I wanted to make use of the zxing library to detect qrcodes in my app. But for the apps viewing purpose, i had to change the custom display orientation to portrait. Hence i had to integrate the whole zxing library into my app and addded camera.setDisplayOrientation(90) to the openDriver() method. After doing this, the program works, but I get "Runtime exceptions : Fail to connect to camera service" randomly.
public void openDriver(SurfaceHolder holder) throws IOException { if (camera == null) { camera = Camera.open(); camera.setDisplayOrientation(90); if (camera == null) { throw new IOException(); } } camera.setPreviewDisplay(holder); if (!initialized) { initialized = true; configManager.initFromCameraParameters(camera); } configManager.setDesiredCameraParameters(camera); SharedPreferences prefs = PreferenceManager.getDefaultSharedPreferences(context); reverseImage = prefs.getBoolean(PreferencesActivity.KEY_REVERSE_IMAGE, false); if (prefs.getBoolean(PreferencesActivity.KEY_FRONT_LIGHT, false)) { FlashlightManager.enableFlashlight(); } } public void closeDriver() { if (camera != null) { FlashlightManager.disableFlashlight(); camera.release(); camera = null; framingRect = null; framingRectInPreview = null; } } /** * Asks the camera hardware to begin drawing preview frames to the screen. */ public void startPreview() { if (camera != null && !previewing) { camera.startPreview(); previewing = true; } } /** * Tells the camera to stop drawing preview frames. */ public void stopPreview() { if (camera != null && previewing) { if (!useOneShotPreviewCallback) { camera.setPreviewCallback(null); } camera.stopPreview(); previewCallback.setHandler(null, 0); autoFocusCallback.setHandler(null, 0); previewing = false; } } -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
