Wallpaper setbitmap displays black screen android

When using serBitmap through WallpaperManager ie., wallpaperManager.setBitmap(wallpaperBitmap); I am getting black screen when new wallpaper been set. How to remove the black screen when transition from old wallpaper to new wallpaper?
From where this black screen been displayed in aosp 10?
Below is the code snippet:
setUserWallpaper(this,"test");
private void setUserWallPaper(final Context context, final String userName) {
setUserWallpaperRunnable =
new Runnable() {
#Override
public void run() {
Log.i(TAG, "setUserWallPaper() run");
InputStream in = null;
OutputStream out = null;
try {
in = new BufferedInputStream(
context.getContentResolver()
.openInputStream(
Uri.parse(
"content://test.app.personalization.provider/" +
"wall_paper" +
"?user=" +
userName +
"&encryption=false"))
);
Bitmap wallpaperBitmap = BitmapFactory.decodeStream(in);
if(wallpaperBitmap != null){
WallpaperManager wallpaperManager = WallpaperManager.getInstance(context);
wallpaperManager.setBitmap(wallpaperBitmap);
} else {
Log.i(TAG, "user wallpaper is null.");
}
Log.i(TAG, "setUserWallPaper() end");
} catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
} finally {
try {
if (in != null) {
in.close();
}
if(out != null) {
out.close();
}
} catch (IOException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
}
};
sUserCustomizeWorker.post(setUserWallpaperRunnable);
}

I know this bug.
Problem: Bitmap is too big for wallpaper so you have to rescale the bitmap.
Rule: bitmap width < device width * 2 and bitmap height < device height * 2.

Custom Camera Preview Issue (Stretch)

I'm having a problem with my camera app.
My app has:
1) a CameraActivity.class and
2) a CameraPreview.class.
CameraPreview implement a surfaceView where it's called from CameraActivity for the actual preview. (Also in CameraActivity I have the parameters)
Now the problem: When the preview is starting the preview is stretched.
I tried a lot of things (so many that I cannot recall)
I need someone to tell me what to write and where. Thanks in advance.
Here is the CameraActivity(Not all the code but the important I think)
private PictureCallback mPicture = new PictureCallback() {
public void onPictureTaken(byte[] data, Camera camera) {
// Replacing the button after a photho was taken.
flBtnContainer.setVisibility(View.GONE);
ibRetake.setVisibility(View.VISIBLE);
ibUse.setVisibility(View.VISIBLE);
// File name of the image that we just took.
fileName = "IMG_" + new SimpleDateFormat("yyyyMMdd_HHmmss").format(new Date()).toString() + ".jpg";
// Creating the directory where to save the image. Sadly in older
// version of Android we can not get the Media catalog name
File mkDir = new File(sdRoot, dir);
mkDir.mkdirs();
// Main file where to save the data that we recive from the camera
File pictureFile = new File(sdRoot, dir + fileName);
try {
FileOutputStream purge = new FileOutputStream(pictureFile);
purge.write(data);
purge.close();
} catch (FileNotFoundException e) {
Log.d("DG_DEBUG", "File not found: " + e.getMessage());
} catch (IOException e) {
Log.d("DG_DEBUG", "Error accessing file: " + e.getMessage());
}
// Adding Exif data for the orientation. For some strange reason the
// ExifInterface class takes a string instead of a file.
try {
exif = new ExifInterface("/sdcard/" + dir + fileName);
exif.setAttribute(ExifInterface.TAG_ORIENTATION, "" + orientation);
exif.saveAttributes();
} catch (IOException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
Intent intent = new Intent(CameraActivity.this, PicturePreview.class);
Bundle extras = new Bundle();
extras.putString("ImagePath", String.valueOf(pictureFile));
intent.putExtras(extras);
startActivity(intent);
//SendBroadcasts let's us instantly update the SD card with our image
sendBroadcast(new Intent(Intent.ACTION_MEDIA_SCANNER_SCAN_FILE, Uri.parse("file://"+Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory())));
}
};
private void createCamera() {
// Create an instance of Camera
mCamera = getCameraInstance();
// Setting the right parameters in the camera
Camera.Parameters params = mCamera.getParameters();
params.setRotation(90);
mCamera.setParameters(params);
// Create our Preview view and set it as the content of our activity.
mPreview = new CameraPreview(this, mCamera);
FrameLayout preview = (FrameLayout) findViewById(R.id.camera_preview);
preview.addView(mPreview, 0);
}
#Override
protected void onResume() {
super.onResume();
// Test if there is a camera on the device and if the SD card is
// mounted.
if (!checkCameraHardware(this)) {
Intent i = new Intent(this, NoCamera.class);
startActivity(i);
finish();
} else if (!checkSDCard()) {
Intent i = new Intent(this, NoSDCard.class);
startActivity(i);
finish();
}
// Creating the camera
createCamera();
// Register this class as a listener for the accelerometer sensor
////sensorManager.registerListener(this, sensorManager.getDefaultSensor(Sensor.TYPE_ACCELEROMETER), SensorManager.SENSOR_DELAY_NORMAL);
}
#Override
protected void onPause() {
super.onPause();
// release the camera immediately on pause event
releaseCamera();
// removing the inserted view - so when we come back to the app we
// won't have the views on top of each other.
FrameLayout preview = (FrameLayout) findViewById(R.id.camera_preview);
preview.removeViewAt(0);
}
And here is the CameraPreview.class
public class CameraPreview extends SurfaceView implements SurfaceHolder.Callback {
private SurfaceHolder mHolder;
private Camera mCamera;
boolean isPreviewRunning = true;
public CameraPreview(Context context, Camera camera) {
super(context);
mCamera = camera;
// Install a SurfaceHolder.Callback so we get notified when the
// underlying surface is created and destroyed.
mHolder = getHolder();
mHolder.addCallback(this);
// deprecated setting, but required on Android versions prior to 3.0
mHolder.setType(SurfaceHolder.SURFACE_TYPE_PUSH_BUFFERS);
mHolder.setFixedSize(100, 100);
}
public void surfaceCreated(SurfaceHolder holder) {
// The Surface has been created, now tell the camera where to draw the
// preview.
try {
mCamera.setPreviewDisplay(holder);
mCamera.setDisplayOrientation(90);
mCamera.startPreview();
} catch (IOException e) {
Log.d("DG_DEBUG", "Error setting camera preview: " + e.getMessage());
}
}
public void surfaceChanged(SurfaceHolder holder,
int format, int width, int height) {
if (isPreviewRunning){
return;
}
isPreviewRunning = true;
// If your preview can change or rotate, take care of those events here.
// Make sure to stop the preview before resizing or reformatting it.
if (mHolder.getSurface() == null) {
// preview surface does not exist
return;
}
// stop preview before making changes
try {
mCamera.stopPreview();
} catch (Exception e) {
// ignore: tried to stop a non-existent preview
}
// make any resize, rotate or reformatting changes here
// start preview with new settings
try {
mCamera.setPreviewDisplay(mHolder);
mCamera.startPreview();
} catch (Exception e) {
Log.d("DG_DEBUG", "Error starting camera preview: " + e.getMessage());
}
}
public void surfaceDestroyed(SurfaceHolder holder) {
// empty. Take care of releasing the Camera preview in your activity.
}
}
Can someone tell what am I missing? If possible I can chat in Facebook or something for faster resolve of my problem..
Update: #LikeWhiteOnRice's solution.
Here is my original code

Any thoughts?

I added the code below to my camera preview class and it works for most devices. Just so you are aware, the camera library in Android is horrible and a huge pain to work with.
Put this function in your CameraPreview class:
private Camera.Size getOptimalSize(List<Camera.Size> sizes, int h, int w) {
final double ASPECT_TOLERANCE = 0.05;
double targetRatio = (double) w/h;
if (sizes == null) {
return null;
}
Camera.Size optimalSize = null;
double minDiff = Double.MAX_VALUE;
int targetHeight = h;
for (Camera.Size size : sizes) {
double ratio = (double) size.width / size.height;
if (Math.abs(ratio - targetRatio) > ASPECT_TOLERANCE) continue;
if (Math.abs(size.height - targetHeight) < minDiff) {
optimalSize = size;
minDiff = Math.abs(size.height - targetHeight);
}
}
if (optimalSize == null) {
minDiff = Double.MAX_VALUE;
for (Camera.Size size : sizes) {
if (Math.abs(size.height - targetHeight) < minDiff) {
optimalSize = size;
minDiff = Math.abs(size.height - targetHeight);
}
}
}
return optimalSize;
}
In your surefaceCreated function, add this before you start your preview:
Camera.Parameters cameraParameters = mCamera.getParameters();
List<Camera.Size> previewSizes = cameraParameters.getSupportedPreviewSizes();
Camera.Size optimalPreviewSize = getOptimalSize(previewSizes, getResources().getDisplayMetrics().widthPixels, getResources().getDisplayMetrics().heightPixels);
cameraParameters.setPreviewSize(optimalPreviewSize.width, optimalPreviewSize.height);
mCamera.setParameters(cameraParameters);
Edit: Also, I'm not sure if you want
mHolder.setFixedSize(100, 100);
in your constructor.

Take picture with front camera in android service

I need to take a picture with the back camera in an android service but after reading the docs it seems you need a SurfaceView is it possible to take a picture without showing anything to the user?
Edit:
Will this work?
SurfaceTexture surfaceTexture = new SurfaceTexture(10);
Camera camera = Camera.open();
camera.getParameters().setPreviewSize(1, 1);
camera.setPreviewTexture(surfaceTexture);
camera.startPreview();
camera.takePicture(null, pictureCallback, null);

100% working . click picture from front camera using service .
public class MyService extends Service {
#Nullable
#Override
public IBinder onBind(Intent intent) {
return null;
}
#Override
public void onCreate() {
super.onCreate();
CapturePhoto();
}
private void CapturePhoto() {
Log.d("kkkk","Preparing to take photo");
Camera camera = null;
Camera.CameraInfo cameraInfo = new Camera.CameraInfo();
int frontCamera = 1;
//int backCamera=0;
Camera.getCameraInfo(frontCamera, cameraInfo);
try {
camera = Camera.open(frontCamera);
} catch (RuntimeException e) {
Log.d("kkkk","Camera not available: " + 1);
camera = null;
//e.printStackTrace();
}
try {
if (null == camera) {
Log.d("kkkk","Could not get camera instance");
} else {
Log.d("kkkk","Got the camera, creating the dummy surface texture");
try {
camera.setPreviewTexture(new SurfaceTexture(0));
camera.startPreview();
} catch (Exception e) {
Log.d("kkkk","Could not set the surface preview texture");
e.printStackTrace();
}
camera.takePicture(null, null, new Camera.PictureCallback() {
#Override
public void onPictureTaken(byte[] data, Camera camera) {
File pictureFileDir=new File("/sdcard/CaptureByService");
if (!pictureFileDir.exists() && !pictureFileDir.mkdirs()) {
pictureFileDir.mkdirs();
}
SimpleDateFormat dateFormat = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyymmddhhmmss");
String date = dateFormat.format(new Date());
String photoFile = "ServiceClickedPic_" + "_" + date + ".jpg";
String filename = pictureFileDir.getPath() + File.separator + photoFile;
File mainPicture = new File(filename);
try {
FileOutputStream fos = new FileOutputStream(mainPicture);
fos.write(data);
fos.close();
Log.d("kkkk","image saved");
} catch (Exception error) {
Log.d("kkkk","Image could not be saved");
}
camera.release();
}
});
}
} catch (Exception e) {
camera.release();
}
}
}

You can set Width and Height of SurfaceView to 1dp and margintop to -10,so that it wont display it on screen but it functions as normal and you can Take picture without displaying Surface View to User
<SurfaceView
android:layout_width="1dp"
android:layout_height="1dp"
android:layout_marginTop="-10dp"
...
/>
in that case you can just use SurfaceTexture
SurfaceTexture surfaceTexture = new SurfaceTexture(10);
Camera camera = Camera.open();
camera.getParameters().setPreviewSize(1, 1);
camera.setPreviewTexture(surfaceTexture);

Yes it is possible. call your Camera Callback method to take picture from camera and Dont specify the size for preview and just start the preview it will work .
Omit this Step :
param.setPreviewSize(122,133);
or use
param.setPreviewSize(1, 1);

Android: Camera surfaceview is blurry

I am building my own camera app using the android camera api. I have a working app but the preview is not as sharp as the default camera app. Why is this the case? Here is my code below.

If you can point me in the right direction that would be great.

Did you ever tried to increase these values in your showCamera class:
private static final int PICTURE_SIZE_MAX_WIDTH = 640;
private static final int PREVIEW_SIZE_MAX_WIDTH = 640;

why does camera's live preview rotates 90 degrees?

I've written a camera application, but when I want to show the camera's live preview(before taking the picture), the preview is rotated 90 degrees! here is my camera activity's code :
public class CameraActivity extends Activity{

// Create our Preview view and set it as the content of our activity.
mPreview = new CameraPreview(this, mCamera);
FrameLayout preview = (FrameLayout) findViewById(R.id.camera_preview);
ViewGroup.LayoutParams previewParam = preview.getLayoutParams() ;

and in my application's manifest I've changed this activities orientation to portrait!
What is the problem ? why does it look like this ?

This happens to be a bug in earlier versions of Android.
A workaround is to rotate the camera by default.
if (this.getResources().getConfiguration().orientation != Configuration.ORIENTATION_LANDSCAPE) {
camera.setDisplayOrientation(90);
lp.height = previewSurfaceHeight;
lp.width = (int) (previewSurfaceHeight / aspect);
} else {
camera.setDisplayOrientation(0);
lp.width = previewSurfaceWidth;
lp.height = (int) (previewSurfaceWidth / aspect);
}
