Camerakit-android: Picture rotate on the Sumsung phone.

[Forsaken-sl]

Hi, this libs really helps a lot, thanks.
But the picture I take within the app, it will rotate -90 on Sumsung phones.
And usully I can get the Exif info with the rotation, but I can't get the rotations with this libs, really confuse me..
So if you have time, please check this out?
By the way, the sumsung phone is SM-G900F and Api 21

you have to get exif images then rotate image with this code. after save bitmap on taken picture. This is the best solution of rotated images.

        switch(orientation) {

            case ExifInterface.ORIENTATION_ROTATE_90:
                selectedBitmap =rotateImage(selectedBitmap, 90);
                break;

            case ExifInterface.ORIENTATION_ROTATE_180:
                selectedBitmap =  rotateImage(selectedBitmap, 180);
                break;

            case ExifInterface.ORIENTATION_ROTATE_270:
                selectedBitmap =  rotateImage(selectedBitmap, 270);
                break;

            case ExifInterface.ORIENTATION_NORMAL:
                selectedBitmap =  rotateImage(selectedBitmap, 0);

            default:
                break;
        }

I had the same issue, but solved it by using a different method of taking a picture by calling this function in the code:

cameraView.setMethod(CameraKit.Constants.METHOD_STILL);

Or this in you layout file:

camerakit:ckMethod="still"

Dewinster, that's an amazingly helpful tip.

Thank you so much - I wish I could send money! :)

cameraView.setMethod(CameraKit.Constants.METHOD_STILL);

Hi,

camerakit:ckMethod="still" is a nice way to solve the problem as the preview is returned but is there any other way so that i can use the flash which works only in standard mode when image is taken from camera ?

Has this issue been resolved? I'm still getting this problem with an samsung galaxy 10.1 (SM-T580) android 7.0
The output file is just randomly rotated 90 degree, i've fixed the screen orientation so the capture and preview screen are always correct

 if (jpeg != null) {
            imageView.setVisibility(View.VISIBLE);

            Bitmap bitmap = BitmapFactory.decodeByteArray(jpeg, 0, jpeg.length);
            if (bitmap == null) {
                finish();
                return;
            }

            imageView.setImageBitmap(bitmap);
            actualResolution.setText(bitmap.getWidth() + " x " + bitmap.getHeight());
            approxUncompressedSize.setText(getApproximateFileMegabytes(bitmap) + "MB");
            captureLatency.setText(ResultHolder.getTimeToCallback() + " milliseconds");
            File savedPhoto = new File(Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory(), "photo.jpg");
            try {
                FileOutputStream outputStream = new FileOutputStream(savedPhoto.getPath());
                outputStream.write(jpeg);
                outputStream.close();
            } catch (java.io.IOException e) {
                e.printStackTrace();
            }


        }
