So, I made sure I'm calling stopPreview followed by release(). And, that's working fine.
But, I also wanted to share with people what other things I had to do in order to integrate the camera surface view into my application. I create an activity that serves as the application's main screen. It allows the user to set some basic parameters/settings. Then the user does something to enable the camera view (e.g. click a button or taps the screen - some event). A new activity with the surfaceview that shows the camera preview starts. It then stops normally. This second activity's sole purpose is to display and hide the camera. I use this second activity as opposed to trying to get the main activity to turn off and on the camera preview on its own surface view. Seems to work much better this way..
