相机从纵向倾斜到横向时发生RuntimeException

Question

I have a Fragment which uses a CameraPreview like so:

    mCamera = getCameraInstance();
    mPreview = new CameraPreview(getActivity(), mCamera);
    FrameLayout preview = (FrameLayout) rootView.findViewById(R.id.camera_preview);
    preview.addView(mPreview);

This works fine - opens up a camera view as intended. However, when I tilt the camera from portrait to landscape I get a RuntimeException

and it specifically complains about the first line in the else block of this method:

    public void surfaceCreated(SurfaceHolder holder) {
    try {
        if(mCamera != null) {
            mCamera.setDisplayOrientation(90); // WITHOUT THIS MY CAMERA AXIS' ARE FLIPPED
            mCamera.setPreviewDisplay(holder);
            mCamera.startPreview();
        } else {
            mCamera = Camera.open(); // RUNTIME EXCEPTION HERE
            mCamera.startPreview();
        }
    } catch (IOException e) {
        Log.d("TAG", "Error setting camera preview: " + e.getMessage());
    }
}

I included permissions in AndroidManifest

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.CAMERA" />
<uses-feature android:name="android.hardware.camera" />
<uses-feature android:name="android.hardware.camera.autofocus"/>

Does anybody know what could be causing the crash? It seems to work fine on a Galaxy S6 but crashes on my S3. Any help is highly appreciated.

Edit:

I added this in my Activity, now the app crashes before the camera loads.

 @Override
public void onPause() {
    super.onPause();
    mCamera.release();
}

@Override
public void onResume() {
    super.onResume();
    mCamera.open();
}

Have you tried to call release() when you are being destroyed?

From: http://developer.android.com/reference/android/hardware/Camera.html

Important: Call release() to release the camera for use by other applications. Applications should release the camera immediately in onPause() (and re-open() it in onResume()).
