I can´t find the problem. Any hints?

If it is Relevant: Device is Samsund Note 8, Android 8.0

I found this Answer from @Erel

Report of a similar issue: https://stackoverflow.com/questions...-a-samsung-device-using-scameracapturesession

Maybe the default preview size is not supported. Check the values returned by CamEx2.SupportedPreviewSizes. Try to change CamEx2.PreviewSize.

I checked the PreviewSize.
- The Default Size IS supported.
- I tried to use other values (from the list of supported sizes). No change

 

[DonManfred]

Thank you for your Like, @Erel.

I checked the PreviewSize.
- The Default Size IS supported.
- I tried to use other values (from the list of supported sizes). No change

Maybe it was not clear.

I should have written
But unfortunately no change. The Error still happen.

Not solved as of now.

 

[Erel]

When exactly does the error happen? Are you in still mode?

Do you see the preview frames?

What happens if you change line 94 to:

Camera.StartSession(tv, PreviewSize, CaptureSize, 0, 0, False)

 

[DonManfred]

When exactly does the error happen?

in PrepareSurface resp. in Camera.StartSession

Erm... I don´t know? What is "Still mode"?

Do you see the preview frames?

No.

What happens if you change line 94 to:

The same error

[Erel]

Not video mode.

 

[DonManfred]

Not video mode.

No. As i am using this activity only for capturing Video. The VideoMode is set to true in activity_create.

 

[Erel]

Does this example work in non-video mode: https://www.b4x.com/android/forum/threads/camera2-still-images-and-videos.83920/ ?

 

[DonManfred]

I ran the example without changes.

After Permissionrequest i took a picture. This was successfully.

Then i clicked on the button to change the mode. It then crashes with the same error.

If it is relevant: i am using the Activity in my App in forced Landscape mode using

SetActivityAttribute(CaptureVideo, android:screenOrientation, "landscape")

 

[Erel]

Try the attached version (1.11). Test it with the CamEx2 example.

 

[DonManfred]

Thank you!

I did try it with the unchanged camex2 example.
It does work on my Note 8. Picture and Video can be captured. No error happens.

i´ll try it tomorrow in my app when i´m at work again. It is an App for the company and i do not have the source here at my home. So for now i could only test with the camex2. But i can confirm that v1.11 does work with it. I´ll report the result here tomorrow nut i expect it to work as in camex2,

 

[Erel]

Great. Seems like this long time issue is solved.

 

[DonManfred]

I´m at work now.
As Expected, it does work in my app at work.

I just updated the internal library, did a new Compile and the Video Record is working even in my App (not in CamEx Source).

Great. Seems like this long time issue is solved.

What was the problem then?

 

[DonManfred]

Great. Seems like this long time issue is solved.

Worth to publish the new Internal Library?

 

[Erel]

Worth to publish the new Internal Library?

Done.

What was the problem then?

Camera2 library is based on Google examples. Apparently for the video capture to work on Samsung devices there is an extra step needed related to the way the surface is created.
