Hello friends. I am creating an Android application which uses camera code. I have used android-API 2.1 . I have installed my application on dell mobile and the orientation of camera is correct. However, I installed my application in other android mobiles like Samsung Galaxy S2 etc. Here, the problem is with camera orientation, even in portrait mode the camera is rotated 90 degrees. Can anyone suggest me if any camera parameters need to be changed so that camera orientation works well on all mobiles...? Here is my code:
//class CameraDemo
public class CameraDemo extends Activity {
private static final String TAG = "CameraDemo";
Camera camera;
Preview preview;
Button buttonClick;
Button next;
/** Called when the activity is first created. */
@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
try
{
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.camdemo);
preview = new Preview(this);
((FrameLayout) findViewById(R.id.preview)).addView(preview);
buttonClick = (Button) findViewById(R.id.buttonClick);
next = (Button) findViewById(R.id.next);
buttonClick.setOnClickListener( new OnClickListener() {
public void onClick(View v) {
preview.camera.takePicture(shutterCallback, rawCallback, jpegCallback);
try{
Constants.takepic=1;
buttonClick.setEnabled(false); //once click is clicked, its disable
}
catch(Exception e)
{
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
});
next.setOnClickListener( new OnClickListener() {
public void onClick(View v) {
//preview.camera.takePicture(shutterCallback, rawCallback, jpegCallback);
if(Constants.takepic==1)
{
Intent intent_new=new Intent(CameraDemo.this,NotesAndUpload.class);
startActivity(intent_new);
}
else
{
Toast.makeText(CameraDemo.this, "Take a picture",5);
}
}
});
Log.d(TAG, "onCreate'd");
}
catch(Exception e ){}
}
ShutterCallback shutterCallback = new ShutterCallback() {
public void onShutter() {

}
};
/** Handles data for raw picture */

public void onPictureTaken(byte[] data, Camera camera) {
Log.d(TAG, "onPictureTaken - raw");
}
};
/** Handles data for jpeg picture */
PictureCallback jpegCallback = new PictureCallback() {
public void onPictureTaken(byte[] data, Camera camera) {
//taking time and date
Constants.dateValue=dateAndTime("yyyy-MM-dd");
Constants.timeValue=dateAndTime("HH:mm:ss");
FileOutputStream outStream = null;
try {
// write to local sandbox file system
// outStream =
CameraDemo.this.openFileOutput(String.format("%d.j pg",
System.currentTimeMillis()), 0);
// Or write to sdcard
long imageNameLong=System.currentTimeMillis();
Constants.imageName=new Long(imageNameLong).toString();
outStream = new
FileOutputStream(String.format("/sdcard/%d.jpg",imageNameLong));
outStream.write(data);

outStream.close();

}
public void surfaceCreated(SurfaceHolder holder) {
