Here, I`m creating an image overlay on surface view and when i click on image to capture it, how to save it with that image that is overlayed on it? Please help and thanks in Advance. The image is captured but it is not saved with that image that is overlayed on the surface view.

You can use surfaceview.getDrawingCache();
this will return a Bitmap from your SurfaceView and then you can use it or save it in storage.

surfaceview.getDrawingCache(); does not work on surface, because surface is separate view than others view you have to get bitmpa on picturetaken method.

public void onPictureTaken(byte[] data, Camera camera) {
camera.startPreview();

Why image is being saved in Landscape Mode?

In my code all is going well but clicked Image is being saved in Landscape Mode in given Directory. I have tried my best. Please help and suggest me to resolve this issue.

It seems you are calling:
camera.setDisplayOrientation(90);
which would probably cause the landscape image you are seeing when your application is in portrait mode.
You should use:
int rotation = activity.getWindowManager().getDefaultDisplay().getRotation();
to get the rotation of your display and then set:
caemra.setDisplayOrientation(rotation);
or just call camera.setDisplayOrientation(0) and set screenOrientation in your android manifest as so:
<activity
android:name=".MainActivity"
android:label="#string/app_name"
android:screenOrientation="portrait"
to prevent the orientation changing.

you need to rotate the image and then save it.
public static Bitmap rotateImage(Bitmap bitmapSrc) {
Matrix matrix = new Matrix();
matrix.postRotate(CameraConfigurationUtils.previewRotation);
return Bitmap.createBitmap(bitmapSrc, 0, 0,
bitmapSrc.getWidth(), bitmapSrc.getHeight(), matrix, true);
}
To get the rotation:
private static int setCameraDisplayOrientation(Context mContext, android.hardware.Camera.CameraInfo info) {
int rotation = ((CameraActivity) mContext).getWindowManager().getDefaultDisplay()
.getRotation();
int degrees = 0;
switch (rotation) {
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;
}
if (info.facing == Camera.CameraInfo.CAMERA_FACING_FRONT) {
previewRotation = (info.orientation + degrees) % 360;
previewRotation = (360 - previewRotation) % 360; // compensate the mirror
} else { // back-facing
previewRotation = (info.orientation - degrees + 360) % 360;
}
return previewRotation;
}

Taking more than one shots with Android programmatically?

I need to use camera without preview and take more than one shots.
I have written my code and I am able to take one shot, it works properly.
But I could not handle to do more than once. Because the logic of Camera Service i tried a method CreateCameraTakeShot, still no success.

I think you could use Content Resolver to achieve it,
ContentValues v = new ContentValues();
v.put(Images.Media.TITLE, title);
v.put(Images.Media.DISPLAY_NAME, System..currenttimemillis());
v.put(Images.Media.DESCRIPTION, description);
v.put(Images.Media.DATE_ADDED, dateTaken);
v.put(Images.Media.DATE_TAKEN, dateTaken);
v.put(Images.Media.DATE_MODIFIED, dateTaken) ;
v.put(Images.Media.MIME_TYPE, “image/jpeg”);
v.put(Images.Media.ORIENTATION, orientation);
Give it a try.

This might help

Android Save Image to SD Card

UPDATE
Added
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE" />
to the manifest all works ok now.
Ok so I have a app I have started to create which in the end I want to be able to take a picture, which then takes you to another screen which lets you be able to "Use" or "Retake" the picture.
When the image is took it needs to be saved into a new folder on the SD Card, (if the folder is not there then it needs to create it). I had all this working a couple of weeks ago but after i did some editing and shut down eclipse I cant seem to get it back working?
The section for this is after int imageNum = 0; i have added imagesFolder.mkdirs(); which i belive is correct to create a new folder but even this seems not to be working now.
Now the image just gets took and neither the new folder gets created or the image gets saved.

You should make sure the manifest lists the permission to write to the SD card:
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE" />
