoomLevel++;
camera.startSmoothZoom(currentZoomLevel);
//Toast.makeText(PictureTaker.this, String.valueOf(currentZoomLevel),Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
}
}
});
zoomControls.setOnZoomOutClickListener(new OnClickListener() {
public void onClick(View v) {
if (currentZoomLevel > 0) {
currentZoomLevel--;
camera.startSmoothZoom(currentZoomLevel);
}
}
});
} else {
zoomControls.setVisibility(View.GONE);
}
camera.setParameters(p);
try {
camera.setPreviewDisplay(holder);
} // end try
catch (IOException e) {
Log.v(TAG, e.toString());
} // end catch
camera.startPreview(); // begin the preview
isPreviewing = true;
}
The setColorEffect is coming from the options menu and works perfectly. I know isZoomSupported and getMaxZoom are working because the Toast displays a "59" when the code runs, but the zoom buttons do nothing. This is the zoomControl from the XML
<ZoomControls
android:id="#+id/zoomControls"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_alignParentBottom="true"
android:layout_centerHorizontal="true"
android:layout_marginBottom="17dp"
android:baselineAligned="false"
android:gravity="center_horizontal"
android:orientation="horizontal" />
I have all the necessary permissions in the Manifest and no errors are showing in LogCat. Not sure what I'm doing wrong. I added a second Toast to report if the currentZoomLevel is being changed when the button is pressed and it shows the value getting incremented by one each time. I also tried not using startSmoothZoom and just setting the zoom with
p.setZoom(currentZoomLevel); or p.setZoomLevel(15);
and neither one works either. My phone, HTC Incredible does have a perfectly working zoom on its native camera app. If I comment out the zoomControl parts of the code, everything works fine and all other features of the custom camera work fine even with the zoomControl code in there, it just doesn't zoom.
Figured it out and maybe this can help some of the other people who have been having similar problems. It was the smoothzoom. Guess my HTC doesn't support this.
#Override
public void surfaceChanged(SurfaceHolder holder, int format, int width,
int height) {
if (isPreviewing){
camera.stopPreview();
}
p = camera.getParameters();
p.setPreviewSize(sizes.get(0).width, sizes.get(0).height);
p.setColorEffect(effect);
if (p.isZoomSupported() && p.isSmoothZoomSupported()) {
//most phones
maxZoomLevel = p.getMaxZoom();
zoomControls.setIsZoomInEnabled(true);
zoomControls.setIsZoomOutEnabled(true);
zoomControls.setOnZoomInClickListener(new OnClickListener() {
public void onClick(View v) {
if (currentZoomLevel < maxZoomLevel) {
currentZoomLevel++;
camera.startSmoothZoom(currentZoomLevel);
}
}
});
zoomControls.setOnZoomOutClickListener(new OnClickListener() {
public void onClick(View v) {
if (currentZoomLevel > 0) {
currentZoomLevel--;
camera.startSmoothZoom(currentZoomLevel);
}
}
});
} else if (p.isZoomSupported() && !p.isSmoothZoomSupported()){
//stupid HTC phones
maxZoomLevel = p.getMaxZoom();
zoomControls.setIsZoomInEnabled(true);
zoomControls.setIsZoomOutEnabled(true);
zoomControls.setOnZoomInClickListener(new OnClickListener() {
public void onClick(View v) {
if (currentZoomLevel < maxZoomLevel) {
currentZoomLevel++;
p.setZoom(currentZoomLevel);
camera.setParameters(p);
}
}
});
zoomControls.setOnZoomOutClickListener(new OnClickListener() {
public void onClick(View v) {
if (currentZoomLevel > 0) {
currentZoomLevel--;
p.setZoom(currentZoomLevel);
camera.setParameters(p);
}
}
});
}else{
//no zoom on phone
zoomControls.setVisibility(View.GONE);
}
camera.setParameters(p);
try {
camera.setPreviewDisplay(holder);
} // end try
catch (IOException e) {
Log.v(TAG, e.toString());
} // end catch
camera.startPreview(); // begin the preview
isPreviewing = true;
} // end method surfaceChanged
This lets my HTC zoom in steps. The key was setting the camera's parameters after each button click. You could probably set the currentZoomLevel to any number you want, based on the maxZoomLevel, (my HTC is 59 but my Droid 4 is only 15), during the clicks of the ZoomControls to make the device zoom in and out faster. Might be a tidier way to code this, should probably put some checks in to make sure maxZoomSize doesn't return a NULL or something, but it's working on multiple devices.
Its simple forget about startSmoothZoom() method
follow this:
Camera.Parameters params = camera.getParameters();
params.setZoom(zoom_value);
camera.setParameters(params);
params.setZoom(currentZoomLevel); camera.setParameters(params); code also work at my Samsung G3 phone.

The above code is working fine for when i launch the application the camera preview is displayed with no actions performed in that. But i want to get an image overlay on the live feed camera. please help me.....
I will give you a hint, if you are still stuck. In your layout definition you can define a frame layout or a relative layout in a way that the views are or apear to be on top of each other. You can see an example here:
http://littlesaiph.blogspot.de/2011/07/getting-images-laid-pause-over-video-in.html
