I'm a newbie programmer for Android I was trying to start camera preview in Android on click of button. I'm trying directly to access camera hardware rather than using default camera application. Here is the code I've written
import android.app.Activity;
import android.hardware.Camera;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.util.Log;
import android.view.SurfaceHolder;
import android.view.SurfaceView;
import android.view.View;
import android.widget.Button;
import android.widget.Toast;
public class CameraHandler extends Activity {
private SurfaceView sv = null;
private SurfaceHolder previewHolder = null;
private Button btnStop;
private Button btnStart;
private Camera camera = null;
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.cameraview);
// Get the surface view from main layout
sv = (SurfaceView) findViewById(R.id.cameraSurface);
// Get the buttons from XML
btnStart = (Button) findViewById(R.id.startButton);
btnStop = (Button) findViewById(R.id.stopButton);
btnStart.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(View v) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
SurfaceHolder.Callback surfaceCallBack = new SurfaceHolder.Callback() {
#Override
public void surfaceDestroyed(SurfaceHolder holder) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
camera.release();
camera = null;
}
#Override
public void surfaceCreated(SurfaceHolder holder) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
camera = Camera.open();
try {
camera.setPreviewDisplay(previewHolder);
} catch (Throwable t) {
// TODO Auto-generated catch block
Log.e("PreviewDemo-surfaceCallback",
"Exception in setPreviewDisplay()", t);
Toast.makeText(CameraHandler.this, t.getMessage(),
Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
}
}
#Override
public void surfaceChanged(SurfaceHolder holder,
int format, int width, int height) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
Camera.Parameters parameters = camera.getParameters();
parameters.setPreviewSize(width, height);
camera.setParameters(parameters);
camera.startPreview();
}
};
// Get the surface holder from the surface view
previewHolder = sv.getHolder();
// Now add these call backs
previewHolder.addCallback(surfaceCallBack);
previewHolder.setType(SurfaceHolder.SURFACE_TYPE_PUSH_BUFFERS);
}
});
btnStop.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(View v) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
camera.stopPreview();
}
});
}
}
As you can see I'm getting surface holder from the SurfaceView in XML adding it a call back when start button is clicked. For some reason SufraceHolder callback is not getting called. But If i place this entire code directly in onCreate function it works fine i.e camera preview starts as activity is launched. Am I missing something here?
Thanks in Advance
The SurfaceView is already created by the time the button is clicked. Hence, surfaceCreated() probably will not be called.

I want to simply take a photo in android (actually with an overlay image....but do it later, I am now failing in the first step...), the log catch an error of 'start preview failed'. The following is my code:

I am making this for android gingerbread and above versions. where my target sdk is Android Kitkat.
While testing the app on gingerbread it opens the application but simply shows a white screen that is it doesnt load the layout and force closes.. please help..!!
To open the camera,use the following code appropriately:
if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.GINGERBREAD) {
Camera.CameraInfo info=new Camera.CameraInfo();
for (int i=0; i < Camera.getNumberOfCameras(); i++) {
Camera.getCameraInfo(i, info);
if (info.facing == Camera.CameraInfo.CAMERA_FACING_FRONT) {
camera=Camera.open(i);
}
}
}
if (camera == null) {
camera=Camera.open();
}
Add the SurfaceView to a FrameLayout in order to display it.
Instead of returning the Camera,you could instead use the global Camera instance variable.The camera is released in onPause like this:
mCamera.release();
mCamera=null;
//remove SurfaceView from the FrameLayout you added it to
You can retain the Camera.Parameters object and use it to set the parameters to the value by placing a check in your surfaceChanged.
You could also consider starting your Camera in a seperate Thread in onCreate as it has been done here:
//This code is from AOSP ICS:
Thread mCameraOpenThread = new Thread(new Runnable() {
public void run() {
try {
mCameraDevice = Util.openCamera(Camera.this, mCameraId);
} catch (CameraHardwareException e) {
mOpenCameraFail = true;
} catch (CameraDisabledException e) {
mCameraDisabled = true;
}
}
});
This is the onCreate method:
super.onCreate(icicle);
mCameraOpenThread.start();
SurfaceView preview = (SurfaceView) findViewById(R.id.camera_preview);
SurfaceHolder holder = preview.getHolder();
holder.addCallback(this);
holder.setType(SurfaceHolder.SURFACE_TYPE_PUSH_BUFFERS);
// Make sure camera device is opened.
try {
mCameraOpenThread.join();
mCameraOpenThread = null;
}
catch(InterruptedException e)
{
//ignore
}

I was having a similar issue, the trick is to also setup the camera inside of onResume().
The issue was that the app does not call onCreate() every time you go to an activity with the back button, sometimes it simply pauses the activity. onResume() is called whenever the activity returns to the foreground and is a more reliable place to set up the camera.
#Override
protected void onResume()
{
super.onResume();
if( camera == null )
{
camera = Camera.open();
}
}
try to put your release code in try catch block
try{
if (camera != null){
camera.setPreviewCallback(null);
camera.stopPreview();
camera.release();
}
}
I have found the solution for my own. You only need to change surfaceDestroyed method to this.
#Override
public void surfaceDestroyed(SurfaceHolder arg0) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
try{
camera.stopPreview();
camera.release();
camera = null;
}
catch(NullPointerException e){
//e.printStackTrace();
}
}
and on onRestoreInstanceState to this.
#Override
public void onRestoreInstanceState(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onRestoreInstanceState(savedInstanceState);
cameraView = null;
setupcamera();
//cameraView.reconnect();
}
There must be something I'm missing witht this CamcorderProfile as I keep getting "11-15 01:00:53.185: E/MediaRecorder(976): setOutputFormat called in an invalid state: 1

Any ideas?
Thanks!
EDIT: I might as well add that the code works just fine if I type in the codecs and such. It's just that I cant determine the best quality for some reason.
I managed to solve that one by actually starting to think for a change...
When you look at the MediaRecorder flow chart the first thing you see is the AudioSource and VideoSource defined. Moreover, those 2 are obviously NOT defined when using a CamcorderProfile. Yet after defining those 2 lines MediaRecorder still refused to start. What was missing here is "camera.unlock()" as my camera was "taken" sort of speak on previous tests.

you should not specify '/mnt/whatever/' path to your sdcard, use getExternalFilesDir() to get the correct path.
your callback is not called, unless you specify it in mCamera.takePicture(null, null, jpeg);
do you really have
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE">
in your AndroidManifest.xml file?
