Preview size for barcode scanner from vision api

Question

I'm using the barcode-reader example from Google's Android Vision API. The preview size doesn't seem to fill up the whole space available (I'm using a Nexus 4 and there is a white unused space to the right of preview, about 1/3 of the width).

I would like to be able to run this example on various devices and always have it fill up the whole space available.

So the bit I've been playing with is:

CameraSource.Builder builder = new CameraSource.Builder(getApplicationContext(), barcodeDetector).setFacing(CameraSource.CAMERA_FACING_BACK).setRequestedPreviewSize(?, ?).setRequestedFps(15.0f);

Any ideas?

Thanks!

just remove or comment below code from CameraSourcePreview class

if (childHeight > layoutHeight) {
    childHeight = layoutHeight;
    childWidth = (int)(((float) layoutHeight / (float) height) * width);
}

and use layoutHeight instead of childHeight of "CameraSourcePreview" class in this loop - for (int i = 0; i < getChildCount(); ++i){...}

if (mCameraSource != null)
    {
        Size size = mCameraSource.getPreviewSize();
        if (size != null)
        {
            width = size.getWidth();
            height = size.getHeight();
        }
    }

    // Swap width and height sizes when in portrait, since it will be rotated 90 degrees
    if (isPortraitMode())
    {
        int tmp = width;

        //noinspection SuspiciousNameCombination
        width = height;
        height = tmp;
    }

    final int layoutWidth = right - left;
    final int layoutHeight = bottom - top;

    // Computes height and width for potentially doing fit width.
    int childWidth = layoutWidth;
    int childHeight = (int) (((float) layoutWidth / (float) width) * height);

    for (int i = 0; i < getChildCount(); ++i)
    {
        getChildAt(i).layout(0, 0, childWidth, layoutHeight);
    }

    try
    {
        startIfReady();
    }
    catch (SecurityException se)
    {
        Log.e(TAG, "Do not have permission to start the camera", se);
    }
    catch (IOException e)
    {
        Log.e(TAG, "Could not start camera source.", e);
    }
}
