Hi,
I have created a fragment that contains code for a camera preview. I am now trying to create an activity that will look after taking the picture etc..
Here is my cam preview related code from my fragment (this works just fine)
preview = (SurfaceView) view.findViewById(R.id.preview);
previewHolder = preview.getHolder();
previewHolder.addCallback(surfaceCallback);
previewHolder.setType(SurfaceHolder.SURFACE_TYPE_PUSH_BUFFERS);
@Override
public void onStop() {
//Unregistering the Listener
manager.unregisterListener(this);
super.onStop();
}
@Override
public void onPause() {
super.onPause();
if(camera!=null)
{
camera.stopPreview();
}
//On Entering the Pause Method, if in Preview - Stop
if (inPreview) {
camera.stopPreview();
}
//Release the Camera and Set the Camera and InPreview to Negative
camera.release();
camera = null;
inPreview = false;
}
//Method to Determine the Best Preview Size
private Camera.Size getBestPreviewSize(int width, int height,
Camera.Parameters parameters) {
Camera.Size result = null;
camera.setDisplayOrientation(90);
for (Camera.Size size : parameters.getSupportedPreviewSizes()) {
if (size.width <= width && size.height <= height) {
if (result == null) {
result = size;
} else {
int resultArea = result.width * result.height;
int newArea = size.width * size.height;
if (newArea > resultArea) {
result = size;
}
}
}
}
return (result);
}
//Initializing the Preview
private void initPreview(int width, int height) {
if (camera != null && previewHolder.getSurface() != null) {
try {
camera.setPreviewDisplay(previewHolder);
} catch (Throwable t) {
Log.e("PreviewDemo-surfaceCallback",
"Exception in setPreviewDisplay()", t);
//Toast.makeText(this, t.getMessage(),
//Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
}
if (!cameraConfigured) {
Camera.Parameters parameters = camera.getParameters();
Camera.Size size = getBestPreviewSize(width, height, parameters);
if (size != null) {
parameters.setPreviewSize(size.width, size.height);
camera.setParameters(parameters);
cameraConfigured = true;
}
}
}
}
//Starting the Preview
private void startPreview() {
if (cameraConfigured && camera != null) {
camera.startPreview();
inPreview = true;
}
}
SurfaceHolder.Callback surfaceCallback = new SurfaceHolder.Callback() {
public void surfaceCreated(SurfaceHolder holder) {
// no-op -- wait until surfaceChanged()
}
public void surfaceChanged(SurfaceHolder holder, int format, int width,
int height) {
initPreview(width, height);
startPreview();
}
public void surfaceDestroyed(SurfaceHolder holder) {
// no-op
}
};
However in my activity, when I try to use the camera.takepicture method I get a null pointer exception...
public class PhotoHandler extends FragmentActivity{
private Camera camera;
Button snap;
ShutterCallback shutterCallback;
PictureCallback rawCallback;
PictureCallback jpegCallback;
@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.level_main_layout);
buttonHandler();
shutterCallback = new ShutterCallback() {
public void onShutter() {
Log.d("SHUTTER", "onShutter'd");
}
};
/** Handles data for raw picture */
rawCallback = new PictureCallback() {
public void onPictureTaken(byte[] data, Camera camera) {
Log.d("RAW", "onPictureTaken - raw");
}
};
/** Handles data for jpeg picture */
jpegCallback = new PictureCallback() {
public void onPictureTaken(byte[] data, Camera camera) {
FileOutputStream outStream = null;
try {
// write to local sandbox file system
// outStream =
// CameraDemo.this.openFileOutput(String.format("%d.jpg",
// System.currentTimeMillis()), 0);
// Or write to sdcard
outStream = new FileOutputStream(String.format(
"/sdcard/%d.jpg", System.currentTimeMillis()));
outStream.write(data);
outStream.close();
Log.d("JPG", "onPictureTaken - wrote bytes: " + data.length);
} catch (FileNotFoundException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
} catch (IOException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
} finally {
}
Log.d("JPG", "onPictureTaken - jpeg");
}
};
}
public void buttonHandler() {
snap = (Button) findViewById(R.id.takePic);
snap.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() {
@Override
public void onClick(View arg0) {
camera.takePicture(shutterCallback, rawCallback, jpegCallback);
}
});
}
}
I am getting the null pointer exception when I click the button, so when it enters the takePicture() method.
here is my logcat..

I'm just wondering if anyone could help me here, it's painful now after spending time on this and not able to move forward, so if anyone has any ideas they would be greatly appreciated..
