I’m trying to use the default camera app to handle recording\/taking pictures using intents but can’t seem to get the default code to work properly. http:\/\/developer.android.com\/guide\/topics\/media\/camera.html<\/p>\n
This code works on Ice Cream sandwich but on Gingerbread (2.3) When trying to record video the image\/preview is frozen and when I attempt to retake video it crashes.<\/p>\n
From the stacktrace it seems like it does support the video format but it explicitly supports it in the documentation…<\/p>\n
Any help or thoughts would be greatly appreciated. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n
My code:<\/p>\n
public class CameraInterface {\n public static final int MEDIA_TYPE_IMAGE = 1;\n public static final int MEDIA_TYPE_VIDEO = 2;\n\n public static final int CAPTURE_IMAGE_ACTIVITY_REQUEST_CODE = 100;\n public static final int CAPTURE_VIDEO_ACTIVITY_REQUEST_CODE = 200;\n\n private static Uri fileUri;\n\n public static void takePicture(Activity activity){\n \/\/ create Intent to take a picture and return control to the calling application\n Intent intent = new Intent(MediaStore.ACTION_IMAGE_CAPTURE);\n\n fileUri = getOutputMediaFileUri(MEDIA_TYPE_IMAGE); \/\/ create a file to save the image\n intent.putExtra(MediaStore.EXTRA_OUTPUT, fileUri); \/\/ set the image file name\n\n \/\/ start the image capture Intent\n activity.startActivityForResult(intent, CAPTURE_IMAGE_ACTIVITY_REQUEST_CODE);\n }\n\n\n public static void takeVideo(Activity activity){\n \/\/create new Intent\n Intent intent = new Intent(MediaStore.ACTION_VIDEO_CAPTURE);\n\n fileUri = getOutputMediaFileUri(MEDIA_TYPE_VIDEO); \/\/ create a file to save the video\n intent.putExtra(MediaStore.EXTRA_OUTPUT, fileUri); \/\/ set the image file name\n\n intent.putExtra(MediaStore.EXTRA_VIDEO_QUALITY, 1); \/\/ set the video image quality to high\n\n \/\/ start the Video Capture Intent\n activity.startActivityForResult(intent, CAPTURE_VIDEO_ACTIVITY_REQUEST_CODE);\n }\n\n\n \/** Create a file Uri for saving an image or video *\/\n private static Uri getOutputMediaFileUri(int type){\n return Uri.fromFile(getOutputMediaFile(type));\n }\n\n \/** Create a File for saving an image or video *\/\n private static File getOutputMediaFile(int type){\n \/\/ To be safe, you should check that the SDCard is mounted\n \/\/ using Environment.getExternalStorageState() before doing this.\n\n File mediaStorageDir = new File(Environment.getExternalStoragePublicDirectory(\n Environment.DIRECTORY_PICTURES), \"MyCameraApp\");\n \/\/ This location works best if you want the created images to be shared\n \/\/ between applications and persist after your app has been uninstalled.\n\n \/\/ Create the storage directory if it does not exist\n if (! mediaStorageDir.exists()){\n if (! mediaStorageDir.mkdirs()){\n Log.d(\"MyCameraApp\", \"failed to create directory\");\n return null;\n }\n }\n\n \/\/ Create a media file name\n String timeStamp = new SimpleDateFormat(\"yyyyMMdd_HHmmss\").format(new Date());\n File mediaFile;\n if (type == MEDIA_TYPE_IMAGE){\n mediaFile = new File(mediaStorageDir.getPath() + File.separator +\n \"IMG_\"+ timeStamp + \".jpg\");\n } else if(type == MEDIA_TYPE_VIDEO) {\n mediaFile = new File(mediaStorageDir.getPath() + File.separator +\n \"VID_\"+ timeStamp + \".mp4\");\n } else {\n return null;\n }\n\n return mediaFile;\n }\n}\n<\/code><\/pre>\nStack trace:<\/p>\n
