I use code like shown below to choose one of the supported preview sizes for displaying the camera preview. What I am seeing on the Motorola Droid 3 is that if the chosen preview size is 240 x 160 (an unusual aspect ratio of 1.5), the preview looks stretched. ie. it looks like the camera is capturing at a lower aspect ratio (something like 1.3) and then stretching it to become 240 x 160. If any of the other supported preview sizes (128x96, 160x120, 176x144, 352x288, 320x240, 640x480) are chosen, the preview looks fine. Also, this only happens with the front-facing camera. The preview with the rear camera looks fine at 240 x 160.
Is anyone else seeing this? Is this a known issue? I have also asked the question at http://www.droidforums.net/forum/droid-development/163543-stretched-camera-preview-size-160x240-front-facing-camera-droid-3-a.html#post1668852 Thanks, Shri Camera.Parameters params = camera.getParameters(); params.setPreviewFormat(ImageFormat.NV21); params.setPreviewFrameRate(15); List<Camera.Size> supportedSizes = params.getSupportedPreviewSizes(); // Chose one of the supportedSizes Camera.Size chosenSize = chooseSize(supportedSizes); params.setPreviewSize(chosenSize.width, chosenSize.height); camera.setParameters(params); Camera.Size previewSize = camera.getParameters().getPreviewSize(); // Set the size of the SurfaceView to be proportional to the // aspect ratio of the preview size.
