I had my camera set to this.setRequestedOrientation(ActivityInfo.SCREEN_ORIENTATION_LANDSCAPE); and it works fine but if I change it to PORTRAIT instead of LANDSCAPE then it crashes with the following error...

07-30 12:51:37.655: ERROR/AndroidRuntime(22069): FATAL EXCEPTION: main
07-30 12:51:37.655: ERROR/AndroidRuntime(22069): java.lang.RuntimeException: Fail to connect to camera service

07-30 12:51:37.655: ERROR/AndroidRuntime(22069):     at org.digital.com.CamLayer.surfaceCreated(CamLayer.java:3

The method it crashes in is.. 

public void surfaceCreated(SurfaceHolder holder) {
    synchronized(this) {
        mCamera = Camera.open();

        Camera.Parameters p = mCamera.getParameters(); 
        p.setPreviewSize(800, 480);
        mCamera.setParameters(p);

        try {
            mCamera.setPreviewDisplay(holder);
        } catch (IOException e) {
            Log.e("Camera", "mCamera.setPreviewDisplay(holder);");
        }

        mCamera.startPreview();
        mCamera.setPreviewCallback(this);
    }
}

It crashes at mCamera = Camera.open();

My Manifest file has <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.CAMERA"></uses-permission>

How do I fix this so I can view my app in Portrait?

android java

this might work...

   @Override public void surfaceDestroyed(SurfaceHolder holder) {
    Log.d("surfaceDestroyed", "");
    cameraSource.stop();   //check if you have this line
  }
