When do you expect it to get fixed? I am a developer working on http://layar.eu and I had to go through lot of trouble to get the app working in portrait mode with camera preview, using a LOT of rotations. I have managed to get everything rotated to portrait except for the on screen inputmethod which still shows up in landscape. Do you have any suggestions for rotating that?

I'd like my app to run on both Android versions 2.1 and 2.2. In one area of my app, there is a portrait-style camera - the process for producing a portrait camera preview is different (as far as I know) on the two OS versions. Here is how:
2.1:
Camera.Parameters parameters = camera.getParameters();
parameters.set("orientation", "portrait");
camera.setParameters(parameters);
2.2:
camera.setDisplayOrientation(90);
The setDisplayOrientation(int) method became available in API Level 8 (2.2) and, so, cannot be used on 2.1; however, using the 2.1 (Camera.Parameters) method does not rotate the preview and image correctly on 2.2. It seems odd that this incompatibility exists - is there a more correct way to do this that will allow me to target both platforms?
I am trying to use Camera to take picture and to video recording but it always runs in portrait mode. Even if I tried to sreenOrientatiton="landscape" it solved screen appearance but when I take photo and capture video they are still saved rotated 90 degrees.

This is the code I'm testing with, which was taken from the sample code. It is using supplemental code supplied by Wu-Cheng, but its still throwing an error.

In my Application the camera preview is working properly in both in portrait and in landscape mode. No crashes are occurring, but the users are complaining that the crashes are occurring when they are using the same.

View 3 Replies View Relatedthere are those of us, who due to whatever reason (helmet cams, preference for posture, etc) want to record videos in portrait mode.
What happens (on my sgs2) is that the video records just fine in whatever resolution I pick... but it records it 90 degrees rotated to the right.
The solution that is usually offered is that "you can rotate it after!" yes... but then you have to CROP part of the image and lower the resolution. 1920 x 1080 recordings end up having to be cropped so that half of the view is cut out , or even more if you are maintaining a real aspect ratio.
The questions about "why not just hold it sideways", are just as pointless as the statement by steve jobs telling iphone4 users that they were holding their phones wrong.
is this something that can be remedied ? or has google decided that people should only record videos when their phones are in landscape mode?
i understand that we cant see landscape resolution in portrait mode; but can't we just have a viewport into the camera, but record in properly oriented landscape mode? so that playback on a computer will show the full resolution, even though we will only see part of it on the phone..

View 2 Replies View RelatedWhen we try to implement orientation in AP layer, we can set "android:screenOrientation" parameter in AndroidManifest.xml file or call "setRequestOrientation()" method of Activity class. But if I want to porting android in new HW device, how can I do? Do I need to modify the graphic driver, or just add configuration in program. (Actually I do some experiments but my AP cannot rotate) Besides, can every experts tell me when I set the "android:screenOrientation" parameter, which process will read this configuration, pass to where and which process will do the rotation?
View 2 Replies View RelatedIs there always a concept of portrait mode for devices? If so, can we get what the height of the device is in portrait mode? I'm using this: DisplayMetrics dm = new DisplayMetrics(); getWindowManager().getDefaultDisplay().getMetrics(dm); but width and height get swapped depending on orientation of the G1.

I have to create a bitmap (which is zoomable) and I just want to get a rough idea what the tallest height should be. getResources().getDisplayMetrics().heightPixels; does the above return the height, in portrait mode only? I'm not binding my UI to this absolute value, it's just a rough fit.

I upgraded to the 2.0 SDK yesterday. Don't know if that has anything to do with it. I can't get the Camera Preview example from the API Demos to work. I get the same error in both my emulator and on my G1:

Is it possible to capture an image without showing the camera preview?, i have a requirement that i should be able to capture the image from a thread or from a service, without disturbing the foreground application, where i do not want to show the camera preview, but still i want to capture the image in background and store it in the device. So is it possible to do using the Android 2.2 SDK version?

View 2 Replies View RelatedI see a couple of threads on this topic, but none of them seem to answer the question, so, I'm giving it another go...
Very simple idea... I want to some portion of the screen to preview (and shoot) the camera and the other portions of the screen to add my own graphical elements (buttons, colorful frame around the camera preview, etc).
The example that comes with Android fills the screen. The obvious solution (that doesn't seem to be working) is to use my own SurfaceView (rather than the one they do in the example) and have it sitting in my XML. The code (beneath) doesn't crash and reports that it's firing up the camera... it just never renders on the screen.
I have no idea what I'm doing incorrectly. My guess is that it has something to do with the display thread never having the urge to redraw anything after it renders the initial screen, but I even tried adding a button and initiating the camera to render on the surface view upon button click, but that has not provoked it any further.
(most of this code is pulled directly out of the Android sample code, so, I'm sure it's correct. I'm just doing something wrong in how I pull my View in after the fact, I think).
CODE:........................
My camera stopped working. When I click my camera application I get the message "The application camera (process com.android.camera) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again". It's just a blank screen?
View 3 Replies View RelatedI have written a small example which displays the photos from the server. Its working fine when the device is in one of the mode (landscape of potrait). But if I switch to landscape to potrait or potrait to landscape while downloading the photos from the server, I am getting NullPointerException, showing with androidRunTimeException.
I am using LinearLayout -> ImageView
I am using threads to download the images.
Let's say in my example I am working with SurfaceView for my CameraSurfaceView. I have a few questions, hope you can help me.
1. When this SurfaceView gets created (I assume via final CameraSurfaceView cameraView = new CameraSurfaceView (getApplicationContext()), this will result in a call createSurface() in SurfaceFlinger with format, width and height. Am I correct?
Is this SurfaceView also my UI window if I want to draw anything? I thought if I call setType(PUSH_BUFFER) on this surface, I won't be able to do any drawing on this surface.
2. How does the application pass these information like format, width and height to SurfaceFlinger for the allocation? Is it by using .setFormat, .setFixedSize?
3. How do they methods .setFormat, .setFixedSize related to the surfaceHolder.surfaceChanged() callback?
