Question

I am using this camera preview application for my Android app.

I want the camera preview over the full screen.Hence I used the example from Android APIs to try setting the preview to full screen. This is how I am trying to do it:

if (!cameraConfigured) {
    Camera.Parameters parameters=camera.getParameters();
    Camera.Size size = getOptimalPreviewSize(mSupportedPreviewSizes, width, height);
    if (size != null) {
        parameters.setPreviewSize(size.width, size.height);

      camera.setParameters(parameters);
      cameraConfigured=true;
    }

I am using relative layout as my layout. My layout settings are follows:

<android.view.SurfaceView xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:id="@+id/preview"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
>

I am still not able to preview my camera over the entire screen. I would like to know how to preview over the entire screen.

Answer 1

I found the problem. I added the following setting to Android Manifest file

<supports-screens android:largeScreens="true"
                    android:normalScreens="true"
                    android:smallScreens="true" android:xlargeScreens="true"/>

I am able to view the camera over full screen.
