Max, I also was trying to crop my preview to show it in a smaller space. But it would cram the whole image into the smaller view I created. I studied some of the android source code, tried and failed at many remedies, and finally settled on a tacky compromise:
1) I created a SurfaceView that fills the whole screen, and do the mCamera.setPreviewDisplay() to its surfaceHolder as you'd expect. 2) I "covered" the SurfaceView with other views set with a background color, leaving a small region to show the camera preview. I am not proud. But it delivers the proper illusion. I have to then "crop" the image in the same place after I take the picture. I would have liked to have a "ViewPort" type of view where I could have just "zoomed in" in the surface view where I wanted. Better yet if I could apply any 2D pipeline stuff from an invisible surfaceView and put the result into a visible surface view or canvas.
