Camera2Video black preview depending on video resolution

[buntupana]

I'm having this problem with Huawei phones (P40, P40 pro, Mate 30 Pro). If I choose 1280x720 or 640x480 it will show a black preview and it will throw this exception:

I found that the problem is in the creation of recorderSurface, when it execute createRecorder and it set setVideoSize with the chosen resolutions it will throw the exception and shows a black preview. If I set setVideoSize with 1920x1080 resolution in the creation of recourderSurface and the chosen resolution in recorder it will be just fine but I don't know if it will crash in other devices different than huawei brand...I've tried in a xiaomi mi 9 se and it works fine.

update: this workaround is not working with no huawei phones...and when you record a video with a huawei phone with a lower resolution than 1080p the result video will be cropped
