I'm trying to write a simple video recorder and sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't. So I stripped it all out and started again, but this time almost the same code my HTC Desire HD and a Samsung Galaxy phone both throw some weird errors. Heres the code
public class VideoRecord extends Activity implements SurfaceHolder.Callback {
// Camera objects
private SurfaceView surfaceView;
private SurfaceHolder surfaceHolder;
private Camera camera;
private boolean previewRunning;
// Objects for recording
private MediaRecorder mediaRecorder;
// App state
private boolean recordingInMotion;
// Video files
private File folder;
// Message queue
private Handler handler;
// Android preferences
private SharedPreferences prefs;
private Resources res;
private TextView statusIndicator;
private Button btnRecord;
private boolean recording = false;
/** Called when the activity is first created. */
@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
res = getResources();
requestWindowFeature(Window.FEATURE_NO_TITLE);
getWindow().addFlags(WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_FULLSCREEN);
getWindow().clearFlags(WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_FORCE_NOT_FULLSCREEN);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_videorecord);
surfaceView = (SurfaceView) findViewById(R.id.surface_camera);
surfaceHolder = surfaceView.getHolder();
surfaceHolder.addCallback(this);
surfaceHolder.setType(SurfaceHolder.SURFACE_TYPE_PUSH_BUFFERS);
handler = new Handler();
prefs = PreferenceManager.getDefaultSharedPreferences(getBaseContext());
getElements();
setRecordButton();
}
private void getElements() {
btnRecord = (Button) findViewById(R.id.button_record);
}
private void setRecordButton() {
btnRecord.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
@Override
public void onClick(View v) {
if (recording == false) {
startRecording();
} else {
stopRecording();
}
}
});
}
@Override
public void onResume() {
super.onResume();
}
@Override
public void onPause() {
super.onDestroy();
if (mediaRecorder != null) {
if (recordingInMotion) {
stopRecording();
}
mediaRecorder.release();
}
}
public void surfaceChanged(SurfaceHolder holder, int format, int width, int height) {
// Check camera isnt null for some reason
if (camera == null) {
return;
}
if (previewRunning) {
camera.stopPreview();
}
// Set parameters
Camera.Parameters p = camera.getParameters();
p.setPreviewSize(320, 240);
p.setFocusMode(Camera.Parameters.FOCUS_MODE_AUTO);
try {
camera.setParameters(p);
} catch (RuntimeException e) {

}
try {

} catch (IOException e) {

}

} catch (RuntimeException e) {

}
if (camera != null) {

camera.setParameters(params);
} else {
Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), "Camera not available!", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
finish();
}
}
public void surfaceDestroyed(SurfaceHolder holder) {
previewRunning = false;
if (camera != null) {
camera.stopPreview();
camera.release();
} else {
Log.e(TAG, "surfaceDestroyed: camera is null!");
}
}
public boolean startRecording() {
if (camera == null) {
Log.e(TAG, "startRecording: camera is null!");
return false;
}
try {
camera.unlock();
} catch (RuntimeException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
camera = null;
Log.e(TAG, "startRecording: unlock failed!");
return false;
}
mediaRecorder = new MediaRecorder();
mediaRecorder.setCamera(camera);
mediaRecorder.setAudioSource(MediaRecorder.AudioSource.MIC);

mediaRecorder.setOutputFile("/sdcard/temp.mp4");
CamcorderProfile mProfile = CamcorderProfile.get(CamcorderProfile.QUALITY_HIGH);
mediaRecorder.setProfile(mProfile);
mediaRecorder.setVideoSize(mProfile.videoFrameWidth, mProfile.videoFrameHeight);

mediaRecorder.start();
return true;

return false;

return false;
}
}
public void stopRecording() {
mediaRecorder.stop();
camera.lock();

}
}
When I hit record it works for slight second and then crashes. Well doesn't crash. Basically the screen pauses and does no preview any more and chucks this out.
