How to capture preview image frames from Camera Application in Android Programming?

Question

I am writing an app to capture the camera preview frames and convert it to bitmap in Android. Here is my code:

   Camera.PreviewCallback previewCallback = ne         


        

Answer 1

Have you tried decoding the preview frame data to RGB before you use BitmapFactory? The default format is YUV which I'm not sure is compatible with BitmapFactory. Dave Manpearl's decode method can be found here:

Let me know if it works.
