The Problem:
In using the camera on the device, I'm getting a number of errors. I have looked over many answers here on StackOverflow and I have tried many solutions to no avail. I'm not sure what the problem is. I have tried this on two different devices and I'm getting the same errors. This is failing on multiple devices... Samsung Galaxy S7 and a Vankyo Z4 Tablet. The logs are from the tablet.

As can be seen from the log, when the orientation changes, surfaceChanged callback gets called twice. The first time, I get the setDisplayOrientation failed. I'm not sure why I'm getting setPreviewTexture failed because I'm not even using TextureView. I also don't know why I'm getting Error 2 for the camera either. I have tried several solutions that I found here and elsewhere to no avail. Here's the code in question:
@Override
public void surfaceChanged(SurfaceHolder holder, int format, int width, int height) {
Display display;
int rotation;
int degrees = 0;
int result;
// If the holder is null, then just return.
if (mHolder.getSurface() == null) {
return;
}
// Stop the preview.
try {
if (isPreviewRunning) {
mCamera.stopPreview();
isPreviewRunning = false;
}
} catch (Exception e) {
Log.d("Camera", "Stop Preview Failed: " + e.getMessage());
}
// Check the device orientation.
display = ((WindowManager) getContext().getSystemService(Context.WINDOW_SERVICE)).getDefaultDisplay();
rotation = display.getRotation();
switch (rotation) {
case Surface.ROTATION_0:
Log.d("Camera", "Rotate 0");
degrees = 0;
break;
case Surface.ROTATION_90:
Log.d("Camera", "Rotate 90");
degrees = 90;
break;
case Surface.ROTATION_180:
Log.d("Camera", "Rotate 180");
degrees = 180;
break;
case Surface.ROTATION_270:
Log.d("Camera", "Rotate 270");
degrees = 270;
break;
}
if (cameraInfo.facing == Camera.CameraInfo.CAMERA_FACING_FRONT) {
result = (cameraInfo.orientation + degrees) % 360;
result = (360 - result) % 360; // compensate the mirror
} else { // back-facing
result = (cameraInfo.orientation - degrees + 360) % 360;
}
// Not sure why this fails. No reason given.
try {
mCamera.setDisplayOrientation(result);
} catch (Exception e) {
Log.d("Camera", "setDisplayOrientation Failed: " + e.getMessage());
}
// Restart the preview with the new changes.
try {
mCamera.setPreviewDisplay(holder);
mCamera.startPreview();
isPreviewRunning = true;
} catch (IOException e) {
Log.d("Camera", e.getMessage());
}
}
Despite the errors, it does work. So should I just ignore the errors or continue to try to fix them? I am writing for API level 19. I know that Camera was depreciated in API 21, but older devices are still out there and I want this code to run on those as well. As for the research, there seems to be two main solutions. I have tried both and they do not work. The one with the getParameters is telling me that getParameters failed that it returned null, which should not happen, but it does.
