POportrait camera orientation on galaxy tab
text
Body
copied!<p>I am developing on/for a Samsung Galaxy Tab (7inches). My application has to be in portrait mode only, i.e i have locked it to portrait mode in my application and in the device settings. The problem is when i try to rotate the camera preview, it is currently rotated 90 degrees in the wrong direction.</p> <p>Right now this is my surfaceCreated</p> <pre><code> public void surfaceCreated(SurfaceHolder holder) { camera = Camera.open(); try { camera.setPreviewDisplay(holder); Camera.Parameters parameters = camera.getParameters(); parameters.setPictureFormat(PixelFormat.JPEG); parameters.set("orientation", "portrait"); //camera.setDisplayOrientation(90); parameters.setRotation(90); camera.setParameters(parameters); } catch (IOException exception) { camera.release(); } } </code></pre> <p>The camera.setDisplayOrientation(90) does not seem to be working (it does nothing, which is why i have commented it away). However the parameters.setRotation(90) DOES IN FACT GET THE JOB DONE! but it creates an ugly "stripe" of "flickering colors" along the side of the application. setDisplayOrientation() should work for me, since i am running android api 8 (Froyo 2.2)!!</p> <p>There is a thread on google about problems pertaining to rotational issues <a href="http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=1193#c26" rel="nofollow">http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=1193#c26</a>, but to the best of my knowledge it does not suggest anything for my problem.</p> <p>Any and all solutions pertaining to this problem will be greatly appreciated! thanks!</p>
