Disable Orientation Change
android, android-camera, camera
Solution
You have to handle configuration change for your app .
Add this line to your AndroidManifest.xml.
android:configChanges="keyboardHidden|orientation|screenSize"
This tells the system what configuration changes you are going to handle yourself - in this case by doing nothing.
Hope it helps ツ
Problem
Re-Initiating Custom Camera, while doing change in Preview modes, from Landscape to Portrait or Portrait to Landscape, my Surface class code looks like this: PreviewSurface.java:- ``` public class PreviewSurface extends SurfaceView implements SurfaceHolder.Callback { public static final String LOG_TAG = "CameraPreview"; private SurfaceHolder mSurfaceHolder; private Camera mCamera; // Constructor that obtains context and camera @SuppressWarnings("deprecation") public PreviewSurface(Context context, Camera camera) { super(context); this.mCamera = camera; this.mSurfaceHolder = this.getHolder(); this.mSurfaceHolder.addCallback(this); this.mSurfaceHolder.setType(SurfaceHolder.SURFACE_TYPE_PUSH_BUFFERS); this.mSurfaceHolder.setFixedSize(100, 100); } @Override public void surfaceCreated(SurfaceHolder surfaceHolder) { try { Camera.Parameters parameters = mCamera.getParameters(); if (this.getResources().getConfiguration().orientation != Configuration.ORIENTATION_LANDSCAPE) { parameters.set("orientation", "portrait"); mCamera.setDisplayOrientation(90); parameters.setRotation(90); mCamera.setPreviewDisplay(surfaceHolder); mCamera.startPreview(); } else { // This is an undocumented although widely known feature parameters.set("orientation", "landscape"); // For Android 2.2 and above mCamera.setDisplayOrientation(0); // Uncomment for Android 2.0 and above parameters.setRotation(0); } mCamera.setPreviewDisplay(surfaceHolder); mCamera.startPreview(); } catch (IOException e) { // left blank for now } } @Override public void surfaceDestroyed(SurfaceHolder surfaceHolder) { mCamera.stopPreview(); mCamera.release(); } @Override public void surfaceChanged(SurfaceHolder surfaceHolder, int format, int width, int height) { try { Camera.Parameters parameters = mCamera.getParameters(); if (this.getResources().getConfiguration().orientation != Configuration.ORIENTATION_LANDSCAPE) { parameters.set("orientation", "portrait"); mCamera.setDisplayOrientation(90); parameters.setRotation(90); } else { // This is an undocumented although widely known feature parameters.set("orientation", "landscape"); // For Android 2.2 and above mCamera.setDisplayOrientation(0); // Uncomment for Android 2.0 and above parameters.setRotation(0); } mCamera.setPreviewDisplay(surfaceHolder); mCamera.startPreview(); } catch (IOException e) { // left blank for now } } } ``` May i know where i am doing wrong, what i missed in my code ?
