Answer 1

You can get a list of available preview sizes by calling getSupportedPreviewSizes in the Camera.Parameters object returned by Camera.getParameters. Check here

Add these below code inside surfaceChanged method

Camera.Parameters parameters = camera.getParameters();  
   List sizes = parameters.getSupportedPreviewSizes();  
   Camera.Size cs = sizes.get(0);  // You need to choose the most appropriate previewSize for your app. So select one from the list
   parameters.setPreviewSize(cs.width, cs.height);  
   camera.setParameters(parameters);
   camera.startPreview();

EDIT Change your surfaceChanged method like below and check

public void surfaceChanged(SurfaceHolder holder, int format, int w, int h) {
        // If your preview can change or rotate, take care of those events here.
        // Make sure to stop the preview before resizing or reformatting it.
        Log.d("Function", "surfaceChanged");
        if (mHolder.getSurface() == null){
          // preview surface does not exist
          return;
        }

        // stop preview before making changes
        try {
            mCamera.stopPreview();
        } catch (Exception e){
          // ignore: tried to stop a non-existent preview
        }

        // set preview size and make any resize, rotate or
        // reformatting changes here


        // start preview with new settings
        try {
            mCamera.setPreviewDisplay(mHolder);
            mCamera.startPreview();

        } catch (Exception e){
            Log.d(TAG, "Error starting camera preview: " + e.getMessage());
        }
    }
