I am trying to create a surface view for a camera so it renders on the surface whenever is in the view of the camera. At the moment all I can see on my camera view is a black screen view. I have tried to look on Google and here but so far I haven't found what I am looking for. Anyone can suggest me some idea.
Make shure you added the permission :
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.CAMERA"/>
Also these window properties:
getWindow().setFormat(PixelFormat.TRANSLUCENT);
requestWindowFeature(Window.FEATURE_NO_TITLE);
getWindow().setFlags(WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_FULLSCREEN | WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_KEEP_SCREEN_ON,
WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_FULLSCREEN | WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_KEEP_SCREEN_ON);
setRequestedOrientation(ActivityInfo.SCREEN_ORIENTATION_PORTRAIT);
Post some code if that doesn't work in order to help you
