Camera Preview Rotation Bugs

[emersoncloud]

When the devices is rotated to landscape

• The preview is distorted
• Panning is reversed. Moving the phone left or right moves the view on screen up or down

Android Device: Pixel XL
Android OS Version: 8.1

We are experiencing the same issue.

Actually switching to front camera and back will fix the distortion.

try to use version “0.13.0” sloved

[pinigtech]

The default branch handles landscape better than the 1.0.0 in general

Hey guys, can you test on the newest version 1.0.0-beta3.1? I just tested on a Google Pixel XL with Android 9.0 and I did not have any rotation issues. The implementation details changed a bit so check the bottom of the PR #318 to see how to get it running. Thanks!

On One Plus 6 camera preview does not work, with or without rotation in beta3.1. Gives a class definition not found exception. Had reported it in another bug. On the other branch I have some interesting twists to report. On 0.13.1 and 0.13.2 the portrait works perfectly. The landscape also shows a good preview till you take a picture and then it goes all distorted and crazy. Not twisted enough? It works perfectly ok on 0.13.0 - before and after the click... So I guess there are some regression bugs in that branch as far as One Plus 6 is concerned.

@pinigtech Did you add the Kotlin line to the app build.gradle?

repositories {
    maven { url 'https://dl.bintray.com/camerakit/camerakit-android' }
}

dependencies {
    implementation 'com.camerakit:camerakit:1.0.0-beta3.1'
    implementation 'org.jetbrains.kotlin:kotlin-stdlib-jdk7:1.2.60'
}

[pinigtech]

Ok I was missing the kotlin-stdlib-jdk7:1.2.60 and that's why the no class def error - will test some more update...

Ok so here is what I find from the test. The no class def found exception is not coming anymore but the rest of the behavior stays the same: To elaborate - w ith the same code base, when I change the gradle between 1.0.0..Snapshots and 1.0.0.beta3.1 - the camera preview works in snapshot and shoes a black screen in beta3 .1 : *Camera Preview works with:* repositories { maven { url ' https://dl.bintray.com/camerakit/camerakit-android-snapshots <https://mailtrack.io/trace/link/1a817a6c91037c4c6863569fd48fa26c4763737e?url=https%3A%2F%2Fdl.bintray.com%2Fcamerakit%2Fcamerakit-android-snapshots&userId=2291577&signature=91265b4708a48c75>' } } dependencies { implementation 'com.camerakit:camerakit:1.0.0-Snapshot' } *Camera Preview does not work with:* repositories { maven { url 'https://dl.bintray.com/camerakit/camerakit-android <https://mailtrack.io/trace/link/00e563417b9e358cac076ab6de2d1c516695e7f8?url=https%3A%2F%2Fdl.bintray.com%2Fcamerakit%2Fcamerakit-android&userId=2291577&signature=7262691e189dfeac>' } } dependencies { implementation 'com.camerakit:camerakit:1.0.0-beta3.1' implementation 'org.jetbrains.kotlin:kotlin-stdlib-jdk7:1.2.60' } All of the above is for One Plus 6

I'm still seeing this exact problem on my Sony XPeria - everything goes weird after rotation. CameraKit seems really good but this is a showstopper for me- if I know what the correct rotation is supposed to be, is there any way I can manually fix up CameraView?

[emersoncloud]

Hey @glenatron, check out #427 for a possible solution for this issue. Try removing the following from your AndroidManifest.xml.

<activity>
    android:configChanges="orientation|screenLayout"
