I want to set the camera orientation according to the device orientation in Android but nothing seems to be working. I tried to rotate the Surface as well as the camera parameters but the camera preview in portrait mode always comes upside down. I would need to rotate it by 90 degree clockwise for it to be correct. Here is the code I am using right now which works in landscape mode only.
SurfaceHolder.Callback surfaceCallback = new SurfaceHolder.Callback() {
@Override
public void surfaceDestroyed(SurfaceHolder holder) {
camera.stopPreview();
camera.release();
camera = null;
}
@Override
public void surfaceCreated(SurfaceHolder holder) {
initCamera();
}
private Size getOptimalPreviewSize(List<Size> sizes, int w, int h) {
final double ASPECT_TOLERANCE = 0.2;
double targetRatio = (double) w / h;
if (sizes == null)
return null;
Size optimalSize = null;
double minDiff = Double.MAX_VALUE;
int targetHeight = h;
// Try to find an size match aspect ratio and size
for (Size size : sizes) {
Log.d(TAG, "Checking size " + size.width + "w " + size.height
+ "h");
double ratio = (double) size.width / size.height;
if (Math.abs(ratio - targetRatio) > ASPECT_TOLERANCE)
continue;
if (Math.abs(size.height - targetHeight) < minDiff) {
optimalSize = size;
minDiff = Math.abs(size.height - targetHeight);
}
}
// Cannot find the one match the aspect ratio, ignore the
// requirement
if (optimalSize == null) {
minDiff = Double.MAX_VALUE;
for (Size size : sizes) {
if (Math.abs(size.height - targetHeight) < minDiff) {
optimalSize = size;
minDiff = Math.abs(size.height - targetHeight);
}
}
}
return optimalSize;
}
@Override
public void surfaceChanged(SurfaceHolder holder, int format, int width, int height) {
Camera.Parameters parameters = camera.getParameters();
List<Size> sizes = parameters.getSupportedPreviewSizes();
Size optimalSize = getOptimalPreviewSize(sizes, width, height);
Log.d(TAG, "Surface size is " + width + "w " + height + "h");
Log.d(TAG, "Optimal size is " + optimalSize.width + "w " + optimalSize.height + "h");
parameters.setPreviewSize(optimalSize.width, optimalSize.height);
// parameters.setPreviewSize(width, height);
camera.setParameters(parameters);
camera.startPreview();
}
};
