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:

Well i Do this!

I have solved this issue in in this way in surfaceCreated() method

 public void surfaceCreated(SurfaceHolder holder) {
    try {

        camera = Camera.open();
    } catch (RuntimeException e) {
        System.err.println(e);
        return;
    }
    Camera.Parameters param;
    param = camera.getParameters();
    if (this.getResources().getConfiguration().orientation != Configuration.ORIENTATION_LANDSCAPE)
    {
        param.set("orientation", "portrait");
        setCameraDisplayOrientation(this,1,camera);
    }
    camera.setParameters(param);

    try {
        camera.setPreviewDisplay(surfaceHolder);
        camera.startPreview();
    } catch (Exception e) {
        System.err.println(e);
        return;
    }
}

add this method below

 public static void setCameraDisplayOrientation(Activity activity,
                                               int cameraId, android.hardware.Camera camera) {

    android.hardware.Camera.CameraInfo info =
            new android.hardware.Camera.CameraInfo();

    android.hardware.Camera.getCameraInfo(cameraId, info);

    int rotation = activity.getWindowManager().getDefaultDisplay().getRotation();
    int degrees = 0;

    switch (rotation) {
        case Surface.ROTATION_0: degrees = 0; break;
        case Surface.ROTATION_90: degrees = 90; break;
        case Surface.ROTATION_180: degrees = 180; break;
        case Surface.ROTATION_270: degrees = 270; break;
    }

    int result;
    if (info.facing == Camera.CameraInfo.CAMERA_FACING_FRONT) {
        result = (info.orientation + degrees) % 360;
        result = (360 - result) % 360;  // compensate the mirror
    } else {  // back-facing
        result = (info.orientation - degrees + 360) % 360;
    }
    camera.setDisplayOrientation(result);
}

3: Make sure you have added camera permiison to support for nougat in a activity before this activity calling dont call permission for camera in this activity because surfacecreated call as the activity created, and your permission will be pending to open camera
