I am following this link of Android developers to record a video. I am able to record but in some default video resolution. How can I go about setting to specific video resolution for recording the video?
In this case, you need a customized video encoder instead of native video encoder (the outcome of which can only be a pre-defined resolution and can not be customized). Suggest you get ffmpeg in Android build, can do the encoding with ffmpeg, which can resize the video to any resolution you want. Also ffmpeg comes in with great arm/neon optimization, so performance-wise should be OK.

I want to use a video player eg. using ExoPlayer in android app which will support switching of resolution like we see in YouTube.
My API have video files for 480p,720p,1080p.
I want to give those options in the player and can switch it from the player itself and will play the respective files from URL.
I have seen solutions like track selector etc,but does that work for online files? I have links like :
www.example.com/videos/480/demo.mp4
www.example.com/videos/720/demo.mp4
www.example.com/videos/1080/demo.mp4
Please suggest if there is any other solutions like API change or any other protocols etc.
Why you don't convert your mp4 file to hls or mpd streaming format with ffmpeg so you can stream it chunk by chunk and the player will select the best resolution based on his algorithm?
Have a look at this project, this allows user to select resolution manually via track selection from hls stream encoded by ffmpeg.

Hello I am recording audio using MediaRecorder and save it in MP4 format. and upload to the server. as well record video as MP4 using camera and upload to server.
So while I am receive my uploaded item from server as uploaded url list. and I am playing all it in VideoView. video and audio play good. now here is the thing while I am playing video it's display video frame on video view but while playing audio it's black. basically audio and video file extension are MP4 so I can't make different while adding it in to VideoView other wise I'll add imageview and display some default image and hide VideoView.
so is there any way to record audio with cover image so while I am playing it in Video view so it display that cover image...
I know that using ffmpeg we can do this but I got lots of error while compiling it in my windows pc. so is there any way to add cover image while record audio with pure android api? sorry for bad english.
I google everything but I can't find any solution for convert audio file to video file with using image. So I have to go with FFMPEG.
So I add WritingMinds java FFMPEG in my project using gradle dependency. Then convert MP4 audio with cover image into the MP4 video.
There are some limitation in this precompile library. like it not work in android 24 and some commands like -speed, cpu-used, -deadline which are most important for all the operation(But still we can perform other operation). there are some disadvantage also like slow speed, and some features which required for specific operation are not include in the compile library. (So I gave advice to compile your own ffmpeg library for android project in linux or mac pc(windowns have lots of issues)).
I hope this will help someone who's this type of scenario :)
Is there a way to record square (640x640) videos and concat them in Android? I looked up in the Internet and found some solutions. The solution seems to be "ffmpeg". However, to use ffmpeg I need to dive into NDK and build ffmpeg from its sources. Is there a solution by only using the Android SDK?
My basic needs are:
Record multiple videos (square format)
Resize captured videos (i.e. 480x480 to 640x640)
Concat captured videos
Rotate final video (clockwise 90)
Final output will be in mp4 or mpg format
Is there a solution by only using the Android SDK?
Not really.
Your primary video recording option is MediaRecorder, and it supports exactly nothing of what you list. For example, there is no requirement for any Android device to support taking square videos.
You are also welcome to use the camera preview stuff to assemble your own videos from individual frames. Vine does this, AFAIK. There, you could perhaps use existing Bitmap facilities to handle the cropping, resizing, and rotating. However, this will be slow, and doing this work in a way that can keep up with a reasonable frame rate will be difficult. Also, I do not know if there is a library that can stitch those frames together into a video, or blend in any sort of audio (camera previews are pure images).
I am developing Android application which use media player to view Live stream url. Application showing video correct. I need to know that, can we set stream bit rates programmatically? Please check screen shot which showing 1500 kbps at top left side of video and I need to set it 350 kbps.
You cannot set the bitrate using a VideoView. If you want to control the bitrate you will need to decode the audio and video manually using something like FFmpeg. You can then use AudioTrack and OpenGL to play the audio and render the video at the desired bitrate.
I have done it using parsing m3u8 file and get bandwidth of that video.
I am working on application that does some real time image processing on camera frames. For that, I use preview callback's method onPreviewFrame. This works fine for cameras that support preview frames that have resolution at least 640x480 or larger. But when camera does not support such large camera preview resolution, application is programmed to refuse processing such frames. Now, the problem I have is with phones like Sony Xperia Go. It is a very nice device that can record video up to resolution 1280x720, but unfortunately maximum camera preview size is 480x320, which is too small for my needs.
What I would like to know is how to obtain these larger camera frames (up to 1280x720 or more)? Obviously it has to be possible because camera application has the ability to record videos in that resolution - therefore this application somehow must be able to access those larger frames. How to do the same from my application?
Application has to support Android 2.1 and later, but I would be very happy even if I find the solution for my problem only for Android 4.0 or newer.
This question is similar to http://stackoverflow.com/questions/8839109/processing-android-video-frame-by-frame-while-recording, but I don't need to save the video - I only need those high resolution video frames...
It seems the only thing you can do is decoding frames from MediaRecoder data.
You may use ffmpeg to decode recoreder data from LocalSocket.
Hope the following open source projects may help:
ipcamera-for-android: https://code.google.com/p/ipcamera-for-android/
spydroid-ipcamera: https://code.google.com/p/spydroid-ipcamera/
You should probably take a look at the OpenCV library.
It has methods that allow you to receive full frames.
I have an impression: video preview size is small, and is slow, slower than the set video recording frame rate.
I was once trying to look for solutions on this. It seems a better way is to get the video stream from the video recorder, then directly process the data from the video stream.
You could find some examples on Android ip-camera.
You can use this library:
https://github.com/natario1/CameraView
This library has addFrameProcessor listener that in process function has Frame parameter.
If you need to record video while frame processing, you need to use from takeVideoSnapshot function of CameraView. takeVideo stop frame processing until complete video recording in latest version I tested 2.6.4.
