Alright so I'm a little lost. I can do what you said but I don't quite understand how to extract the file path from it. Do I need to save the file to a location and then use that location or is it recoverable from the AssetFileDescriptor?
Thanks for your help, I really appreciate it. -Brandon On Apr 4, 8:50 pm, Carmen Delessio <[email protected]> wrote: > 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(); > > } > } > } > > -- > Carmenhttp://www.twitter.com/CarmenDelessiohttp://www.talkingandroid.comhttp://www.facebook.com/BFFPhotohttp://www.twitter.com/DroidDrop > > > > On Sun, Apr 4, 2010 at 8:29 PM, bmalicoat <[email protected]> wrote: > > I'm trying to use the built in camera to capture a video but when I > > specify the URI I want the file saved to (using > > videoCaptureIntent.putExtra (MediaStore.EXTRA_OUTPUT, Uri.fromFile > > (fileLocation)); ) the 'Retake' and 'Play' buttons crash my app. I am > > trying to switch and let the Intent store the file where it wants but > > I can't figure out how to recover the URI where it is saved to.
