How can I record a Video in my Android App.?

Question

How can I capture a video recording on Android?

Answer 1

As of December 2017, there have been some updates, e.g. the usage of android.hardware.Camera is deprecated now. While the newer android.hardware.camera2 comes with handy things like a CameraManager.

I personally like this example a lot, which makes use of this current API and works like a charm: https://github.com/googlesamples/android-Camera2Video

It also includes asking the user for the required permissions at start and features video preview before starting the video recording.

(In addition, I find the code really beautiful (and this is very rare for me ^^), but that's just my subjective opinion.)
