How to capture preview image frames from Camera Ap

问题:

I am writing an app to capture the camera preview frames and convert it to bitmap in Android. Here is my code:

   Camera.PreviewCallback previewCallback = new Camera.PreviewCallback()  
    { 
            public void onPreviewFrame(byte[] data, Camera camera)  
            { 
                    try 
                    { 
                            BitmapFactory.Options opts = new BitmapFactory.Options(); 
                            Bitmap bitmap = BitmapFactory.decodeByteArray(data, 0, data.length);//,opts); 
                    } 
                    catch(Exception e) 
                    {

                    } 
            } 

    }; 

    mCamera = Camera.open();
    mCamera.setPreviewCallback(previewCallback); 

After I start preview, the callback got called with data, but the bitmap is null.

What did I do wrong when convert the byte array to BitMap?

In the onPreviewFrame() function, you should check the image format first.
This the NV21 example.

public void onPreviewFrame(byte[] data, Camera camera) 
{
    Parameters parameters = camera.getParameters();
    imageFormat = parameters.getPreviewFormat();
    if (imageFormat == ImageFormat.NV21)
    {
        Rect rect = new Rect(0, 0, PreviewSizeWidth, PreviewSizeHeight); 
        YuvImage img = new YuvImage(data, ImageFormat.NV21, PreviewSizeWidth, PreviewSizeHeight, null);
        OutputStream outStream = null;
        File file = new File(NowPictureFileName);
        try 
        {
            outStream = new FileOutputStream(file);
            img.compressToJpeg(rect, 100, outStream);
            outStream.flush();
            outStream.close();
        } 
        catch (FileNotFoundException e) 
        {
            e.printStackTrace();
        }
        catch (IOException e) 
        {
            e.printStackTrace();
        }
    }
}

回答2:

Have you tried decoding the preview frame data to RGB before you use BitmapFactory? The default format is YUV which I'm not sure is compatible with BitmapFactory. Dave Manpearl's decode method can be found here:

Let me know if it works.
