Camera orientation on Android [closed] - android

It's difficult to tell what is being asked here. This question is ambiguous, vague, incomplete, overly broad, or rhetorical and cannot be reasonably answered in its current form. For help clarifying this question so that it can be reopened, visit the help center.

Hello friends. I am creating an Android application which uses camera code. I have used android-API 2.1 . I have installed my application on dell mobile and the orientation of camera is correct. However, I installed my application in other android mobiles like Samsung Galaxy S2 etc. Here, the problem is with camera orientation, even in portrait mode the camera is rotated 90 degrees. Can anyone suggest me if any camera parameters need to be changed so that camera orientation works well on all mobiles...? Here is my code:
//class CameraDemo
public class CameraDemo extends Activity {
private static final String TAG = "CameraDemo";
Camera camera;
Preview preview;
Button buttonClick;
Button next;

buttonClick = (Button) findViewById(R.id.buttonClick);
next = (Button) findViewById(R.id.next);
buttonClick.setOnClickListener( new OnClickListener() {
public void onClick(View v) {
preview.camera.takePicture(shutterCallback, rawCallback, jpegCallback);
try{
Constants.takepic=1;
buttonClick.setEnabled(false); //once click is clicked, its disable
}

Camera.Parameters parameters = camera.getParameters();
parameters.setPreviewSize(w, h);
if(getResources().getConfiguration().orientation ==
Configuration.ORIENTATION_PORTRAIT)
{
parameters.set("rotation",90);
parameters.set("orientation", "portrait");
}
if (getResources().getConfiguration().orientation ==
Configuration.ORIENTATION_LANDSCAPE)
{
parameters.set("rotation", 90);
parameters.set("orientation", "landscape");
}
parameters.set("jpeg-quality", 50);
camera.setParameters(parameters);
camera.startPreview();
}
#Override
public void draw(Canvas canvas) {
super.draw(canvas);
Paint p= new Paint(Color.RED);
Log.d(TAG,"draw");
canvas.drawText("PREVIEW", canvas.getWidth()/2, canvas.getHeight()/2, p );
}
}

If it gives you any error please post it, or use Log.d to show what Parameters is returning your Dell and using SendLog to see what the Samsung Galaxy is returning too. I think it's very important to see it, because I'd some problems with other parameters and I solved them like that.

Capturing Photo from SurfaceView

I'm trying to capture an image from a SurfaceView custom camera. I have set up the initial code but I don't know how to call the 'take photo' method so that I can see the preview on the surface.
Currently this code displays the preview in realtime. I need to take the picture and access the byte[] array
Please help me complete the code:
private SurfaceView mSurfaceView;
private SurfaceHolder mSurfaceHolder;
private Camera mCamera;
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_camera);
captureImage = (ImageButton) findViewById(R.id.captureImage);
mSurfaceView = (SurfaceView) findViewById(R.id.surfaceView);
captureImage.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(View v) {
//this button press should take the picture
}
});
mSurfaceView.getHolder().addCallback(this);
mSurfaceView.getHolder().setType(SurfaceHolder.SURFACE_TYPE_PUSH_BUFFERS);
mCamera = Camera.open();
}
#Override
public void onPause() {
super.onPause();
mCamera.stopPreview();
}
#Override
public void onDestroy() {
super.onDestroy();
mCamera.release();
}
#Override
public void surfaceCreated(SurfaceHolder holder) {
try {
mCamera.setPreviewDisplay(mSurfaceView.getHolder());
} catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
#Override
public void surfaceChanged(SurfaceHolder holder, int format, int width, int height) {
Camera.Parameters params = mCamera.getParameters();
List<Camera.Size> sizes = params.getSupportedPreviewSizes();
Camera.Size selected = sizes.get(0);
params.setPreviewSize(selected.width,selected.height);
mCamera.setParameters(params);
mCamera.setDisplayOrientation(90);
mCamera.startPreview();
}
#Override
public void surfaceDestroyed(SurfaceHolder holder) {
mCamera.stopPreview();
mCamera.release();
mCamera = null;
}
I need to get the bytes [] data so that I can convert the image to a base64 string. How do I call the necessary methods to take the picture using the code above?
Check "jpegCallback" in my example:
public class CameraActivity extends ActionBarActivity implements SurfaceHolder.Callback {
Camera camera;
SurfaceView surfaceView;
SurfaceHolder surfaceHolder;
PictureCallback jpegCallback;
#Override
protected void onCreate(#Nullable Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_camera);
surfaceView = (SurfaceView) findViewById(R.id.surfaceView);
surfaceHolder = surfaceView.getHolder();
// Install a SurfaceHolder.Callback so we get notified when the
// underlying surface is created and destroyed.
surfaceHolder.addCallback(this);
// deprecated setting, but required on Android versions prior to 3.0
surfaceHolder.setType(SurfaceHolder.SURFACE_TYPE_PUSH_BUFFERS);
jpegCallback = new PictureCallback() {
public void onPictureTaken(byte[] data, Camera camera) {
FileOutputStream outStream = null;
try {
outStream = new FileOutputStream(String.format("/sdcard/%d.jpg", System.currentTimeMillis()));
outStream.write(data);
outStream.close();
Log.d("Log", "onPictureTaken - wrote bytes: " + data.length);
} catch (FileNotFoundException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
} catch (IOException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
} finally {
}
Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), "Picture Saved", 2000).show();
refreshCamera();
}
};
}
public void captureImage(View v) throws IOException {
//take the picture
camera.takePicture(null, null, jpegCallback);
}
#Override
public void surfaceCreated(SurfaceHolder surfaceHolder) {
try {
// open the camera
camera = Camera.open();
} catch (RuntimeException e) {
// check for exceptions
System.err.println(e);
return;
}
Camera.Parameters param;
param = camera.getParameters();
// modify parameter
List<Camera.Size> sizes = param.getSupportedPreviewSizes();
Camera.Size selected = sizes.get(0);
param.setPreviewSize(selected.width,selected.height);
camera.setParameters(param);
try {
// The Surface has been created, now tell the camera where to draw
// the preview.
camera.setDisplayOrientation(90);
camera.setPreviewDisplay(surfaceHolder);
camera.startPreview();
} catch (Exception e) {
// check for exceptions
System.err.println(e);
return;
}
}
#Override
public void surfaceChanged(SurfaceHolder surfaceHolder, int i, int i1, int i2) {
// Now that the size is known, set up the camera parameters and begin
// the preview.
refreshCamera();
}
#Override
public void surfaceDestroyed(SurfaceHolder surfaceHolder) {
// stop preview and release camera
camera.stopPreview();
camera.release();
camera = null;
}
public void refreshCamera() {
if (surfaceHolder.getSurface() == null) {
// preview surface does not exist
return;
}
// stop preview before making changes
try {
camera.stopPreview();
} catch (Exception e) {
// ignore: tried to stop a non-existent preview
}
// set preview size and make any resize, rotate or
// reformatting changes here
// start preview with new settings
try {
camera.setPreviewDisplay(surfaceHolder);
camera.startPreview();
} catch (Exception e) {
}
}
}

Tried capturing multiple photos in Android but didn't work

I'm a newbie in Android and I've been trying to make an Android camera application that is supposed to be able to capture 5 images when we click the camera button. But the code I'm working on doesn't seem to work. Is there anyone that can help please? So far, this is the code:
public class CameraDemo extends Activity {
private static final String TAG = "CameraDemo";
Camera camera;
Preview preview;
Button buttonClick;
/** Called when the activity is first created. */
#Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.main);
preview = new Preview(this);
((FrameLayout) findViewById(R.id.preview)).addView(preview);
buttonClick = (Button) findViewById(R.id.buttonClick);
buttonClick.setOnClickListener( new OnClickListener() {
public void onClick(View v) {
int count = 0;
while(count < 5){
preview.camera.takePicture(shutterCallback, rawCallback, jpegCallback);
count++;
try {
wait(1000);
} catch (InterruptedException exception) {
exception.printStackTrace();
}
}
}
});
Log.d(TAG, "onCreate'd");
}
ShutterCallback shutterCallback = new ShutterCallback() {
public void onShutter() {
Log.d(TAG, "onShutter'd");
}
};
/** Handles data for raw picture */
PictureCallback rawCallback = new PictureCallback() {
public void onPictureTaken(byte[] data, Camera camera) {
Log.d(TAG, "onPictureTaken - raw");
}
};
/** Handles data for jpeg picture */
PictureCallback jpegCallback = new PictureCallback() {
public void onPictureTaken(byte[] data, Camera camera) {
FileOutputStream outStream = null;
try {
// write to local sandbox file system
// outStream = CameraDemo.this.openFileOutput(String.format("%d.jpg", System.currentTimeMillis()), 0);
// Or write to sdcard
outStream = new FileOutputStream(String.format("/sdcard/%d.jpg", System.currentTimeMillis()));
outStream.write(data);
outStream.close();
Log.d(TAG, "onPictureTaken - wrote bytes: " + data.length);
} catch (FileNotFoundException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
} catch (IOException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
} finally {
}
Log.d(TAG, "onPictureTaken - jpeg");
}
};
}
And this is the other class named Preview:
class Preview extends SurfaceView implements SurfaceHolder.Callback {
private static final String TAG = "Preview";
SurfaceHolder mHolder;
public Camera camera;
Preview(Context context) {
super(context);
// Install a SurfaceHolder.Callback so we get notified when the

}
public void surfaceCreated(SurfaceHolder holder) {
// The Surface has been created, acquire the camera and tell it where
// to draw.
camera = Camera.open();
try {
camera.setPreviewDisplay(holder);
camera.setPreviewCallback(new PreviewCallback() {
public void onPreviewFrame(byte[] data, Camera arg1) {
FileOutputStream outStream = null;
try {
outStream = new FileOutputStream(String.format("/sdcard/%d.jpg", System.currentTimeMillis()));
outStream.write(data);
outStream.close();
Log.d(TAG, "onPreviewFrame - wrote bytes: " + data.length);
} catch (FileNotFoundException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
} catch (IOException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
} finally {
}
Preview.this.invalidate();
}
});
} catch (IOException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
public void surfaceDestroyed(SurfaceHolder holder) {
// Surface will be destroyed when we return, so stop the preview.
// Because the CameraDevice object is not a shared resource, it's very
// important to release it when the activity is paused.
camera.stopPreview();
camera = null;
}
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 = camera.getParameters();
parameters.setPreviewSize(w, h);
camera.setParameters(parameters);
camera.startPreview();
}
#Override
public void draw(Canvas canvas) {
super.draw(canvas);
Paint p= new Paint(Color.RED);
Log.d(TAG,"draw");
canvas.drawText("PREVIEW", canvas.getWidth()/2, canvas.getHeight()/2, p );
}
}

Android Camera Saving Internally

My problem is the following one, I need to save a picture of my camera application into the gallery so far couldnt achieve it, any guess where is wrong? Only posting the most importants parts... Help me, please!
When the take picture button is pressed
public class CameraActivity extends Activity {
private Camera mCamera;
private CameraPreview mPreview;
private String TAG = "CameraActivity";
public static final int MEDIA_TYPE_IMAGE = 1;
#Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_camera);
// Create an instance of Camera
mCamera = getCameraInstance();
// Create our Preview view and set it as the content of our activity.
mPreview = new CameraPreview(this, mCamera);
FrameLayout preview = (FrameLayout) findViewById(R.id.camera_preview);
preview.addView(mPreview);
Button clickButton = (Button) findViewById(R.id.button_capture);
clickButton.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(View v) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
mCamera.startPreview();
//mCamera.setPreviewCallback(null);
mCamera.takePicture(null, null, mPicture);
}
});
}
private PictureCallback mPicture = new PictureCallback() {
#Override
public void onPictureTaken(byte[] data, Camera camera) {
File pictureFile = getOutputMediaFile(MEDIA_TYPE_IMAGE);
try {
FileOutputStream fos = new FileOutputStream(pictureFile);
fos.write(data);
fos.close();
} catch (FileNotFoundException e) {
//Log.d(TAG, "File not found: " + e.getMessage());
} catch (IOException e) {
//Log.d(TAG, "Error accessing file: " + e.getMessage());
}
}
};
public static Camera getCameraInstance() {
Camera c = null;
try {
c = Camera.open(); // attempt to get a Camera instance
}
catch (Exception e){
// Camera is not available (in use or does not exist)
} return c; // returns null if camera is unavailable }
}
private static File getOutputMediaFile(int type){
File dir = Environment.getExternalStoragePublicDirectory(Environment.DIRECTORY_PICTURES);
String timeStamp = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyyMMdd_HHmmss").format(new Date());
File mediaFile = new File(dir.getPath() + File.separator + "IMG_"+ timeStamp + ".jpg");
return mediaFile;
}
}
Finding the path to save internally
public class CameraPreview extends SurfaceView implements SurfaceHolder.Callback {
private SurfaceHolder mHolder;
private Camera mCamera;
public CameraPreview(Context context, Camera camera) {
super(context);
mCamera = camera;
// 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);
}
public void surfaceCreated(SurfaceHolder holder) {
// The Surface has been created, now tell the camera where to draw the preview.
try {
mCamera.setPreviewDisplay(holder);
mCamera.startPreview();
} catch (IOException e) {
Log.d(VIEW_LOG_TAG, "Error setting camera preview: " + e.getMessage());
}
}
public void surfaceDestroyed(SurfaceHolder holder) {
mCamera.release();
// empty. Take care of releasing the Camera preview in your activity.
}
public void surfaceChanged(SurfaceHolder holder, int format, int w, int h) {
// If your preview can change or rotate, take care of those events here.
// Make sure to stop the preview before resizing or reformatting it.
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
}
// set preview size and make any resize, rotate or
// reformatting changes here
// start preview with new settings
try {
mCamera.setPreviewDisplay(mHolder);
mCamera.startPreview();
} catch (Exception e){
Log.d(VIEW_LOG_TAG, "Error starting camera preview: " + e.getMessage());
}
}
}
}
Write
mCamera.StartPreview();
before the
mCamera.takePicture(null, null, mPicture);
EDIT: Also, instead of
mCamera.takePicture(null, null, mPicture);
use
mCamera.takePicture(null, null, null, mPicture);
If that does not work, try calling with
mCamera.takePicture(null, null, null, new PictureCallBack());

camera preview is not restarting?

I am working on the camera code in android to take picture and save it on the phone. It takes the picture from phone camera and saves it on the memory card. The only problem is that the camera preview does not restart after taking the picture.
I cannot figure out the solution. Code is as follows. Suggestions are needed . . .
There are two classes in my project . . .
CAMERAACTIVITY CLASS
public class CameraActivity extends Activity
{
private static final String TAG = "CameraDemo";
Preview preview;
Button buttonClick;
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.main);
preview = new Preview(this);
((FrameLayout) findViewById(R.id.preview)).addView(preview);
buttonClick = (Button) findViewById(R.id.buttonClick);
buttonClick.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() {
public void onClick(View v) {
preview.camera.takePicture(shutterCallback, rawCallback, jpegCallback);
}
});
Log.d(TAG, "onCreate'd");
}
// Called when shutter is opened
ShutterCallback shutterCallback = new ShutterCallback() {
public void onShutter() {
Log.d(TAG, "onShutter'd");
}
};
// Handles data for raw picture
PictureCallback rawCallback = new PictureCallback() {
public void onPictureTaken(byte[] data, Camera camera) {
Log.d(TAG, "onPictureTaken - raw");
}
};
// Handles data for jpeg picture
PictureCallback jpegCallback = new PictureCallback() {
public void onPictureTaken(byte[] data, Camera camera) {
FileOutputStream outStream = null;
try {
// Write to SD Card
outStream = new FileOutputStream(String.format("/sdcard/DCIM/queries.jpg",
System.currentTimeMillis()));
outStream.write(data);
outStream.close();
Log.d(TAG, "onPictureTaken - wrote bytes: " + data.length);
} catch (FileNotFoundException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
} catch (IOException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
} finally {
}
Log.d(TAG, "onPictureTaken - jpeg");
}
};
}
Preview Class
class Preview extends SurfaceView implements SurfaceHolder.Callback{
private static final String TAG = "Preview";
SurfaceHolder mHolder; // <2>
public Camera camera; // <3>
Preview(Context context) {
super(context);
// Install a SurfaceHolder.Callback so we get notified when the
// underlying surface is created and destroyed.
mHolder = getHolder(); // <4>
mHolder.addCallback(this); // <5>
mHolder.setType(SurfaceHolder.SURFACE_TYPE_PUSH_BUFFERS); // <6>
}
// Called once the holder is ready
public void surfaceCreated(SurfaceHolder holder) { // <7>
// The Surface has been created, acquire the camera and tell it where
// to draw.
camera = Camera.open(); // <8>
try {
Camera.Parameters parameters = camera.getParameters();
parameters.set("orientation", "landscape");
camera.setParameters(parameters);
camera.setPreviewDisplay(holder);
camera.setPreviewCallback(new PreviewCallback() {
// Called for each frame previewed
public void onPreviewFrame(byte[] data, Camera camera) {
Log.d(TAG, "onPreviewFrame called at: " + System.currentTimeMillis());
Preview.this.invalidate();
}
});
} catch (IOException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
// Called when the holder is destroyed
public void surfaceDestroyed(SurfaceHolder holder) {
//Log.d(TAG,"Stopping preview in SurfaceDestroyed().");
camera.setPreviewCallback(null);
camera.stopPreview();
camera.release();
camera = null;
}
// Called when holder has changed
public void surfaceChanged(SurfaceHolder holder, int format, int w, int h) {
camera.startPreview();
}
}
The article about Camera from Android API Guide also suffers from the same problem. I could get the preview back after taking pictures by adding two more stuff like following:
1) Add external storage permission in the AndroidManifest.xml file:
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE" />
2) Start preview again by calling camera.startPreview(). In your code:
...
Log.d(TAG, "onPictureTaken - jpeg");
camera.startPreview();
....
I'm sure you'll be able to get yours to work in the same way.
Start the CAMERAACTIVITY again in onPictureTaken like this:
// Handles data for jpeg picture
PictureCallback jpegCallback = new PictureCallback() {
public void onPictureTaken(byte[] data, Camera camera) {
FileOutputStream outStream = null;
try {
// Write to SD Card
outStream = new FileOutputStream(String.format("/sdcard/DCIM/queries.jpg",
System.currentTimeMillis()));
outStream.write(data);
outStream.close();
Log.d(TAG, "onPictureTaken - wrote bytes: " + data.length);
} catch (FileNotFoundException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
} catch (IOException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
} finally {
camera.release();
camera = null;
startActivity(new Intent(CAMERAACTIVITY.this, CAMERAACTIVITY.class));
finish();
}
Log.d(TAG, "onPictureTaken - jpeg");
}
};
If you want, you can also use Thread.sleep(2000); so that, the captured image will be shown for 2 seconds and then again camera activity will start.
add
Thread.Sleep(2000);
camera.startPreview();
so that the camera will show the captured image for 2 secs and will restart the camera.

Not able to view the picture using camera API in android - screen is blank

I'm using Camera API to take a picture and save the picture in SD card.
But I'm not able to view the picture. The screen is blank.
Here is my code:
public class CameraDemo extends Activity {
private static final String TAG = "CameraDemo";
Camera camera;
CameraPreview preview;
Button buttonClick;
/** Called when the activity is first created. */
#Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.main);
preview = new CameraPreview(this);
((FrameLayout) findViewById(R.id.preview)).addView(preview);
buttonClick = (Button) findViewById(R.id.buttonClick);
buttonClick.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() {
public void onClick(View v) {
preview.camera.takePicture(shutterCallback, rawCallback,
jpegCallback);
}
});
Log.d(TAG, "onCreate'd");
}
ShutterCallback shutterCallback = new ShutterCallback() {
public void onShutter() {
Log.d(TAG, "onShutter'd");
}
};
/** Handles data for raw picture */
PictureCallback rawCallback = new PictureCallback() {
public void onPictureTaken(byte[] data, Camera camera) {
Log.d(TAG, "onPictureTaken - raw");
}
};
/** Handles data for jpeg picture */
PictureCallback jpegCallback = new PictureCallback() {
public void onPictureTaken(byte[] data, Camera camera) {
FileOutputStream outStream = null;
try {
// write to local sandbox file system
// outStream =
// CameraDemo.this.openFileOutput(String.format("%d.jpg",
// System.currentTimeMillis()), 0);
// Or write to sdcard
outStream = new FileOutputStream(String.format(
"/sdcard/%d.jpg", System.currentTimeMillis()));
outStream.write(data);
outStream.close();
Log.d(TAG, "onPictureTaken - wrote bytes: " + data.length);
} catch (FileNotFoundException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
} catch (IOException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
} finally {
}
Log.d(TAG, "onPictureTaken - jpeg");
}
};
}
And the CameraPreview class
CameraPreview(Context context) {
super(context);
// Install a SurfaceHolder.Callback so we get notified when the
// underlying surface is created and destroyed.
mHolder = getHolder();
mHolder.addCallback(this);
mHolder.setType(SurfaceHolder.SURFACE_TYPE_PUSH_BUFFERS);
}
public void surfaceCreated(SurfaceHolder holder) {
// The Surface has been created, acquire the camera and tell it where
// to draw.
camera = Camera.open();
try {
camera.setPreviewDisplay(holder);
camera.setPreviewCallback(new PreviewCallback() {
public void onPreviewFrame(byte[] data, Camera arg1) {
FileOutputStream outStream = null;
try {
outStream = new FileOutputStream(String.format(
"/sdcard/%d.jpg", System.currentTimeMillis()));
outStream.write(data);
outStream.close();
Log.d(TAG, "onPreviewFrame - wrote bytes: "
+ data.length);
} catch (FileNotFoundException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
} catch (IOException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
} finally {
}
CameraPreview.this.invalidate();
}
});
} catch (IOException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
public void surfaceDestroyed(SurfaceHolder holder) {
// Surface will be destroyed when we return, so stop the preview.
// Because the CameraDevice object is not a shared resource, it's very
// important to release it when the activity is paused.
