I'm building an app for Android but The device do have a square screen. The screen is 320x320 and the camera app use the SurfaceView to show the preview as below :
mCameraView = (SurfaceView) findViewById(R.id.surface);
LayoutParams params = mCameraView.getLayoutParams();
int camera_dimension = getResources().getInteger(R.integer.camera_dimension);
params.height = camera_dimension; //320px
params.width = camera_dimension;
mCameraView.setLayoutParams(params);
mCameraViewHolder = mCameraView.getHolder();
mCameraViewHolder.addCallback(this);
mCameraViewHolder.setType(SurfaceHolder.SURFACE_TYPE_PUSH_BUFFERS);
On Surface changed, I'm doing this and it works but the supporter preview is w480 x h320
public void surfaceChanged(SurfaceHolder holder, int format, int w, int h) {
int mWidth = w;
int mHeight = h;
int mFormat = format;
try {
mCameraAccess.mCamera.stopPreview();
} catch (Exception e){
// ignore: tried to stop a non-existent preview
}
Camera.Parameters param = mCameraAccess.mCamera.getParameters();
List<Camera.Size> SupportedPreview = param.getSupportedPreviewSizes();
int ScreenSize = getResources().getInteger(R.integer.camera_dimension);
for (int i = 0; i < SupportedPreview.size(); i++) {
if (SupportedPreview.get(i).height == ScreenSize) {
param.setPreviewSize(SupportedPreview.get(i).width, SupportedPreview.get(i).height);
break;
}
}
mCameraAccess.mCamera.setParameters(param);
mCameraAccess.mCamera.startPreview();
}
How can make sure that my preview inside the viewholder is not compressed but a kind of centercrop. As the preview is a rectangle, I just need the square centered on the image. Usually I'm using scaleType but it's not supported in Surface view
Any idea ?
