Although the orientation is changing, I believe that I also need to change the camera preview to fit if you want full-screen images when rotating, so I use a similar method, but in the onLayout () method for the camera surface, like this:
public class CameraSurfaceView extends ViewGroup implements SurfaceHolder.Callback
{
@Override
protected void onLayout(boolean changed, int left, int top, int right, int bottom)
{
if (changed)
{
final int width = right - left;
final int height = bottom - top;
int previewWidth = width;
int previewHeight = height;
if (mPreviewSize != null)
{
Display display = ((WindowManager)mContext.getSystemService(Context.WINDOW_SERVICE)).getDefaultDisplay();
switch (display.getRotation())
{
case Surface.ROTATION_0:
previewWidth = mPreviewSize.height;
previewHeight = mPreviewSize.width;
mCamera.setDisplayOrientation(90);
break;
case Surface.ROTATION_90:
previewWidth = mPreviewSize.width;
previewHeight = mPreviewSize.height;
break;
case Surface.ROTATION_180:
previewWidth = mPreviewSize.height;
previewHeight = mPreviewSize.width;
break;
case Surface.ROTATION_270:
previewWidth = mPreviewSize.width;
previewHeight = mPreviewSize.height;
mCamera.setDisplayOrientation(180);
break;
}
}
final int scaledChildHeight = previewHeight * width / previewWidth;
cameraView.layout(0, height - scaledChildHeight, width, height);
}
}
}
