Camera force close when returning from sleep. Android

In my app I'm capturing an image. Everything is working fine unless the phone goes to sleep while the preview is running. Not really sure how to handle it, I'm thinking that it may be best just to prevent the phone from automatically going to sleep while this process is in action. Which i do not know how to do. and if i do that will it prevent the phone from sleeping when i press the power button? perhaps there is a deeper issue here.

Preview surfaceview:

public class Preview extends SurfaceView implements SurfaceHolder.Callback {
    private static final String TAG = "Preview";

      SurfaceHolder mHolder;  // <2>
      public Camera camera; // <3>

      Preview(Context context) {
        super(context);

        // Install a SurfaceHolder.Callback so we get notified when the
        // underlying surface is created and destroyed.
        mHolder = getHolder();  // <4>
        mHolder.addCallback(this);  // <5>
        mHolder.setType(SurfaceHolder.SURFACE_TYPE_PUSH_BUFFERS); // <6>
      }

      // Called once the holder is ready
      public void surfaceCreated(SurfaceHolder holder) {  // <7>
        // The Surface has been created, acquire the camera and tell it where
        // to draw.
        camera = Camera.open(); // <8>
        try {
          camera.setPreviewDisplay(holder);  // <9>

          camera.setPreviewCallback(new PreviewCallback() { // <10>
            // Called for each frame previewed
            public void onPreviewFrame(byte[] data, Camera camera) {  // <11>
              Log.d(TAG, "onPreviewFrame called at: " + System.currentTimeMillis());
              Preview.this.invalidate();  // <12>
            }
          });
        } catch (IOException e) { // <13>
          e.printStackTrace();
        }
      }

      // Called when the holder is destroyed
      public void surfaceDestroyed(SurfaceHolder holder) {  // <14>
        camera.stopPreview();
        camera.release();
        camera = null;
      }

      // Called when holder has changed
      public void surfaceChanged(SurfaceHolder holder, int format, int w, int h) { // <15>
        camera.startPreview();
      }


    }

I've added a wake lock to prevent the phone from dimming, I feel this is a temporary solution though as there is still a force close when the device is forced to sleep via power button.

Why are you calling invalidate() for every preview frame? The camera display should update without it.

Either remove the preview callback altogether (since you don't seem to be doing anything else anyway), or try setting camera.setPreviewCallback(null) in onResume() before you release so that it doesn't try to call it after you have freed the cameras resources. You are getting an exception because you are trying to access the camera somewhere after you have released it.
