Rotating a Camera SurfaceView to portrait

Question

I have looked up a few posts on changing the orientation of the camera with a surface view, but I have taken my code from the examples at:

http://developer.android.c

Answer 1

Try this out, but I tried in Samsung Galaxy Tab

public void surfaceCreated(SurfaceHolder holder)
{
   // The Surface has been created, acquire the camera and tell it where to draw.
   mCamera = Camera.open();

   Parameters params = mCamera.getParameters();

   if (this.getResources().getConfiguration().orientation != Configuration.ORIENTATION_LANDSCAPE)
   {
    params.set("orientation", "portrait");
    mCamera.setDisplayOrientation(90);
   }

    try
      {
      mCamera.setPreviewDisplay(holder);
      }
      catch (IOException exception)
      {
        mCamera.release();
        mCamera = null;
      }

}
