Squashed preview image

[dazziola]

Is there anyway to get the ratio of the preview (above) to mimic that of the captured image (below)?

The ratio is different across both preview and captured image which makes it difficult to use this effectively. I've tried to mess around with the Java code, but to no avail. Any help?

Do you have the problem with the plugin without to change the code ? What is the device used ? I had this problem before but I fixed it and after I tested on Nexus 5, Samsung s3 mini, Samsung s4, LG G3, and some other devices.

Hi Christophe, yes it is like this without changing any code. I have a One Plus One which is a 5.46 in (139 mm) 1920x1080 screen. It's quite large so maybe it has something to do with that?

[ChristopheBoucaut]

Maybe ... So you use cyanogen with a One Plus One ? I never try the plugin on cyanogen, maybe a case particular. I try the plugin on cyanogen and I check.

[dazziola]

Yes, it's using CM. I have access to a few different devices that I could deploy it to, so I will verify the bug on a Moto G (2014) which runs stock Android and see if the same bug applies. Thanks for the help Christophe!

I tested on cyanogen and I don't have the bug. I rebuild an application and I will test without an overlay image. Maybe a new bug when the plugin doesn't receive an overlay image.

Weird. How large is the screen you tested on? It's not just my build, I've created a few different apps and get the same result. The only difference I can think of (but it shouldn't matter) is I am using Ionic (which is built on Cordova)? Everything else works perfectly, so I can't see why Ionic would interfere with the plugin's layout or Java code.

I tested on Nexus 5 (1920x1080) and I don't have the bug :/

Can you try this apk : https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B4pG0sbdp0DCMHFlSElmSlZHMXM/view?usp=sharing.

It is my application to test the plugin. Press on an image or on the button "empty" to start the plugin.

Just tested it and I get the same problems :/.

This is odd, I'd imagine I am the only one experiencing it if no one else has raised a bug in the past.

Just for reference, it happens in landscape too.

and execute this command adb logcat -s "customCamera" in your bash to see logs. When you start the camera, I list camera resolutions found and the resolution used.

In my case, i get this:

D/customCamera(10848): 1920x1080
D/customCamera(10848): 1600x1200
D/customCamera(10848): 1280x960
D/customCamera(10848): 1280x768
D/customCamera(10848): 1280x720
D/customCamera(10848): 1024x768
D/customCamera(10848): 800x600
D/customCamera(10848): 800x480
D/customCamera(10848): 720x480
D/customCamera(10848): 640x480
D/customCamera(10848): 352x288
D/customCamera(10848): 320x240
D/customCamera(10848): 176x144
D/customCamera(10848): Resolution used: 1600x1200

because my screen has a 1920x1080 resolution but with the buttons bar (back, home, list tasks), i loose of the space so I must use a small resolution.

So mine is using the larger screen size. Have you tested it at this resolution before? I have the on screen buttons too. I still experience the "squashed effect" even with on-screen buttons disabled.
