Camera preview image data processing with Android L and Camera2 API

Question

I\'m working on an android app that is processing the input image from the camera and displays it to the user. This is fairly simple, I register a PreviewCallback

Answer 1

I needed the same thing, so I used their example and added a call to a new function when the camera is in preview state.

private CameraCaptureSession.CaptureCallback mCaptureCallback
            = new CameraCaptureSession.CaptureCallback()
    private void process(CaptureResult result) {
        switch (mState) {
            case STATE_PREVIEW: {
                    if (buttonPressed){
                        savePreviewShot();
                    }
                break;
            }

The savePreviewShot() is simply a recycled version of the original captureStillPicture() adapted to use the preview template.

   private void savePreviewShot(){
        try {
            final Activity activity = getActivity();
            if (null == activity || null == mCameraDevice) {
                return;
            }
            // This is the CaptureRequest.Builder that we use to take a picture.
            final CaptureRequest.Builder captureBuilder =
                    mCameraDevice.createCaptureRequest(CameraDevice.TEMPLATE_PREVIEW);
            captureBuilder.addTarget(mImageReader.getSurface());

            // Orientation
            int rotation = activity.getWindowManager().getDefaultDisplay().getRotation();
            captureBuilder.set(CaptureRequest.JPEG_ORIENTATION, ORIENTATIONS.get(rotation));

            CameraCaptureSession.CaptureCallback CaptureCallback
                    = new CameraCaptureSession.CaptureCallback() {

                @Override
                public void onCaptureCompleted(CameraCaptureSession session, CaptureRequest request,
                                               TotalCaptureResult result) {
                    SimpleDateFormat sdf = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd_HH:mm:ss:SSS");
                    Date resultdate = new Date(System.currentTimeMillis());
                    String mFileName = sdf.format(resultdate);
                    mFile = new File(getActivity().getExternalFilesDir(null), "pic "+mFileName+" preview.jpg");

                    Log.i("Saved file", ""+mFile.toString());
                    unlockFocus();
                }
            };

            mCaptureSession.stopRepeating();
            mCaptureSession.capture(captureBuilder.build(), CaptureCallback, null);
        } catch (Exception e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        }
    };
