CameraDevice.StateCallback

extends Object
java.lang.Object
   ↳ android.hardware.camera2.CameraDevice.StateCallback

Class Overview

A callback objects for receiving updates about the state of a camera device.

A callback instance must be provided to the openCamera(String, CameraDevice.StateCallback, Handler) method to open a camera device.

These state updates include notifications about the device completing startup ( allowing for createCaptureSession(List, CameraCaptureSession.StateCallback, Handler) to be called), about device disconnection or closure, and about unexpected device errors.

Events about the progress of specific CaptureRequests are provided through a CameraCaptureSession.CaptureCallback given to the capture(CaptureRequest, CameraCaptureSession.CaptureCallback, Handler), captureBurst(List, CameraCaptureSession.CaptureCallback, Handler), setRepeatingRequest(CaptureRequest, CameraCaptureSession.CaptureCallback, Handler), or setRepeatingBurst(List, CameraCaptureSession.CaptureCallback, Handler) methods.

Summary

Constants
int ERROR_CAMERA_DEVICE An error code that can be reported by onError(CameraDevice, int) indicating that the camera device has encountered a fatal error.
int ERROR_CAMERA_DISABLED An error code that can be reported by onError(CameraDevice, int) indicating that the camera device could not be opened due to a device policy.
int ERROR_CAMERA_IN_USE An error code that can be reported by onError(CameraDevice, int) indicating that the camera device is in use already.
int ERROR_CAMERA_SERVICE An error code that can be reported by onError(CameraDevice, int) indicating that the camera service has encountered a fatal error.
int ERROR_MAX_CAMERAS_IN_USE An error code that can be reported by onError(CameraDevice, int) indicating that the camera device could not be opened because there are too many other open camera devices.

Constants

public static final int ERROR_CAMERA_DEVICE

Added in API level 21

An error code that can be reported by onError(CameraDevice, int) indicating that the camera device has encountered a fatal error.

The camera device needs to be re-opened to be used again.

Constant Value: 4 (0x00000004)

public static final int ERROR_CAMERA_DISABLED

Added in API level 21

An error code that can be reported by onError(CameraDevice, int) indicating that the camera device could not be opened due to a device policy.

Constant Value: 3 (0x00000003)

public static final int ERROR_CAMERA_IN_USE

Added in API level 21

An error code that can be reported by onError(CameraDevice, int) indicating that the camera device is in use already.

This error can be produced when opening the camera fails due to the camera being used by a higher-priority camera API client.

Constant Value: 1 (0x00000001)

public static final int ERROR_CAMERA_SERVICE

Added in API level 21

An error code that can be reported by onError(CameraDevice, int) indicating that the camera service has encountered a fatal error.

The Android device may need to be shut down and restarted to restore camera function, or there may be a persistent hardware problem.

An attempt at recovery may be possible by closing the CameraDevice and the CameraManager, and trying to acquire all resources again from scratch.

Constant Value: 5 (0x00000005)

public static final int ERROR_MAX_CAMERAS_IN_USE

Added in API level 21

An error code that can be reported by onError(CameraDevice, int) indicating that the camera device could not be opened because there are too many other open camera devices.

The system-wide limit for number of open cameras has been reached, and more camera devices cannot be opened until previous instances are closed.

This error can be produced when opening the camera fails.

Constant Value: 2 (0x00000002)

Public Constructors

public CameraDevice.StateCallback ()

Added in API level 21

Public Methods

public void onClosed (CameraDevice camera)

Added in API level 21

The method called when a camera device has been closed with close().

Any attempt to call methods on this CameraDevice in the future will throw a IllegalStateException.

The default implementation of this method does nothing.

Parameters
camera the camera device that has become closed

public abstract void onDisconnected (CameraDevice camera)

Added in API level 21

The method called when a camera device is no longer available for use.

This callback may be called instead of onOpened(CameraDevice) if opening the camera fails.

Any attempt to call methods on this CameraDevice will throw a CameraAccessException. The disconnection could be due to a change in security policy or permissions; the physical disconnection of a removable camera device; or the camera being needed for a higher-priority camera API client.

There may still be capture callbacks that are invoked after this method is called, or new image buffers that are delivered to active outputs.

The default implementation logs a notice to the system log about the disconnection.

You should clean up the camera with close() after this happens, as it is not recoverable until the camera can be opened again. For most use cases, this will be when the camera again becomes available.

Parameters
camera the device that has been disconnected

public abstract void onError (CameraDevice camera, int error)

Added in API level 21

The method called when a camera device has encountered a serious error.

This callback may be called instead of onOpened(CameraDevice) if opening the camera fails.

This indicates a failure of the camera device or camera service in some way. Any attempt to call methods on this CameraDevice in the future will throw a CameraAccessException with the CAMERA_ERROR reason.

There may still be capture completion or camera stream callbacks that will be called after this error is received.

You should clean up the camera with close() after this happens. Further attempts at recovery are error-code specific.

Parameters
camera The device reporting the error
error The error code, one of the StateCallback.ERROR_* values.

public abstract void onOpened (CameraDevice camera)

Added in API level 21

The method called when a camera device has finished opening.

At this point, the camera device is ready to use, and createCaptureSession(List, CameraCaptureSession.StateCallback, Handler) can be called to set up the first capture session.

Parameters
camera the camera device that has become opened
