I copied a code from here https://developer.xamarin.com/recipes/android/media/video/record_video/, an instruction on making videostream and I am trying to change some part of it.
I already tried to change the output orientation to 90 using SetOrientationHint(90)
But since this code do not use the Camera class and just a MediaRecorder class. How can I rotate the display preview because it is giving me a +90degrees and landscape preview?
I already tried the rotation in xml and code but the preview became a total black.
This is the code
[Activity(Label = "App2", MainLauncher = true, Icon = "#drawable/icon")]
public class MainActivity : Activity, ISurfaceHolderCallback
{
string path = Android.OS.Environment.ExternalStorageDirectory.AbsolutePath + "/test.mp4";
MediaRecorder recorder;
protected override void OnCreate(Bundle bundle)
{
base.OnCreate(bundle);
//Set our view from the "main" layout resource
SetContentView(Resource.Layout.Main);
var record = FindViewById<Button>(Resource.Id.Record);
var stop = FindViewById<Button>(Resource.Id.Stop);
var play = FindViewById<Button>(Resource.Id.Play);
var video = FindViewById<VideoView>(Resource.Id.SampleVideoView);
//video.Rotation = 90;
record.Click += delegate
{
if (recorder == null)
recorder = startRecording(video);
else
Toast.MakeText(this, "Now recording", 0).Show();
};
stop.Click += delegate
{
if (recorder != null)
{
stopRecording(recorder);
recorder = null;
}
else
Toast.MakeText(this, "No video recording", 0).Show();
};
play.Click += delegate
{
if (path != null)
playVideo(video);
else
Toast.MakeText(this, "No video available", 0).Show();
};
//recorder = startRecording(video);
}
protected override void OnDestroy()
{
base.OnDestroy();
if (recorder != null)
{
recorder.Release();
recorder.Dispose();
recorder = null;
}
}
private void playVideo(VideoView video)
{
var uri = Android.Net.Uri.Parse(path);
video.SetVideoURI(uri);
video.Start();
}
private static void stopRecording(MediaRecorder recorder)
{
if (recorder != null)
{

}
}

But since this code do not use the Camera class and just a MediaRecorder class. How can I rotate the display preview because it is giving me a +90degrees and landscape preview?
You need to associate Camera with MediaRecorder after setting the rotation degree:
get an Camera Instacnce through GetCameraInstace:
public static Camera GetCameraInstance()
{
Camera c = null;
try
{
c = Camera.Open();
}
catch (Exception e)
{
}
return c;
}
In MainActivity.cs record button click event, associate the camera with MediaRecorder and set the orientation before mCamera.Unlock:
Camera mCamera
...
recorder = new MediaRecorder();
mCamera = ClassName.GetCameraInstance(); //ClassName if in different class.
//else just GetCameraInstance();
mCamera.SetDisplayOrientation(90);
mCamera.Unlock();
recorder.SetCamera(mCamera);
recorder.SetVideoSource(VideoSource.Camera);

I want to make an app that record video, it seems like vine, hold to record, release it stop, hold to record and keep that to the end.

You can do achieve this functionality by setting OnLongClickListener() and OnTouchListener() on your record button. Like this:
recordBtn.setOnLongClickListener(recordBtnLCListener);
recordBtn.setOnTouchListener(recordBtnTouchListener);
then :
#Override
public boolean onLongClick(View v) {
ivCancel.setVisibility(View.GONE);
ivDone.setVisibility(View.GONE);
isActionDown = true;
try {
if (isActionDown) {
initRecorder();
if (isActionDown)
prepareRecorder();
}
if (isPrepared && isActionDown) {
mMediaRecorder.start();
isRecording = true;
}
} catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
Log.e("onLongPress Error ", e.toString());
}
return true;
}
and :
#Override
public boolean onTouch(View v, MotionEvent event) {
switch (event.getAction()) {
case MotionEvent.ACTION_UP:
isActionDown = false;
try {
if (isRecording) {
if (mMediaRecorder != null) {
mMediaRecorder.stop();
}
isRecording = false;
}
} catch (IllegalStateException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
} catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
break;
}
return false;
}
So, in this way you can record the parts of video.Means each time you LongPress your record button, the recording starts. And time you release the button, the recording stops and here you have to save this part of video in any temporary folder.
Once you done taking all parts of videos as many as you want, then you have to combine all that parts of videos to make a single video.
Here, is the code to merge all that video parts saved in temperory folder:
public void mergeVideos() {
try {
List<Movie> inMovies = new ArrayList<>();
for (int i = 0; i < videosPathList.size(); i++) {
String filePath = videosPathList.get(i);
try {
Movie movie = MovieCreator.build(filePath);
if (movie != null)
inMovies.add(movie);
} catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
List<Track> videoTracks = new LinkedList<Track>();
List<Track> audioTracks = new LinkedList<Track>();
for (Movie m : inMovies) {
for (Track t : m.getTracks()) {
try {
if (t.getHandler().equals("soun")) {
audioTracks.add(t);
}
if (t.getHandler().equals("vide")) {
videoTracks.add(t);
}
} catch (Exception e) {
}
}
}
Movie result = new Movie();
if (audioTracks.size() > 0) {
result.addTrack(new AppendTrack(audioTracks
.toArray(new Track[audioTracks.size()])));
}
if (videoTracks.size() > 0) {
result.addTrack(new AppendTrack(videoTracks
.toArray(new Track[videoTracks.size()])));
}
BasicContainer out = (BasicContainer) new DefaultMp4Builder().build(result);
File f = null;
String finalVideoPath;
try {
f = setUpVideoFile(Environment
.getExternalStorageDirectory()+"/MyApp/videos/");
finalVideoPath = f.getAbsolutePath();
} catch (IOException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
f = null;
finalVideoPath = null;
}
WritableByteChannel fc = new RandomAccessFile(finalVideoPath, "rw").getChannel();
out.writeContainer(fc);
fc.close();
deleteFilesDir(); //In this method you have to delete all parts of video stored in temporary folder.
} catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
progressDialog.dismiss();
finish();
}
}
File setUpVideoFile(String directory) throws IOException {
File videoFile = null;
if (Environment.MEDIA_MOUNTED.equals(Environment
.getExternalStorageState())) {
File storageDir = new File(directory);
if (storageDir != null) {
if (!storageDir.mkdirs()) {
if (!storageDir.exists()) {
Log.d("CameraSample", "failed to create directory");
return null;
}
}
}
videoFile = File.createTempFile("video_"
+ System.currentTimeMillis() + "_",
.mp4, storageDir);
}
return videoFile;
}
You can call mergeVideos() method after stopping mediaRecorder.
Hope this code helps you. :)
For merging the videos you have to use the isoparser library. So you have to add following dependendy in your gradle file :
compile 'com.googlecode.mp4parser:isoparser:1.0.5.4'
This is my code.

I am developing an application in which i need to move from capture mode to recording mode(video) and vice versa.
Please help me for this I am cluless here,
please suggest me if any tutorial available for this.
Any kind of help appreciated.
Thank you.
Create a Boolean variable Boolean video = false; Now depending on the switch state, toggle the value of the variable. Then whenever you want to start recording / take a picture just check the value of the video variable.
static final int REQUEST_IMAGE_CAPTURE = 1;
static final int REQUEST_VIDEO_CAPTURE = 2;
if(video) {
Intent takeVideoIntent = new Intent(MediaStore.ACTION_VIDEO_CAPTURE);
if (takeVideoIntent.resolveActivity(getPackageManager()) != null) {
startActivityForResult(takeVideoIntent, REQUEST_VIDEO_CAPTURE);
}
} else {
Intent takePictureIntent = new Intent(MediaStore.ACTION_IMAGE_CAPTURE);
if (takePictureIntent.resolveActivity(getPackageManager()) != null) {
startActivityForResult(takePictureIntent, REQUEST_IMAGE_CAPTURE);
}
}
Use this method to open the camera in video mode
private void dispatchTakeVideoIntent() {
Intent takeVideoIntent = new Intent(MediaStore.ACTION_VIDEO_CAPTURE);
if (takeVideoIntent.resolveActivity(getPackageManager()) != null) {
startActivityForResult(takeVideoIntent, 1);
}
}
please go through this url for further video basics

public class CaptureVideo extends Activity implements OnClickListener, SurfaceHolder.Callback{

In my code i have camera preview and video recording on button click so my code works well for recording and preview.
but when i press back button then surfaceview create and surface view change method get called after that surfaceview destroy method called so i have to press back button again and at this time it directly call surface destroy ( second time surface create and surface change is not called)
Here is my code any body can help me?

Based on debugging/discussion on chat:
the first time back is being hit, the existing Camera activity gets destroyed and another one is created. Used the following to follow the changes in the back stack:
adb shell dumpsys activity | grep -i run
No new task is required, so this is useless:
i.addFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK);
Apparently, using i.addFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_CLEAR_TOP) helps!
I'm not sure why exactly this is helping though. (Especially, because IIUC, with *CLEAR_TOP, the existing instance of the activity on the stack would be used (with onNewIntent), but here (based on the output from dumpsys, a new activity gets created :|). But it works on archos.

Hi, I'm trying to record a video on android right now, when I run my code (the whole code above), the camera can't be initialized. I guess I have an error in the following part.
private boolean initCamera() {
try {
camera = Camera.open();
Camera.Parameters camParams = camera.getParameters();
camera.lock();
holder = videoView.getHolder();
holder.addCallback(this);
holder.setType(SurfaceHolder.SURFACE_TYPE_PUSH_BUFFERS);
}
catch(RuntimeException re) {
Log.v(TAG, "Could not initialize the Camera");
re.printStackTrace();
return false;
}
return true;
}
holder.setType(SurfaceHolder.SURFACE_TYPE_PUSH_BUFFERS); this line in this code gets multiple markers, saying
The method setType(int) from the type SurfaceHolder is deprecated
The field SURFACE_TYPE_PUSH_BUFFERS is deprecated
Does anyone know the reason why I'm getting this?
Try this code
first
setRecorder() ;
SurfaceView videoShootSurfaceView = (SurfaceView) findViewById(R.id.shootVideosurfaceView_VSD);
SurfaceHolder videoSurfaceHolder = videoShootSurfaceView.getHolder();
videoSurfaceHolder.addCallback(this);
videoSurfaceHolder.setType(SurfaceHolder.SURFACE_TYPE_PUSH_BUFFERS);
set the recorder type
public void setRecorder() {
recorder = new MediaRecorder();
recorder.setAudioSource(MediaRecorder.AudioSource.MIC);
recorder.setVideoSource(MediaRecorder.VideoSource.CAMERA);
recorder.setOutputFormat(MediaRecorder.OutputFormat.MPEG_4);
recorder.setAudioEncoder(MediaRecorder.AudioEncoder.AMR_NB);
recorder.setVideoEncoder(MediaRecorder.VideoEncoder.MPEG_4_SP);
// recorder.setVideoSize(640, 480);
recorder.setVideoSize(320, 240);
// recorder.setVideoSize(480, 320);
// recorder.setVideoSize(176, 144);
recorder.setVideoFrameRate(15);
// recorder.setMaxDuration(3600000);
recorder.setMaxDuration(300000);
recorder.setOutputFile("/sdcard/videocapture_example.mp4");
}
