QUESTION
Camera2 API allows us to specify the thread (passing the Handler
instance) on which we recieve the callbacks containing CameraDevice
, CameraCaptureSession
, CaptureResult
etc. We use the information from these callbacks to configure capture session, create capture requests and obtain capture results. However, when the user controls the camera configuration (e.g. focusing, metering) through the UI, he makes it from the main thread. Here we, developers, have two options:
- Use the Camera2 API calls (e.g.
CameraCaptureSession.capture
) "directly" from any thread (includingmain thread
). Here we need to manage the session state and syncrhonize access to the Camera2 API. - Move all Camera2 API calls to the "CameraThread". Send the message to the "CameraThread" using
Handler
whenever we need access to Camera2 API. So we will actually use it only from the single thread ("CameraThread").
Please, let me clarify what I mean. Suppose that we created HandlerThread
for Camera2 API callbacks.

Answered 2020-Sep-22 at 22:35They're both viable. "Better" depends on a bunch of factors such as the size of the codebase, and how many different places in the code will be wanting to use the session and device.
There's some minor overhead in sending the callback to the camera handler thread, plus more boilerplate to write, so for smaller apps, just making calls from whatever thread you're in and synchronizing appropriately works fine.
However, as your app's complexity grows, it starts becoming attractive to keep all interaction with the camera API to a single thread; not just because you don't have to synchronize explicitly, but because it's easier to reason about ownership, the state of the system, and so on, if every interaction with the camera object happens on the same thread. Also, since some of the camera API methods can block for extended time periods, you really don't want to freeze your UI for that long anyway. So sending the calls to another thread is valuable.
So it's a tradeoff of some extra boilerplate + minor overhead vs. inability to centralize camera code in one place for simplicity and smoothness.
QUESTION
There are a couple of samples to get the relative rotation from the camera sensor to the current device orientation, e.g. for using it for correcting camera preview or for MediaRecorder.setOrientationHint(int)
But the newest method from the latest official github camera samples works different than older methods (for deprecated camera2 API and method from archived camera2 sample)
Here's my sample code that uses all methods and logs all results, we can see that function computeRelativeRotationCamera2New
returns different result for Surface.ROTATION_90
and Surface.ROTATION_270
display rotation
So what is the correct method to do it?
...ANSWER
Answered 2020-Jul-31 at 07:19Tested recorded videos with different methods and found out that the newest method from the latest sample is incorrect for landscape video recording, it plays videos upside down
I decided to update old method that uses deprecated camera api to use camera2 api (works for 21+ API) and use it in my project
