    private Camera.Size getBestPreviewSize(int width, int height,
            Camera.Parameters parameters) {
        Camera.Size result=null;

        for (Camera.Size size : parameters.getSupportedPreviewSizes()) {

            try {
                camera.setPreviewDisplay(previewHolder);
            }
            catch (Throwable t) {
                Log.e("PreviewDemo-surfaceCallback",
                    "Exception in setPreviewDisplay()", t);
                Toast
                    .makeText(PreviewDemo.this, t.getMessage(), Toast.LENGTH_LONG)
                    .show();
            }

            if (!cameraConfigured) {
                Camera.Parameters parameters=camera.getParameters();
                Camera.Size size=getBestPreviewSize(width, height,
                    parameters);

                if (size!=null) {
                    parameters.setPreviewSize(size.width, size.height);
                    camera.setParameters(parameters);
                    cameraConfigured=true;
                }
            }
        }
    }

    private void startPreview() {
        if (cameraConfigured && camera!=null) {
            camera.startPreview();
            inPreview=true;
        }
    }

    SurfaceHolder.Callback surfaceCallback=new SurfaceHolder.Callback() {
        public void surfaceCreated(SurfaceHolder holder) {
            // no-op -- wait until surfaceChanged()
        }

        public void surfaceChanged(SurfaceHolder holder,
                int format, int width,
                int height) {
            initPreview(width, height);
            startPreview();
        }

        public void surfaceDestroyed(SurfaceHolder holder) {
            // no-op
        }
    };
