Below is my code but there is some error when i open camera appear and immediately disappear. How to hold on the camera view for a bit longer.?

1.MainActivity.java file
I think the error got at this line
public void surfaceDestroyed(SurfaceHolder holder) {
cameraSource.stop()
I'm trying to open the camera and display using SurfaceView. This delays the loading of the activity for a really long time. So I'm wondering what are the best practices of opening the camera.
package com.example.software2.ocrhy;
public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity {
private TextView textView;
private SurfaceView surfaceView;
private CameraSource cameraSource;
private TextRecognizer textRecognizer;
private TextToSpeech textToSpeech;
private String stringResult = null;
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
ActivityCompat.requestPermissions(this, new String[]{CAMERA}, PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED);
textToSpeech = new TextToSpeech(this, new TextToSpeech.OnInitListener() {
#Override
public void onInit(int status) {
}
});
}
#Override
protected void onDestroy() {
super.onDestroy();
cameraSource.release();
}
private void textRecognizer(){
textRecognizer = new TextRecognizer.Builder(getApplicationContext()).build();
cameraSource = new CameraSource.Builder(getApplicationContext(), textRecognizer)
.setRequestedPreviewSize(1280, 1024)
.build();
surfaceView = findViewById(R.id.surfaceView);
surfaceView.getHolder().addCallback(new SurfaceHolder.Callback() {
#SuppressLint("MissingPermission")
#Override
public void surfaceCreated(SurfaceHolder holder) {
try {
cameraSource.start(surfaceView.getHolder());
} catch (IOException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
#Override
public void surfaceChanged(SurfaceHolder holder, int format, int width, int height) {
}
#Override
public void surfaceDestroyed(SurfaceHolder holder) {
cameraSource.stop();
}
});
textRecognizer.setProcessor(new Detector.Processor<TextBlock>() {
#Override
public void release() {
}
#Override
public void receiveDetections(Detector.Detections<TextBlock> detections) {
SparseArray<TextBlock> sparseArray = detections.getDetectedItems();
StringBuilder stringBuilder = new StringBuilder();
for (int i = 0; i<sparseArray.size(); ++i){
TextBlock textBlock = sparseArray.valueAt(i);
if (textBlock != null && textBlock.getValue() !=null){
stringBuilder.append(textBlock.getValue() + " ");
}
}
final String stringText = stringBuilder.toString();
Handler handler = new Handler(Looper.getMainLooper());
handler.post(() -> {
stringResult = stringText;
resultObtained();
});
}
});
}
private void resultObtained(){
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
textView = findViewById(R.id.textView);
textView.setText(stringResult);
textToSpeech.speak(stringResult, TextToSpeech.QUEUE_FLUSH, null, null);
}

error got in camera activity

According to your source code, your camera starts reading the text immediately. If you want to first see your text on your camera and only then start reading it we can break down it to following steps:
Open your camera
Navigate to specific text
Finally when you see via your camera the text what you want to read it
I suggest you to do small modifications on your code
Add Capture button on your surfaceview.xml (for example in a code below)
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<androidx.constraintlayout.widget.ConstraintLayout
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"

android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent">
<SurfaceView
android:id="#+id/surfaceView"
android:layout_width="308dp"
android:layout_height="503dp"
android:layout_marginStart="64dp"
android:layout_marginTop="32dp"
app:layout_constraintStart_toStartOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintTop_toTopOf="parent" />
<Button
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
app:layout_constraintBottom_toBottomOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintStart_toStartOf="parent"
android:id="#+id/capture"
android:layout_marginHorizontal="32dp"
android:layout_marginBottom="32dp"
android:text="Capture"
app:layout_constraintEnd_toEndOf="parent"/>
</androidx.constraintlayout.widget.ConstraintLayout>
Move out text processing to separate function
private void capture() {
textRecognizer.setProcessor(new Detector.Processor<TextBlock>() {
#Override
public void release() {
}
#Override
public void receiveDetections(Detector.Detections<TextBlock> detections) {
SparseArray<TextBlock> sparseArray = detections.getDetectedItems();
StringBuilder stringBuilder = new StringBuilder();
for (int i = 0; i<sparseArray.size(); ++i){
TextBlock textBlock = sparseArray.valueAt(i);
if (textBlock != null && textBlock.getValue() !=null){
stringBuilder.append(textBlock.getValue() + " ");
}
}
final String stringText = stringBuilder.toString();
Handler handler = new Handler(Looper.getMainLooper());
handler.post(new Runnable() {
#Override
public void run() {
stringResult = stringText;
resultObtained();
}
});
}
});
}
Capture your text on capture button click
public void buttonStart(View view){
setContentView(R.layout.surfaceview);
Button capture = findViewById(R.id.capture);
capture.setOnClickListener(v -> capture());
textRecognizer();
}

Send button crash the application

This application is to send a text message through Wi-Fi direct Api. i used build-in API for that. code is running, discovering the devices also but problem while sending message when press send button
I've tried this solution also:
App crash while sending data over a socket using WifiP2p connection
but still application crash whenever press send button.

And my question is it is possible to make the surface View send data to server when the picture captured every 5 second?
If possible what method must i use or function?
Thank You before.

If you are extending SurfaceView, use this method inside your class.
public Bitmap getBitmap() {
setDrawingCacheEnabled(true);
buildDrawingCache(true);
final Bitmap bitmap = Bitmap.createBitmap(getDrawingCache());
setDrawingCacheEnabled(false);
destroyDrawingCache();
return bitmap;
}
Without extending, it would look like this:
public Bitmap getBitmap(SurfaceView surfaceView) {
surfaceView.setDrawingCacheEnabled(true);
surfaceView.buildDrawingCache(true);
final Bitmap bitmap = Bitmap.createBitmap(surfaceView.getDrawingCache());
surfaceView.setDrawingCacheEnabled(false);
surfaceView.destroyDrawingCache();
return bitmap;
}
I haven't tested it without extending SurfaceView.

Not Showing camera on button Click in emulator

I'am trying to create an application whose purpose is to take picture on a button click.i am using an emulator to run the app. but the problem now is, when I click on the button nothing happens.
if anyone knows the solution please help.

Extending my Android Radio Application

Recently, I uploaded simple Radio Application to the Google Play Store. And it has kinda a lot of downloaders. But it was really simple and I want to extend that Radio App to the next level. What it has for now is only ONE radio station to choose. No next, no previous buttons to choose from more Radio Stations. What I really want to do is to extend it so the user can listen for more Radio Stations(not one, but about 6 more or so). So maybe I need to add Previous and Next buttons to the app so the user can actually do that. But there is a problem - I don't know how to do this.

I actually didn't write all the code and that's why I can't get my head straight to the problem solution. I just extended given code for my needs but now I don't really now how to implement Previous and Next buttons to navigate through different Radio Stations. What I want from you guys is to maybe give me some ideas or just set me on the road how can I add this functionality to this app. How can I get more than one stream (in this case from SHOUTcast) and add this navigation through them. I hope I didn't breaking the StackOverflow rules of asking this kind of question. Thank you and appreciate any help.
UPDATE:
In the MainActivity:
static String radioTitle = "RadioStation1";
static String radioStreamURL = "http://108.61.73.117:8124";
static String radioTitle2 = "RadioStation2";
static String radioStreamURL2 = "http://108.61.73.117:8124";
static String radioTitle3 = "RadioStation3";
static String radioStreamURL3 = "http://108.61.73.117:8124";
...........
nextButton.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(View v) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
}
});
prevButton.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(View v) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
}
});
And the RadioService class:
private String radioStreamURL = MainActivity.radioStreamURL;
private String radioStreamURL2 = MainActivity.radioStreamURL2;
private String radioStreamURL3 = MainActivity.radioStreamURL3;
...............
public void prepare() {
/* Prepare Async Task - starts buffering */
try {
mediaPlayer.setDataSource(radioStreamURL);
mediaPlayer.setDataSource(radioStreamURL2);
mediaPlayer.setDataSource(radioStreamURL3);
mediaPlayer.prepareAsync();
} catch (IllegalArgumentException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
} catch (IllegalStateException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
} catch (IOException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}

Look at your method at RadioService.java
public void prepare() {
/* Prepare Async Task - starts buffering */
try {
mediaPlayer.setDataSource(radioStreamURL);
mediaPlayer.prepareAsync();
} catch (IllegalArgumentException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
} catch (IllegalStateException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
} catch (IOException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
Here you set the URL to your radio stream, the fast way to change your code without knowing all your code is to alter radioStreamURL variable.
private String radioStreamURL = MainActivity.radioStreamURL;
If you have some static information about the radios you want to use, just change this String to a List and add all the Radio's URL you want.
Add a Next and Preview button to your layout, set the listener to call your RadioService with this function, something like this:
MainActivity
private static int station = 0;//Not right, just to show
public void onNextStationClicked(){
radioServiceBinder.changeStation(++station);
}
RadioService
public static final String MODE_STATION_CHANGE = "STATION_CHANGE";
public void changeStation(int stationIndex){
radioStreamURL = MainActivity.radioStreamURL.get(stationIndex);
stop();
play();
}
This is just an idea, the code isn't the best but with a little work should work...
UPDATE
Try change your code to this:
RadioService
private List<String> radioStreamURL = new ArrayList<String>
private int radioStreamingIndex = 0;
then on your constructor add this
#Override
public void onCreate() {
radioStreamURL.add(radioStreamURL);
radioStreamURL.add(radioStreamURL2);
radioStreamURL.add(radioStreamURL3);
// etc
}
public void prepare() {
/* Prepare Async Task - starts buffering */
try {
mediaPlayer.setDataSource(radioStreamURL.get(radioStreamingIndex));
mediaPlayer.prepareAsync();
} catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
public void nextStation(){
changeStation(radioStreamingIndex+1);
}
public void prevStation(){
changeStation(radioStreamingIndex-1);
}
private void changeStation(int stationIndex){
if(stationIndex > 0 && stationIndex < radioStreamURL.size()){
radioStreamingIndex = stationIndex;
stop();
play();
}
}
MainActivity
nextButton.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(View v) {
radioServiceBinder.nextStation();
}
});
prevButton.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(View v) {
radioServiceBinder.prevStation();
}
});

I am not too experience in Android development, but you may need a complex algorithm developed if you would like to follow Spotify and Pandora's steps in the sense that the radio stations are created in relation to the listener's genre, etc.
