Question

I have a question that is follow up on Android Camera Server Died and Camera ERROR 100

I am getting similar error in my code. This error comes in automated test in which we are running many applications randomly. After a very long time we see this error :

E/Camera ( 2088): [Camera.java:570:handleMessage()] Error 100

In your message you have written that you have solved this issue, could you please tell what you did to resolve this issue?

Answer 1

I got that error in emulator, solved by removing camera.setPreviewDisplay(holder) from surfaceCreated() and calling it only in surfaceChanged().

I'm a newbie but I hope this helps.
