an error occurred by CameraX.bindToLifecycle()

Question

java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: No supported surface combination is found for camera device - Id : 0. May be attempting to bind too many use cases.

Answer 1

I got the same error when I tried to create imageCapture, videoCapture, mPreview or the analyzer with different settings between each other.

Try to set in the builder setting the same parameters, e.g. if you want:

setLensFacing(CameraX.LensFacing.BACK)

Set in all the setting builders the same. This can fix your error but still, I don't know if the library support this feature jet.

Answer 2

There is no videoCapture usecase right now.

As mentioned in the official documentation, the available usecases are preview, analysis & image capture (and their combinations).

Answer 3

You are binding more UseCases than your device's camera supports. Not all devices can support two ImageAnalyzers.

Try reducing your analyzers,

CameraX.bindToLifecycle(lifecycleOwner, mPreview, imageCapture or videoCapture)

I have tested with many devices, so far, among the devices that I tested, only Google Pixel 1 works with three analyzers.

To suggest a hack, remove imageCapture analyzer, try to get images from preview for imageCapture and use videoCapture.

Hope it helps.

Answer 4

A workaround is to bind Preview with VideoCapture, and Preview with ImageCapture separately. Binding Preview, ImageCapture and VideoCapture appears to be an issue on a few devices currently. When switching between the two be careful to unbindAll first.

This may be because the VideoCapture UseCase is not officially supported yet, as of 1.0.0-Beta10.

fun startVideoCapture() {
        ...
                cameraProvider.unbindAll()
                cameraProvider.bindToLifecycle(
                                lifecycleOwner,
                                cameraSelected,
                                previewUseCase,
                                videoCaptureUseCase
                            )
                }
fun startImageCapture() {
        ...
                cameraProvider.unbindAll()
                cameraProvider.bindToLifecycle(
                                lifecycleOwner,
                                cameraSelected,
                                previewUseCase,
                                imageCaptureUseCase
                            )
                }

Answer 5

I got the same error while popping fragment with camera view from backstack, I fixed it by unbinding all analysers when view exits.

CameraX.unbindAll()

As suggested here.
