I'm trying to build a custom Camera in Android without using the Camera API (Using intents). I have a MainActivity.java, I need to call the CameraPreview class in order to see the camera preview, but I don't know how to call that class.
I tried
public CameraPreview cameraPreview;
and later
mPreview = new CameraPreview(this, mCamera);
if(hasCamera) {
// Create an instance of Camera
mCamera = getCameraInstance();
// Create our Preview view and set it as the content of our activity.
mPreview = new CameraPreview(this, mCamera);
FrameLayout preview = (FrameLayout) findViewById(R.id.camera_preview);
preview.addView(mPreview);
}
It doesn't work. Please advice!
My code compiles but I don't see the preview on screen.
public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity implements SensorEventListener{
public CameraPreview cameraPreview;

super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);

Ok guys, sharing my stable variant,

}
And here is usage in activity or fragment:
public class ScanFragment extends Fragment {
private View mFragmentView;
private static Camera mCamera;
private CameraPreview mPreview;
private Handler autoFocusHandler;
private Context mContext;
public boolean previewing = true;
#Override
public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, ViewGroup container,
Bundle savedInstanceState) {

// Inflate the layout for this fragment
mFragmentView = inflater.inflate(R.layout.fragment_scan, container, false);
}
public void cameraPreviewStop(){
previewing = false;
if(mCamera != null) {
mCamera.setPreviewCallback(null);
mCamera.stopPreview();
}
}
public void cameraPreviewStart(){
try {
if (mCamera != null) {
mCamera.setPreviewCallback(previewCb);
mCamera.startPreview();
previewing = true;
mCamera.autoFocus(autoFocusCB);
}else{
initControls();
cameraPreviewStart();
}
}catch (Exception e){
releaseCamera();
initControls();
cameraPreviewStart();
}
}
public void initControls() {
getActivity().setRequestedOrientation(ActivityInfo.SCREEN_ORIENTATION_PORTRAIT);
autoFocusHandler = new Handler();
try{
mCamera = getCameraInstance();
}catch(Exception e){
}
// Instance barcode scanner
initPreviewCamera();
}
public void initPreviewCamera(){
autoFocusCB = new Camera.AutoFocusCallback() {
public void onAutoFocus(boolean success, Camera camera) {
autoFocusHandler.postDelayed(doAutoFocus, 1000);
}
};
mPreview = new CameraPreview(mContext, mCamera, previewCb,
autoFocusCB);
FrameLayout preview = (FrameLayout) mFragmentView.findViewById(R.id.cameraPreview);
preview.removeAllViews();
preview.addView(mPreview);
}
/**
* A safe way to get an instance of the Camera object.
*/
public static Camera getCameraInstance() {
Camera c = null;
try {
c = Camera.open();
} catch (Exception e) {
}
return c;
}
public void releaseCamera() {
if (mCamera != null) {
previewing = false;
try {
mCamera.setPreviewCallback(null);
mCamera.release();
}catch (Exception e){
}
mCamera = null;
}
}
private Runnable doAutoFocus = new Runnable() {
public void run() {
if (previewing)
mCamera.autoFocus(autoFocusCB);
}
};
Camera.PreviewCallback previewCb = new Camera.PreviewCallback() {
public void onPreviewFrame(byte[] data, Camera camera) {
Camera.Parameters parameters = camera.getParameters();
Camera.Size size = parameters.getPreviewSize();
Image imageFromCamera = new Image(size.width, size.height, "Y800");
// Do something...
}
};
// Mimic continuous auto-focusing
Camera.AutoFocusCallback autoFocusCB = new Camera.AutoFocusCallback() {
public void onAutoFocus(boolean success, Camera camera) {
autoFocusHandler.postDelayed(doAutoFocus, 1000);
}
};
}
If in activity then override some things:
#Override
protected void onResume() {
super.onResume();
if(previewing) {
initControls();
cameraPreviewStart();
}
}
#Override
protected void onStop() {
super.onStop();
releaseCamera();
}
And the fragment view with camera fragment (you can add here your custom views and anything you want to customize, size of preview, absolutely anything you want):
<FrameLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
xmlns:local="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto">
<FrameLayout
android:id="#+id/cameraPreview"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"/>
</FrameLayout>
And final note, this is very important! Especially for Android api 23+ devices, from android 6.0 you must use only one instance of camera if you got null on camera object then you are trying to open camera that is already opened. Have a nice day ;)

If I want to make sure the size of the photo and the camera preview are square size, where should I modify? Thanks.
I use Picasso to work with images, it is very effective.
implementation 'com.squareup.picasso:picasso:2.71828'
Picasso.get().load("http://i.imgur.com/DvpvklR.png").into(imageView);
Picasso.get()
.load(url)
.resize(50, 50)//resize image
.centerCrop()
.into(imageView)

I am creating a multi-image capturing feature using custom Camera in my app.But there is a problem with the custom camera. Image captured by custom camera is not getting clear as like default camera(Camera opening with Intent)
Please help me out.I have tried the lot of suggested solutions.

You need to create a CameraPreview class in the same folder as your MainActivity.

I have a custom camera app , that previews the camera video output on SurfaceView and attempts to take pictures , the pics should be will be processed by “xzing “scanner API to decode any barcodes in the image.
My app previews correctly and does not throw any errors or expectations, however my onPictureTaken(byte[] imgData, Camera camera) method & PictureCallback are never called, therefore I’m unable to get the image & continue with further scanning.
Below is the actual code for activity that takes care of Camera logic. The onPictureTaken(byte[] imgData, Camera camera) method & PictureCallback are in this class(ScanVinFromBarcodeActivity.java) see blow :

Updated & working onTakePicturen method, the that works , the PictureCallback returns (stopPreview & StartPreview were moved to inside this method in its finally block).
public void onPictureTaken(byte[] imgData, Camera camera) {
BinaryBitmap bitmap;
try {
Log.d("ClassScanViewBarcodeActivity" ,"onPictureTaken()");
//save image to sd card
savePicture(imgData);
// get the bitmap from camera imageData
BitmapFactory.Options options = new BitmapFactory.Options();
options.inSampleSize = 8;
//down sample
bmpOfTheImageFromCamera = BitmapFactory.decodeByteArray(
imgData, 0, imgData.length,options);
if (bmpOfTheImageFromCamera != null) {
Log.d("***ClassScanViewBarcodeActivity ,onPictureTaken(): bmpOfTheImageFromCamera getByteCount(): ",
String.valueOf(bmpOfTheImageFromCamera.getByteCount()));
//Galaxy S3 , incorrect rotation issue rotate to correct rotation
/*Matrix matrix = new Matrix();
matrix.postRotate(90);
Bitmap rotatedBitmap = Bitmap.createBitmap(bmpOfTheImageFromCamera, 0, 0, bmpOfTheImageFromCamera.getWidth(), bmpOfTheImageFromCamera.getHeight(), matrix, true);*/
// convert bitmap to binary bitmap
bitmap = cameraBytesToBinaryBitmap(bmpOfTheImageFromCamera);
if (bitmap != null) {
// decode the VIN
String VIN = decodeBitmapToString(bitmap);
Log.d("***ClassScanViewBarcodeActivity ,onPictureTaken(): VIN ",
VIN);
VINtext.setText(VIN);
} else {
Log.d("ClassScanViewBarcodeActivity ,onPictureTaken(): bitmap=",String.valueOf(bitmap));
}
} else {
Log.d("ClassScanViewBarcodeActivity , onPictureTaken(): bmpOfTheImageFromCamera = ",
String.valueOf(bmpOfTheImageFromCamera));
}
}// end try
catch (Exception exc) {
exc.getMessage();
Log.d("ClassScanViewBarcodeActivity , scanButton.setOnClickListener(): exception = ",
exc.getMessage());
}
finally
{
globalCamera.stopPreview();
//start previewing again onthe SurfaceView in case use wants to take another pic/scan
globalCamera.startPreview();
}
}// end onPictureTaken()
};// jpegCallback implementation
The only thing I can find that might be the culprit is that you're starting the preview again before the jpegCallback has returned. According to the javadoc, this is not allowed:
After calling this method, you must not call startPreview() or take another picture until the JPEG callback has returned.
The callback is actually put on the UI thread queue - which will be suspended in your Thread.sleep() and the same thread will have called stopPreview() and startPreview() before actually coming to the callback. Generally speaking, if you call Thread.sleep() on the UI thread - you're doing it wrong. So, hopefully if you remove the sleep() and put what comes after it in the jpegCallback your problem should be solved.
