Custom camera android
I want to use camera preview in an activity. I want to add images(transparent frames on surface view). I tried following code so that i can easily customize the xml layout desirably:
package com.demo;
import java.io.IOException;
import android.app.Activity;
import android.graphics.PixelFormat;
import android.hardware.Camera;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.view.SurfaceHolder;
import android.view.SurfaceView;
import android.widget.Toast;
public class CameraDemoActivity extends Activity implements SurfaceHolder.Callback{
/** Called when the activity is first created. */
Camera camera;
SurfaceView surfaceView;
SurfaceHolder surfaceHolder;
@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.main);
getWindow().setFormat(PixelFormat.UNKNOWN);
surfaceView = (SurfaceView)findViewById(R.id.surfaceview);
surfaceHolder = surfaceView.getHolder();
surfaceHolder.addCallback(this);
surfaceHolder.setType(SurfaceHolder.SURFACE_TYPE_PUSH_BUFFERS);
camera = Camera.open();
if(camera!=null){
try {
camera.setPreviewDisplay(surfaceHolder);
camera.startPreview();
} catch (IOException e) {
Toast.makeText(this, (CharSequence) e, Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
}
}
}
@Override
public void surfaceChanged(SurfaceHolder holder, int format, int width,
int height) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
}
@Override
public void surfaceCreated(SurfaceHolder holder) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
}
@Override
public void surfaceDestroyed(SurfaceHolder holder) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
}
}
Here is my manifest:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
package="com.demo"
android:versionCode="1"
android:versionName="1.0">
<uses-sdk android:minSdkVersion="8" />
<application android:icon="@drawable/icon" android:label="@string/app_name">
<activity android:name=".CameraDemoActivity"
android:label="@string/app_name" android:screenOrientation="portrait">
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
</intent-filter>
</activity>
</application>
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.CAMERA"/>
<uses-feature android:name="android:hardware.camera" />
<uses-feature android:name="android.hardware.camera.autofocus" />
</manifest>
And here is my layout:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:orientation="vertical"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
>
<SurfaceView
android:id="@+id/surfaceview"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"/>
</LinearLayout>
Dont know why preview of camera is not displaying?
Answer
Use this code
PreviewDemo.java
public class PreviewDemo extends Activity implements OnClickListener {
private SurfaceView preview = null;
private SurfaceHolder previewHolder = null;
private Camera camera = null;
private boolean inPreview = false;
ImageView image;
Bitmap bmp, itembmp;

float oldDist = 1f;
File imageFileName = null;

private MediaScannerConnection msConn;
Display d;
int screenhgt, screenwdh;
ProgressDialog dialog;
@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {

}
@Override

Use device Menu button to take picture.
Add the permissions in Manifest file
Check Rotate folder in Gallery for the captured image.
