Android camera locked after force close

Question

I have an application where I use devices camera.

Now I only release camera in normal flow.

@Override
public void surfaceDestroyed(SurfaceHolder surf         


        

Answer 1

private void stopPreviewAndFreeCamera() {

if (mCamera != null) {
    /*
      Call stopPreview() to stop updating the preview surface.
    */
    mCamera.stopPreview();

    /*
      Important: Call release() to release the camera for use by other applications. 
      Applications should release the camera immediately in onPause() (and re-open() it in
      onResume()).
    */
    mCamera.release();

    mCamera = null;
}}

do it like this.
