copied!<p>You can use SurfaceView and create a CustomView that will open the camera and you can adjust its size in the xml accordingly. Below is a pseudo code.</p> <p><strong>Create a class that extends SurfaceView and open camera inside that</strong></p> <p><strong>CapturePreview.java</strong> </p> <pre><code>public class CapturePreview extends SurfaceView implements SurfaceHolder.Callback{ public static Bitmap mBitmap; SurfaceHolder holder; static Camera mCamera; public CapturePreview(Context context, AttributeSet attrs) { super(context, attrs); holder = getHolder(); holder.addCallback(this); holder.setType(SurfaceHolder.SURFACE_TYPE_PUSH_BUFFERS); } @Override public void surfaceChanged(SurfaceHolder holder, int format, int width,int height) { Camera.Parameters parameters = mCamera.getParameters(); parameters.getSupportedPreviewSizes(); mCamera.setParameters(parameters); mCamera.startPreview(); } @Override public void surfaceCreated(SurfaceHolder holder) { try { mCamera = Camera.open(); mCamera.setPreviewDisplay(holder); } catch (Exception e) { e.printStackTrace(); } } @Override public void surfaceDestroyed(SurfaceHolder holder) { mCamera.stopPreview(); mCamera.release(); } /*** * * Take a picture and and convert it from bytes[] to Bitmap. * */ public static void takeAPicture(){ Camera.PictureCallback mPictureCallback = new PictureCallback() { @Override public void onPictureTaken(byte[] data, Camera camera) { BitmapFactory.Options options = new BitmapFactory.Options(); mBitmap = BitmapFactory.decodeByteArray(data, 0, data.length, options); } }; mCamera.takePicture(null, null, mPictureCallback); } } </code></pre> <p><strong>Now you have to include the view that you created using SurfaceView in your xml like this</strong></p> <p><strong>main.xml</strong></p> <pre><code><?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" android:orientation="vertical" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="fill_parent"> <FrameLayout android:id="@+id/mySurfaceView" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content"> <com.cam.CapturePreview android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="wrap_content"> </com.cam.CapturePreview> </FrameLayout> <LinearLayout android:layout_below="@id/mySurfaceView" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:layout_centerInParent="true" android:gravity="center"> <ImageView android:id="@+id/myImageView" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:src="@drawable/icon"/> </LinearLayout> </RelativeLayout> </code></pre> <p>Now you can use this main.xml in any <code>Acitivty</code> that will open a camera with a <code>ImageView</code>. Thanks....</p>
