an error occurred by CameraX.bindToLifecycle()

Question

java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: No supported surface combination is found for camera device - Id : 0. May be attempting to bind too many use cases.

why the bindToLifecycle() only choose imageCapture or videoCapture?

 CameraX.bindToLifecycle(lifecycleOwner, mPreview, imageCapture,videoCapture)

Did you manage to fix this issue or maybe did you figure out a workaround? I'm having the exact same issue. — steliosf, Aug 01 '20 at 22:34

You are binding more UseCases than your device's camera supports. Not all devices can support two ImageAnalyzers.

Try reducing your analyzers,

CameraX.bindToLifecycle(lifecycleOwner, mPreview, imageCapture or videoCapture)

I have tested with many devices, so far, among the devices that I tested, only Google Pixel 1 works with three analyzers.

To suggest a hack, remove imageCapture analyzer, try to get images from preview for imageCapture and use videoCapture.

Hope it helps.

There is no videoCapture usecase right now.

As mentioned in the official documentation, the available usecases are preview, analysis & image capture (and their combinations).

I got the same error when I tried to create imageCapture, videoCapture, mPreview or the analyzer with different settings between each other.

Try to set in the builder setting the same parameters, e.g. if you want:

setLensFacing(CameraX.LensFacing.BACK)

Set in all the setting builders the same. This can fix your error but still, I don't know if the library support this feature jet.

ImageCaptureConfig imgCConfig = new ImageCaptureConfig.Builder().setCaptureMode(ImageCapture.CaptureMode.MIN_LATENCY) .setTargetRotation(getWindowManager().getDefaultDisplay().getRotation()).setLensFacing( CameraX.LensFacing.BACK).build(); – full Error Dec 13 '19 at 10:46

I got the same error while popping fragment with camera view from backstack, I fixed it by unbinding all analysers when view exits.

CameraX.unbindAll()

As suggested here.

This works but it refreshes the screen. How to avoid that ? – Vikas Acharya Nov 19 '20 at 07:11

A workaround is to bind Preview with VideoCapture, and Preview with ImageCapture separately. Binding Preview, ImageCapture and VideoCapture appears to be an issue on a few devices currently. When switching between the two be careful to unbindAll first.

This may be because the VideoCapture UseCase is not officially supported yet, as of 1.0.0-Beta10.

fun startVideoCapture() {
        ...
                cameraProvider.unbindAll()
                cameraProvider.bindToLifecycle(
                                lifecycleOwner,
                                cameraSelected,
                                previewUseCase,
                                videoCaptureUseCase
                            )
                }
fun startImageCapture() {
        ...
                cameraProvider.unbindAll()
                cameraProvider.bindToLifecycle(
                                lifecycleOwner,
                                cameraSelected,
                                previewUseCase,
                                imageCaptureUseCase
                            )
                }
