surfaceCreated() Never Called

I've seen similar problems to the one I'm having, but I still can't find a solution. I'm very new to Android development, so I'm having trouble tracking down my problem. Anyways, I'm trying to create a camera preview using a CameraSurfaceView class I created that extends SurfaceView and implements SurfaceHolder.Callback. No matter what I try in my StartCamera class, the surfaceCreated() method is never called, hence my camera never starts. Any help would be great, thanks!

StartCamera.java

import net.peterd.zombierun.R;
import android.hardware.Camera;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.widget.FrameLayout;

public class StartCamera extends BaseActivity {

    private Camera mCamera;
    private CameraSurfaceView mView;

    public void onCreate(Bundle state) {
        // TODO Auto-generated constructor stub
        super.onCreate(state);
        setContentView(R.layout.start_camera);
    }

    public void onResume() {
        super.onResume();

        mView = new CameraSurfaceView(this);
        FrameLayout preview = (FrameLayout) findViewById(R.id.cPreview);
        preview.addView(mView);
    }

    public void onPause() {
        mCamera.stopPreview();
        mCamera.release();
    }

}

CameraSurfaceView.java

import java.io.IOException;
import android.content.Context;
import android.hardware.Camera;
import android.view.SurfaceHolder;
import android.view.SurfaceView;

public class CameraSurfaceView extends SurfaceView implements SurfaceHolder.Callback
{
        private SurfaceHolder holder;
        private Camera camera;

        public CameraSurfaceView(Context context) 
        {
                super(context);

                //Initiate the Surface Holder properly
                this.holder = this.getHolder();
                this.holder.addCallback(this);
                this.holder.setType(SurfaceHolder.SURFACE_TY
