Hi, I'm trying to modify the SurfaceView I use for doing a camera preview in order to display an overlaying square. However, the onDraw method of the extended SurfaceView is never called.
Here is the source :
public class CameraPreviewView extends SurfaceView {
protected final Paint rectanglePaint = new Paint();
public CameraPreviewView(Context context, AttributeSet attrs) {
super(context, attrs);
rectanglePaint.setARGB(255, 200, 0, 0);
rectanglePaint.setStyle(Paint.Style.FILL);
rectanglePaint.setStrokeWidth(2);
}
@Override
protected void onDraw(Canvas canvas){
canvas.drawRect(new Rect(10,10,200,200), rectanglePaint);
Log.w(this.getClass().getName(), "On Draw Called");
}
}
public class CameraPreview extends Activity implements SurfaceHolder.Callback{
private SurfaceHolder holder;
private Camera camera;
@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState){
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
// We remove the status bar, title bar and make the application fullscreen
requestWindowFeature(Window.FEATURE_NO_TITLE);
getWindow().setFlags(WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_FULLSCREEN,
WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_FULLSCREEN);
// We set the content view to be the layout we made
setContentView(R.layout.camera_preview);
// We register the activity to handle the callbacks of the SurfaceView
CameraPreviewView surfaceView = (CameraPreviewView) findViewById(R.id.camera_surface);
holder = surfaceView.getHolder();
holder.addCallback(this);
holder.setType(SurfaceHolder.SURFACE_TYPE_PUSH_BUFFERS);
}
public void surfaceChanged(SurfaceHolder holder, int format, int width,
int height) {
Camera.Parameters params = camera.getParameters();
params.setPreviewSize(width, height);
camera.setParameters(params);
try {
camera.setPreviewDisplay(holder);
} catch (IOException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
camera.startPreview();
}
public void surfaceCreated(SurfaceHolder holder) {
camera = Camera.open();
}
public void surfaceDestroyed(SurfaceHolder holder) {
camera.stopPreview();
camera.release();
}
}
