Android Smartphone/Tablet (2.3 and above): How can I capture a video and audio of an application? I need to record and save movie of my running application.
I know about DDMS, but it takes only screen shots. But I need video + audio being played in android app
Requirement: Need to make video of application installed in android smartphone/tablet. (i.e. capturing screens and voices appearing in the app), something like screencast
Many Thanks in advance
I use android screencast tools to mirror my android device on my pc.
Android Screencast
Droid # screen
and a screen recording tool to record screens.
e.g. on macbook i use quicktime player's screen recorder.

am new in mobile app development, but have try do develop online radio app using Android Studio, but when the app is playing the sound from Icecast it use to stop when the phone is lock and sleep.
Also i find it difficult to set the accurate width that can march any app, the one that i set only work for Small Android Screen. The code full the width of small android phone with android 4.0 but on large screen android phone i can see some space beside and at the bottom of the screen.

You should use MediaSession since its designed to help you control Media playing and controlling media playback. Check the reference and follow steps for using MediaSession.
Universal Android Music Player
This sample shows how to implement an audio media app that works across multiple form factors and provide a consistent user experience on Android phones, tablets, Android Auto, Android Wear, Android TV and Google Cast devices.
It also work on lock screen.

hope this will help you.
I'm trying to embed an MP4 video in an Android Phonegap 2.9.0 application using the HTML5 video tag.
The application will be used at an exhibition and the video has to be played back offline on the device. The video also can't be played back in the native player as the back button will be locked, which I think rules out the VideoPlayer plugin (http://simonmacdonald.blogspot.ca/2011/11/video-player-plugin-for-phonegap.html).
I have set the hardwareAccelerated attribute to true, which should work on Android 4.x devices (see http://simonmacdonald.blogspot.co.uk/2012/10/partial-support-for-video-tag-in.html). I successfully got a video embedded and played back as desired from a folder on the SD card on a Motorola Xoom tablet (Android 4.0.4).
I then wanted to recreate the same on an Archos 97 Titanium HD tablet (Android 4.1.1), which will be the device used in the exhibition. Using the same code as on the Xoom (just with the folder path adjusted according to the device) the Archos tablet plays only the sound and the video itself stays black, apart from a line of changing pixels in the top left corner. If I switch to fullscreen mode the video plays fine.
Also if I stream the same video from a web server it plays back fine embedded in webview - again using the same code.
So it seems like it can cope with the video format and encoding in webview, but for some reason it does not work from the internal (or external) SD card.
Has anyone come across a similar problem and is there any solution?
Is there a problem version 4.1.1 of Android or is this likely to be an issue with the device itself?
When i run my application on the tablet(android) and hit the pause button it pauses the screen of the video but the video will jump a head how ever many seconds the pause when i un-pause the video. So if i start the video and then click pause and walk away i can come back and un-pause the video and it well jump right to the end.
The code i am using is ns.togglePause(); This same code works on the desktop and works with .flv and .f4v but will not work when i am using a mp4 on the tablet.
Has anyone seen this before or know why it would do something like this?
i am using flashdevelop to debug the application.
I found out that my problem is caused by encoding. This helped me solve my problem.I found this on adobes forms.
Video encoding is very important.
For example, use baseline profile level 3.1 for H264 for mobile
(and not High profile level 4.1 recommended for desktop).
For more information, see the MAX session of Fabio Sonnati:
"Encoding for Performance on Multiple Devices"
And if you have an Android phone/tablet, there is my AIR application
to watch Adobe MAX 2011 videos :

Search "Sonnati" for this session's video.
(For info, i use a video player based on OSMF 1.6)
The pdf presentation is available on Sonmati's blog:

Android has a built in VideoPlayer which would seem to be the goto option, but just wondering if there might be even better open source video players for Android? This is for playing video within a commercial non-rooted android tablet.

How I should go about recording a video screen capture of an OpenGL application?
So far my plan of attack is to take individual screenshots then run it through a video encoder.
Does anyone here know of any sample code I can look at or has any suggestions of things I can look at?
I'm looking for the OpenGL app to capture in game footage and save it as video content.
As of Android 4.4, there is a screen recording feature accessible via adb.
http://developer.android.com/tools/help/adb.html#screenrecord
The screenrecord command is a shell utility for recording the display of devices running Android 4.4 (API level 19) and higher. The utility records screen activity to an MPEG-4 file, which you can then download and use as part of a video presentation. This utility is useful for developers who want to create promotional or training videos without using a separate recording device.
