Camera app on android

I am beginner in android developing and I am trying to make a camera app. The camera app is opening but camera hardware is not detecting this is the code of main activity code. Now what am I missing to added to detect camera hardware please describe it and help me to solve it
public class CamTestActivity extends Activity {
private static final String TAG = "CamTestActivity";
Preview preview;
Button buttonClick;
Camera camera;
Activity act;
Context ctx;
#Override

setContentView(R.layout.main);
preview = new Preview(this, (SurfaceView)findViewById(R.id.surfaceView));
preview.setLayoutParams(new LayoutParams(LayoutParams.MATCH_PARENT, LayoutParams.MATCH_PARENT));
((FrameLayout) findViewById(R.id.layout)).addView(preview);
preview.setKeepScreenOn(true);
preview.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(View arg0) {
camera.takePicture(shutterCallback, rawCallback, jpegCallback);
}
});
Toast.makeText(ctx, getString(R.string.take_photo_help), Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
buttonClick = (Button) findViewById(R.id.btnCapture);
buttonClick.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() {
public void onClick(View v) {
try {
preview.mCamera.takePicture(shutterCallback, rawCallback, jpegCallback);
camera.takePicture(shutterCallback, rawCallback, jpegCallback);
}catch (Exception e)
{
Toast.makeText(ctx, getString(R.string.camera_not_found), Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
}
}
});
buttonClick.setOnLongClickListener(new OnLongClickListener(){
#Override

camera.autoFocus(new Camera.AutoFocusCallback(){
#Override

}
});
return true;
}
});
}
#Override
protected void onResume() {
super.onResume();
int numCams = Camera.getNumberOfCameras();
if(numCams > 0){
try{
camera = Camera.open(1);
camera.startPreview();
preview.setCamera(camera);
} catch (RuntimeException ex){

The issue is most likely that, while you have asked for the Camera permission in the manifest, you also need to ask at runtime. The reason is that in older versions of Android (I think < Android 6.0), you only needed to declare permissions in the manifest. However, now the user can turn permissions on and off after the app has been installed. So now you are supposed to check during runtime whether you have permission for the feature you require. If you don't have it, then you should ask the user to enable it.
You can find code for this online. But first we need to verify that that is indeed the problem. The simplest way of doing that is by going to your Android Settings app. Then in there, there should be an Apps options. Find your app and click on it. In there, there should be a section with the Permissions. If the camera permission is not checked there, then check it and rerun your app.
If this fixes your issue, then you need to find code to ask the user to grant you the permission after the app opens. One such way of doing this is simply on the splash screen, as demonstrated here.

I assume you are running the app on a device with Android 6 or higher. So, you should additionally check for the runtime permissions to use the camera:
https://developer.android.com/training/permissions/requesting
If you don't add this permission check, Android will block the access to the camera hardware. It will also block hardware detection, because it requires also the camera permission. So, everytime you make a call on camera it will fail with a permission denied exception, which is logged in you logcat:
04-26 12:20:14.152 9167-9167/com.example.niit.cameraapp W/CameraBase: An error occurred while connecting to camera 1: Status(-8): '1: validateClientPermissionsLocked:920: Caller "com.example.niit.cameraapp" (PID 10190, UID 9167) cannot open camera "1" without camera permission'
Additionally, it seems you are using the deprecated camera api instead of the camera2 api:

Android Fatal signal 11 (SIGSEGV), code 1, fault addr 0x0 in tid 29092

I'm try to play a loading animation on my loading screen, and I read somewhere that android doesn't support gifs so either you have to break in into frames and then play it or we can use the Movie class.
Heres the leading activity -

}
}).setNegativeButton("I'll fkin face it",
new DialogInterface.OnClickListener() {
public void onClick(DialogInterface dialog, int id) {
}
});
AlertDialog alert = builder.create();
alert.show();
}
}
In the above code I've set content view by passing it an instance of MYGIFView.class -
Heres MYGIFView.class
package com.myapp.mehul.login;
import android.content.Context;
import android.graphics.Canvas;
import android.graphics.Color;
import android.graphics.Movie;
import android.view.View;
import java.io.InputStream;
/**

*/
public class MYGIFView extends View{
Movie movie,movie1;
InputStream is=null,is1=null;
long moviestart;
public MYGIFView(Context context) {
super(context);
is=context.getResources().openRawResource(+ R.drawable.loading);
movie=Movie.decodeStream(is);
}
#Override
protected void onDraw(Canvas canvas) {
canvas.drawColor(Color.WHITE);
super.onDraw(canvas);
long now=android.os.SystemClock.uptimeMillis();
System.out.println("now="+now);
if (moviestart == 0) { // first time
moviestart = now;
}
System.out.println("\tmoviestart="+moviestart);
int relTime = (int)((now - moviestart) % movie.duration()) ;
System.out.println("time="+relTime+"\treltime="+movie.duration());
movie.setTime(relTime);
movie.draw(canvas,this.getWidth()/2-20,this.getHeight()/2-40);
this.invalidate();
}
}
The loading activity IS creating an instance of MYGIFView.class and it logs the data but then it gives fatal signal 11. I tried to search but I didn't get any answer.

I received a batch for this question which means its being viewed a lot, so I'll answer this question -
What I figured out was the line below was throwing the error -
movie.draw(canvas,this.getWidth()/2-20,this.getHeight()/2-40);
Now the problem is that this error specifically can be caused by lots of reasons, its never a specific reason.. the reason mine wasn't working out was because my device didn't work well with hardware acceleration, so I just had to disable it in the manifest application, like this -
<android:hardwareAccelerated="false">
Now its possible that the reason might not be the same....but the core reason is the same, its memory related, and most chances are its a bug in the firmware of the device or emulator you are testing upon.

In the Manifest set in your activity :
<activity
android:name="LoadingScreen"
android:hardwareAccelerated="false">
</activity>

I got here with the exact same problem but in React Native, so I will put a solution for those who need it too. The error may be triggered by react-native-webview and/or React Navigation. In some cases, like me, you don't want to disable Hardware Acceleration on the whole app, so here's a workaround:
react-native-webview
<WebView
androidHardwareAccelerationDisabled
source={source}
/>
React Navigation 5
<NavigationContainer>
<Stack.Navigator initialRouteName="HomeScreen">
<Stack.Screen
name="HomeScreen"
component={HomeScreen}
options={{
animationEnabled: false,
}}
/>
</Stack.Navigator>
</NavigationContainer>

Thus I have the following questions:
I would like to know why is this app behaving normally on Samsung S3
but not on other devices?
How can I fix this issue?

I had the same issue. You must to erase the following code line:
netConfig.allowedKeyManagement.set(WifiConfiguration.KeyMgmt.WPA_PSK);
That works for me in versions 4.1.1, 4.2 and 4.3.

Try this code .I test in android 5.0.1 :
public boolean setHotSpot(String SSID,String passWord){
Method[] mMethods = mWifiManager.getClass().getDeclaredMethods();
for(Method mMethod: mMethods){
if(mMethod.getName().equals("setWifiApEnabled")) {
WifiConfiguration netConfig = new WifiConfiguration();
if(passWord==""){
netConfig.SSID = SSID;
netConfig.allowedAuthAlgorithms.set(WifiConfiguration.AuthAlgorithm.OPEN);
netConfig.allowedProtocols.set(WifiConfiguration.Protocol.RSN);
netConfig.allowedProtocols.set(WifiConfiguration.Protocol.WPA);
netConfig.allowedKeyManagement.set(WifiConfiguration.KeyMgmt.NONE);
}else{
netConfig.SSID = SSID ;
netConfig.preSharedKey = passWord;
netConfig.hiddenSSID = true;
netConfig.status = WifiConfiguration.Status.ENABLED;
netConfig.allowedGroupCiphers.set(WifiConfiguration.GroupCipher.TKIP);
netConfig.allowedGroupCiphers.set(WifiConfiguration.GroupCipher.CCMP);
netConfig.allowedKeyManagement.set(WifiConfiguration.KeyMgmt.WPA_PSK);
netConfig.allowedPairwiseCiphers.set(WifiConfiguration.PairwiseCipher.TKIP);
netConfig.allowedPairwiseCiphers.set(WifiConfiguration.PairwiseCipher.CCMP);
netConfig.allowedProtocols.set(WifiConfiguration.Protocol.RSN);
netConfig.allowedProtocols.set(WifiConfiguration.Protocol.WPA);
}
try {
mMethod.invoke(mWifiManager, netConfig,false);
mWifiManager.saveConfiguration();
return true;
} catch (Exception e) {
e.getMessage();
}
}
}
return false;
}
Insert this permission in AndroidManifest:
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_WIFI_STATE" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.CHANGE_WIFI_STATE" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.CHANGE_NETWORK_STATE" />

If you are using WPA_PSK authentication, you have to specify preSharedKey.
netConfig.preSharedKey = "testPassword";
netConfig.allowedKeyManagement.set(WifiConfiguration.KeyMgmt.WPA_PSK);
Otherwise it will crash and restart the device.

GCM Android App Fatal Exception

I have been trying to learn how Google Cloud Messaging works in Android apps, specifically multicast messaging, so I found a tutorial with source code. Unfortunately I can get the program to compile without error but when it runs, I get a fatal exception. Anyone know what is wrong?

Thanks for the help!

It turned out to be all the .java files in the java folder. Once I redid them in the src path, the program worked correctly.

Android custom Camera application crashes as it starts "unfortuantely stopped"

I am trying to build my own custom camera application I have learn through the Android developers Group about how to code the whole application but as soon as I launch the camera it crashes I don't know what is the problem here is my code:
package com.example.tapeit;
import java.io.*;
import java.text.SimpleDateFormat;
import java.util.Date;
import android.app.Activity;
import android.content.Context;
import android.content.pm.PackageManager;
import android.hardware.Camera;
import android.hardware.Camera.PictureCallback;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.os.Environment;
import android.provider.MediaStore.Files.FileColumns;
import android.util.Log;
import android.view.View;
import android.widget.Button;
import android.widget.FrameLayout;
public class CameraActivity extends Activity implements Camera.PictureCallback {
private Camera mCamera;
private CameraPreview mPreview;
String TAG = "TapeIt";
public static final int MEDIA_TYPE_IMAGE = 1;
Button captureButton;
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.preview_layout);
mCamera = getCameraInstance();
mPreview = new CameraPreview(this, mCamera);
FrameLayout preview = (FrameLayout) findViewById(R.id.camera_preview);
preview.addView(preview);
captureButton = (Button) findViewById(R.id.button_capture);
captureButton.setOnClickListener(
new View.OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(View arg0) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
mCamera.takePicture(null, null, mPicture);
}
});
}
private boolean checkCameraHardware(Context context){
if(context.getPackageManager().hasSystemFeature(PackageManager.FEATURE_CAMERA)){
return true;
}else{
return false;
}
}
public static Camera getCameraInstance() {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
Camera c = null;
try {
c = Camera.open();
} catch (Exception e) {
}
return c;
}
private PictureCallback mPicture = new PictureCallback() {
#Override
public void onPictureTaken(byte[] data, Camera camera) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
File pictureFile = getOutputMediaFile(MEDIA_TYPE_IMAGE);
if (pictureFile == null){
Log.d(TAG, "Error creating media file, check storage permissions: " );
return;
}
try {
FileOutputStream fos = new FileOutputStream(pictureFile);
fos.write(data);
fos.close();
} catch (FileNotFoundException e) {
Log.d(TAG, "File not found: " + e.getMessage());
} catch (IOException e) {
Log.d(TAG, "Error accessing file: " + e.getMessage());
}
}
};
private static File getOutputMediaFile(int mediaTypeImage) {

if(! mediaStorageDir.exists()){

return null;
}
}
String timeStamp = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyyMMdd_HHmmss").format(new Date());
File mediaFile = new File(mediaStorageDir.getPath() + File.separator +"IMG_"+ timeStamp + ".jpg");
return mediaFile;
}
#Override
public void onPictureTaken(byte[] data, Camera camera) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
File pictureFile = getOutputMediaFile(MEDIA_TYPE_IMAGE);
if (pictureFile == null){
Log.d(TAG, "Error creating media file, check storage permissions: " );
return;
}
try {

}
}
private void releaseCamera(){
if (mCamera != null){
mCamera.release(); // release the camera for other applications
mCamera = null;
}
}
}
And here is my preview Class:
package com.example.tapeit;
import java.io.IOException;
import android.content.Context;
import android.util.Log;
import android.view.SurfaceHolder;
import android.view.SurfaceView;
import android.hardware.Camera;
public class CameraPreview extends SurfaceView implements SurfaceHolder.Callback{
private Camera mCamera;
private SurfaceHolder mHolder;
String TAG = "TapeIt";
public CameraPreview (Context context, Camera camera){
super(context);
mCamera = camera;
mHolder = getHolder();
mHolder.addCallback(this);
}
public void surfaceCreated(SurfaceHolder holder){
try{
mCamera.setPreviewDisplay(holder);
mCamera.startPreview();
}catch(IOException e){
Log.d(TAG, "Error setting camera preview" + e.getMessage());
}
}
#Override
public void surfaceChanged(SurfaceHolder holder, int format, int w, int h) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
if(mHolder.getSurface() == null){
return;
}
try{
mCamera.stopPreview();
}catch(Exception e){
}
//You should make here changes when the device is rotated or when any other change
// set preview size and make any resize, rotate or
// reformatting changes here
//mCamera.getParameters().getSupportedPreviewSizes();
try{
mCamera.setPreviewDisplay(holder);
mCamera.startPreview();
}catch(IOException e){
Log.d(TAG, "Error setting camera preview" + e.getMessage());
}
}
#Override
public void surfaceDestroyed(SurfaceHolder arg0) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
}
}
My manifest uses all the permision here they are:
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.CAMERA"/>
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE"/>
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.RECORD_AUDIO" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION" />
<uses-feature android:name="android.hardware.camera" />
<application
android:allowBackup="true"
android:icon="#drawable/ic_launcher"
android:label="#string/app_name"
android:theme="#style/AppTheme" >
<activity
android:name="com.example.tapeit.CameraActivity"
android:label="#string/app_name" >
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
</intent-filter>
</activity>
</application>
My logcat in the console is posted here:

preview.addView(preview);
You are attempting to add the FrameLayout to itself. This will not work.
Presumably, the parameter should be mPreview.
You may wish to use more distinctive names for variables, such as not having both preview and mPreview.
