I’m writing an Android application that uses the camera.
I’m setting camera display orientation to 90, my activity is in a portrait orientation:
camera.setDisplayOrientation(90);
I’m getting a well oriented preview picture, but the resulting image is rotated to -90 degrees (counter clockwise) and
exif.getAttribute(ExifInterface.TAG_ORIENTATION)
returns ORIENTATION_NORMAL
Is it expected behavior? Should I rotate resulted image after the capture?
Device – Nexus S, API – 10
Problem is the camera orientation is a complete disaster (as is capturing an image) because OEMs do not adhere to the standard. HTC phones do things one way, Samsung phones do it a different way, the Nexus line seems to adhere no matter which vendor, CM7 based ROMs I think follow the standard no matter which hardware, but you get the idea. You sort of have to determine what to do based on the phone/ROM. See discussion here: Android camera unexplainable rotation on capture for some devices (not in EXIF)
