I was trying to create a simple camera application for research. I Read Android Camera Official Document and then started coding. so I did some steps to get it work
1.Added required permissions for Camera feature in app.
2.locked my activity to PORTRAIT mode only.
setRequestedOrientation(ActivityInfo.SCREEN_ORIENTATION_PORTRAIT);
3.Added several camera callbacks to get my camera works.
- SurfaceHolder.Callback,
- Camera.PreviewCallback
- AutoFocusCallback
- ShutterCallback
- PictureCallback for RAW image data
- PictureCallback for JPG image data
4.In surfaceChanged method I am customizing camera settings. and so far I got working this for almost all android devices
- LG
- Spice
- Samsung
- HTC
- Micromax
- Sony
- Motorola
- Google Nexus series.
But then I tested on Samsung Galaxy ACE with Android Version 2.3.6 and found Camera Display Preview is Rotated to landscape mode.
So after putting log-cat/break points I come to know that below methods are not working for this particular model
//This method is not working for Samsung Galaxy ACE
camera.setDisplayOrientation(90);
//or
parameters.set("orientation", "portrait");
//or
parameters.setRotation(90);
Note: I Hunted bunch of solutions over Google and SO as well but so far didn't get any luck in this
- Issus reported here
- android camera surfaceview orientation
- Android portrait locked Camera Preview
- Android - Camera preview is sideways
- Android camera rotate
- Android: Camera preview Rotated
- How to set Android camera orientation properly?
For your reference My sample code is below
@Override
public void surfaceChanged(SurfaceHolder arg0, int arg1, int arg2, int arg3) {
Log.v(TAG, "surfaceChanged get called");
if (previewing) {
camera.stopPreview();
previewing = false;
}
if (camera != null) {
try {
Camera.Parameters parameters = camera.getParameters();
List<Size> sizes = parameters.getSupportedPictureSizes();
Camera.Size result = null;
for (int i = 0; i < sizes.size(); i++) {
result = (Size) sizes.get(i);
Log.i("PictureSize", "Supported Size. Width: "
+ result.width + "height : " + result.height);
if (result.width == 640) {
parameters.setPreviewSize(result.width, result.height);// 640*480
parameters.setPictureSize(result.width, result.height);
} else {
}
}

Edit : I have posted Comment on Developer forum but no response.
Please!! Someone have any Idea regarding this problem.
I would really appreciate for any kind of suggestion.
