RuntimeException on Camera.setParameters() on nexus one

Question

I copied the code from the answer here and I still am getting a RuntimeException: setParameters failed error on my nexus one. My manifest file has camera and wake_lock permissions. This works on the emulator, and on the droid I don't get the error but it does have a rotation problem.

Answer 1

You're most likely requsting an invalid preview size. If you check the results of adb logcat you'll probably see something like this:

E/QualcommCameraHardware(22732): Invalid preview size requested: 480x724 

The solution is to request the closest available preview size to the one you'd like; you can get a list of available preview sizes by calling getSupportedPreviewSizes in the Camera.Parameters object returned by Camera.getParameters.
