Trying to switch camera back to front but getting exception. cant find the problem Please Check and help.. error:- 01-27 11:49:00.376: E/AndroidRuntime(30767): java.lang.RuntimeE

Solution 1:

Stop the camera previous instance before switching to other :

if (camera != null) {
        camera.stopPreview();
        camera.setPreviewCallback(null);
        camera.release();
        camera = null;
        surfaceholder.removeCallback(CameraActivity.this);
        surfaceholder = null;
}

And finish current camera activity, call start intent of same camera activity.

Solution 2:

First, destroy your surface, release the camera and recreate surface manually. Like this:

surfaceDestroy(holder);
surfaceCreated(holder);
surfaceChanged(holder,format,width,height); 

It solved my problem, it may help you.
