Android Question CameraEx2 getSupportedPreviewFormats

[walterf25]

Hi all, i was wondering if someone could tell me if it would be possible to get the supported preview formats using the CameraEx2 class, i'm not too familiar with JavaObject, i have tried but am not able to get anywhere, please if anyone has tried this before and can share the code it would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Walter

I think you don't need JavaObject.

Try something like this:

    Dim Cam As Camera2
    Dim l As List

    l.Initialize
    Cam.Initialize("Camera")
    l = Cam.GetSupportedPreviewSizes(0)
    Log(l)

(ArrayList) [4128x3096, 4128x2322, 3264x2448, 3264x1836, 3088x3088, 2048x1536, 2048x1152, 1920x1080, 1280x720, 960x720, 720x480, 640x480, 352x288, 320x240, 256x144, 176x144]

Thank you but i am referring to the PreviewFormat not PreviewSizes, for example NV21, Raw10 etc. i don't see that method being exposed in this library, but i'm assuming it can be done with JavaObject, i have tried the following:

Dim JO As JavaObject
JO = Camera
JO.RunMethod("getPreviewFormats", null)

I get an error saying getPreviewFormats doesn't exist in the anywheresoftware.ba.cam2 class.

Thanks,

Add this to CamEx2:

Public Sub getSupportedOutputFormats As Int()
   Dim StreamConfigurationMap As JavaObject = jcamera.RunMethod("GetScalerStreamConfiguration", Array(id))
   Return StreamConfigurationMap.RunMethod("getOutputFormats", Null)
End Sub

Public Sub getSupportedOutputFormats As Int()
   Dim StreamConfigurationMap As JavaObject = jcamera.RunMethod("GetScalerStreamConfiguration", Array(id))
   Return StreamConfigurationMap.RunMethod("getOutputFormats", Null)
End Sub

Thank you @Erel, this worked great, i get the following formats are supported.

format: 32
format: 256
format: 34
format: 35

If I pass 35 as a parameter to this function in the Camex2 Class library

'Prepared the surface for still capture.
Public Sub PrepareSurface (MyTaskIndex As Int) As ResumableSub
    If MyTaskIndex <> TaskIndex Then Return False
    CloseSession
    Wait For (CreateSurface) Complete (Result As Boolean)
    If MyTaskIndex <> TaskIndex Then Return False
    Camera.StartSession(tv, PreviewSize, CaptureSize, 35, 0, False) '256 = JPEG
    Wait For Camera_SessionConfigured (Success As Boolean)
    If MyTaskIndex <> TaskIndex Then Return False
    Return Success
End Sub

Then I get the following error, any idea on how to go around that?

Start success: true
format: 32
format: 256
format: 34
format: 35

35 is the default preview format:

Camera.StartSession(tv, PreviewSize, CaptureSize, 256, 35, False)

You are passing 0.

I tried this and it works but i still don't see the camera_previewtaken(Image As Object) event being raised.

You should instead use a timer and call CamEx2.GetPreviewBitmap.
