How to crop image from camera preview (surface view) and save it instead of actual image captured bt camera like instagram app?

Question

I have an activity with surface view (match parent-match parent), half of which is hidden by button. Is it possible to save only visible part of captured picture? I've tried to make the surface view smaller, but preview is either rotated in this case or stretched. I'm using android.hardware.camera1 btw

 <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools" android:id="@+id/activity_camera" android:layout_width="match_parent" android:layout_height="match_parent" tools:context="uz.pages.yangiuz10.activity.CameraActivity"> <SurfaceView android:layout_width="match_parent" android:layout_height="match_parent" android:id="@+id/surface_camera"/> <LinearLayout android:layout_width="match_parent" android:layout_height="match_parent" android:orientation="vertical"> <View android:layout_width="match_parent" android:layout_height="0dp" android:layout_weight="1"/> <RelativeLayout android:layout_width="match_parent" android:layout_height="0dp" android:layout_weight="1" android:background="@color/colorBackgroundText"> <ImageButton android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:id="@+id/button_shot" android:layout_centerHorizontal="true" android:layout_centerVertical="true" android:src="@drawable/shot_btn" android:background="@null" android:onClick="onPictureCapture"/> </RelativeLayout> </LinearLayout> </RelativeLayout>
