Set up the Intent to do video capture and then call StartActivityForResult.
The example has a hard-coded 2 as the identifier.
Intent i = new Intent("android.media.action.VIDEO_CAPTURE");
startActivityForResult(i, 2);
Add an onActivityResult Method
protected void onActivityResult (int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent
data){
...
if (requestCode==2){ // Our request for video capture
if (resultCode == RESULT_OK) { // a good results
try {
AssetFileDescriptor videoAsset =
getContentResolver().openAssetFileDescriptor(data.getData(), "r");
//... do something with the AssetFileDescriptor
// to read the file, create an inputStream
FileInputStream fileInputStream
=videoAsset.createInputStream();
} catch (FileNotFoundException e) {
Toast.makeText(getBaseContext(), "Could not find
Video file",
Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
}
}
}
