42,478 PointsSet view w/h programatically
So I am working with the camera API (1 not 2) and I am displaying its output on a surface. In landscape mode the camera is capturing in 16:9 so having my CameraPreiviewView hard set to 200dp x 133dp. However in portrait mode it captures in 4:3 (i am guessing) so a hard coded w/h on the view doesn't look right, things get skewed. If I set the view to wrap_content the image displays very clean and maintains its proper aspect ratio. however it takes up 100% of the screen which isn't what I want.
Is there a way to do this programatically or do I need to wrap the view in another container and specify a max w/h on that?
Ben Jakuben, Ben Deitch or anyone else know how to do this?
