Camera Error 100


I'm testing my application on Samsung Galaxy Ace, and I get the supported sizes with

cameraParams.getSupportedPictureSizes();

It works with all of them except of (320 x 240) - the preview turns black and I get this error: Camera Error 100


Solution

  • Camera Error 100 - "Media server died. In this case, the application must release the Camera object and instantiate a new one."

    Do what the SDK says and release the camera object and make a new one.
