Android Camera Set Resolution

Question

I have built a custom Camera App and I am trying to change the resoloution of the image that is took. I have read around that this could depend on the phone or version of An

Answer 1

There is no setResolution(), only setPictureSize(). Use getSupportedPictureSizes() on Camera.Parameters to find the size you want, or use that information to populate a ListView or Spinner or something for the user to choose the desired size. Here is a sample project recently updated to use getSupportedPictureSizes() to find the smallest supported resolution and use that.

Answer 2

It's too easy to capture image with high quality, here you can set your own resolution:

mCamera = Camera.open();
Camera.Parameters params = mCamera.getParameters();

// Check what resolutions are supported by your camera
List<Size> sizes = params.getSupportedPictureSizes();

// Iterate through all available resolutions and choose one.
// The chosen resolution will be stored in mSize.
Size mSize;
for (Size size : sizes) {
    Log.i(TAG, "Available resolution: "+size.width+" "+size.height);
        mSize = size;
    }
}

Log.i(TAG, "Chosen resolution: "+mSize.width+" "+mSize.height);
params.setPictureSize(mSize.width, mSize.height);
mCamera.setParameters(params); 

Hope this will help you all.
