Answer 1

I have found the answer, apparently my own screen resolution is not a supported size for the camera. I was not aware of the camera only being able to support certain sizes as I am programming with the 1.6 SDK.

Is there any way to retrieve the supported sizes of the camera for 1.5/1.6?

Answer 2

Yes there are methods provided to get the picture sizes supported by camera. The method the paramters class of camera which provides the supported picture sizes by camera is getSupportedPictureSizes(); Using this method, you can get the supported size by camera. The code snippet would look like this:-

Camera camera = Camera.open();
Parameters params = camera.getParameters();
List<Camera.Size> sizes = params.getSupportedPictureSizes();

I hope this will help you.
