RuntimeException on Camera.setParameters() on nexus one

Question

I copied the code from the answer here and I still am getting a RuntimeException: setParameters failed error on my nexus one. My manifest file has camera and wake_lock permi

Answer 1

None of the above solved this for me. Adding this code before setting the parameters did though.

// stop preview before making changes
    try {
        mCamera.stopPreview();
    } catch (Exception e){
        // ignore: tried to stop a non-existent preview
    }

//now set your parameters
