Android - Fail to connect to camera

Question

I\'m using the Android APIDemo sample code.

When I run the CameraPreview example, at first it was giving me an error.

I traced that one down and the sample

Answer 1

I also get this type of issue on a HTC device. To solve add this code:

@Override
protected void onDestroy() {
    // TODO Auto-generated method stub
    super.onDestroy();
    if (camera!=null)
    {
        camera.stopPreview();
        camera.release();
        camera=null;
    }
}

And yet you cannot start camera then restart device.
