Hi, yup I tried adding the call back (did nothing important in the call back methods though, would like to know what should I do there?) I also set the type of the holder to getHolder().setType(SurfaceHolder.SURFACE_TYPE_PUSH_BUFFERS); still the same problem my last try used the asynchronous version of the API which would return with the error (-4,0) after trying to prepare too. i looked for the meaning of the error codes every where but I couldn't find anything :(
