How can I set camera preview size to squared aspect ratio in a squared SurfaceView (like Instagram)?

As said before you need to find the correct preview size (the one with aspect ratio 1:1) and probably you have to use FrameLayout for the SurfacePreview. It seems that you have and aspect ratio problem maybe you have the right preview size but you are placing it in an incorrect layout.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
