Android Camera2 API YUV_420_888 to JPEG

Question

I'm getting preview frames using OnImageAvailableListener:

@Override
public void onImageAvailable(ImageReader reader) {
    Image image = null;
    try {
        image = reader.acquireLatestImage();
        Image.Plane[] planes = image.getPlanes();
        ByteBuffer buffer = planes[0].getBuffer();
        byte[] data = new byte[buffer.capacity()];
        buffer.get(data);
        //data.length=332803; width=3264; height=2448
        Log.e(TAG, "data.length=" + data.length + "; width=" + image.getWidth() + "; height=" + image.getHeight());
        //TODO data processing
    } catch (Exception e) {
        e.printStackTrace();
    }
    if (image != null) {
        image.close();
    }
}

Each time length of data is different but image width and height are the same.
Main problem: data.length is too small for such resolution as 3264x2448.
Size of data array should be 3264*2448=7,990,272, not 300,000 - 600,000.
What is wrong?

imageReader = ImageReader.newInstance(3264, 2448, ImageFormat.JPEG, 5);

Answer 1

I solved this problem by using YUV_420_888 image format and converting it to JPEG image format manually.

imageReader = ImageReader.newInstance(MAX_PREVIEW_WIDTH, MAX_PREVIEW_HEIGHT, 
                                      ImageFormat.YUV_420_888, 5);
imageReader.setOnImageAvailableListener(this, null);

Surface imageSurface = imageReader.getSurface();
List<Surface> surfaceList = new ArrayList<>();
//...add other surfaces
previewRequestBuilder = cameraDevice.createCaptureRequest(CameraDevice.TEMPLATE_PREVIEW);
previewRequestBuilder.addTarget(imageSurface);
            surfaceList.add(imageSurface);
cameraDevice.createCaptureSession(surfaceList,
                    new CameraCaptureSession.StateCallback() {
//...implement onConfigured, onConfigureFailed for StateCallback
}, null);

@Override
public void onImageAvailable(ImageReader reader) {
    Image image = reader.acquireLatestImage();
    if (image != null) {
        //converting to JPEG
        byte[] jpegData = ImageUtils.imageToByteArray(image);
        //write to file (for example ..some_path/frame.jpg)
        FileManager.writeFrame(FILE_NAME, jpegData);
        image.close();
    }
}
