The surface has been released Media Codec

Question

I'm trying to code a encoder/decoder to send a camera through a TCP server and display it with a SurfaceView, when I do decodec.configure I have the "The surface has been released"

This is my code:

SurfaceHolder.Callback callback1 = new SurfaceHolder.Callback() {

    @Override
    public void surfaceCreated(SurfaceHolder surfaceHolder) {
        Log.d(TAG,"inSurfaceCreated");
        hasActiveHolder = true;
    }

    @Override
    public void surfaceChanged(SurfaceHolder surfaceHolder, int i, int i1, int i2) {
        Log.d(TAG,"inSurfaceChanged");
    }

    @Override
    public void surfaceDestroyed(SurfaceHolder surfaceHolder) {
        Log.d(TAG,"inSurfaceDestroyed");
        hasActiveHolder = false;
    }
};
FrameLayout frameLayout1=findViewById(R.id.frameLayout);
SurfaceView surfaceView = new SurfaceView(this);
SurfaceHolder holder1 = (surfaceView.getHolder());
holder1.addCallback(callback1);
Surface surfaceAffichage = holder1.getSurface();
frameLayout1.addView(surfaceView);
//while(!hasActiveHolder){ }

MediaFormat mediaFormat = MediaFormat.createVideoFormat(MediaFormat.MIMETYPE_VIDEO_AVC, 640, 640);
mediaFormat.setInteger(MediaFormat.KEY_BIT_RATE, 1000000);
mediaFormat.setInteger(MediaFormat.KEY_FRAME_RATE, 20);
mediaFormat.setInteger(MediaFormat.KEY_COLOR_FORMAT, MediaCodecInfo.CodecCapabilities.COLOR_FormatYUV420Flexible);
mediaFormat.setInteger(MediaFormat.KEY_I_FRAME_INTERVAL, 1);
final MediaCodec decodec = MediaCodec.createDecoderByType("video/avc");
decodec.configure(mediaFormat, surfaceAffichage, null, 0);

If I remove the comment on while loop, I wait forever and the program never gets in the callback surfaceCreated

Can someone help me?

You need to initialize the decoder in the SurfaceHoler.Callback's surfaceCreated body. This callback notifies you when the underlying surface has been created.

Additionally: while(!hasActiveHolder){ } don't do this. If there is a callback use it to kick off the rest of your logic. If you really need to check if some event has happened periodically, introduce wait times and synchronize variable access.
