The requirement is to show camera in portrait mode .
The camera view is displaying properly in all other devices like - Nexus 4 , Nexus 5 , Samsung S3 , Samsung S4 etc .
With NEXUS 6 the camera is displayed as upside down .
Here is how i am setting the camera parameters -
private void setCameraParameters() {
try {
Parameters parameters = mCamera.getParameters();
Camera.CameraInfo camInfo = new Camera.CameraInfo();
Camera.getCameraInfo(mCameraId, camInfo);
int cameraRotationOffset = camInfo.orientation;
System.out.println("Offset :" + cameraRotationOffset);
if (this.getResources().getConfiguration().orientation == Configuration.ORIENTATION_PORTRAIT) {
parameters.set("orientation", "portrait");
mCamera.setDisplayOrientation(90);
Camera.Size size = getBestCameraSize(90,getWidth(),getHeight(),parameters);
if(size==null) {
size = getOptimalPreviewSize(90, getWidth(), getHeight(), parameters);
}
parameters.setPreviewSize(size.width,size.height);
mCamera.setParameters(parameters);
}
} catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
After my experiments i understood that setting display orientation to 270 degrees works fine with Nexus 6 .
Query - How to find out what all devices need the display orientation as 90 and what all devices need the display orintation as 270 ? And how to detect it ?
Use this code to set orientation of your camera as portrait. Its a generic one and should work for all devices:
public static void setCameraDisplayOrientation(Activity activity,
int cameraId, android.hardware.Camera camera) {
android.hardware.Camera.CameraInfo info =
new android.hardware.Camera.CameraInfo();
android.hardware.Camera.getCameraInfo(cameraId, info);
int rotation = activity.getWindowManager().getDefaultDisplay()
.getRotation();
int degrees = 0;
switch (rotation) {
case Surface.ROTATION_0: degrees = 0; break;
case Surface.ROTATION_90: degrees = 90; break;
case Surface.ROTATION_180: degrees = 180; break;
case Surface.ROTATION_270: degrees = 270; break;
}
int result;
if (info.facing == Camera.CameraInfo.CAMERA_FACING_FRONT) {
result = (info.orientation + degrees) % 360;
result = (360 - result) % 360; // compensate the mirror
} else { // back-facing
result = (info.orientation - degrees + 360) % 360;
}
camera.setDisplayOrientation(result);
}
