You might try something like this to get a video using the VIDEO_CAPTURE
intent.
File will have .3gp extension and mimetype "video/3gpp"
private static final int SHOOT_PHOTO =2;
AssetFileDescriptor photoFile;
InputStream photoStream;
...
Intent i = new Intent("android.media.action.VIDEO_CAPTURE");
startActivityForResult(i, SHOOT_VIDEO);
...
protected void onActivityResult (int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent
data){
if (requestCode==SHOOT_VIDEO){
if (resultCode == RESULT_OK) {
try {
photoFile =
getContentResolver().openAssetFileDescriptor(data.getData(), "r");
photoStream =photoFile.createInputStream();
// do something with the video stream
} catch (FileNotFoundException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
Toast.makeText(getBaseContext(), "Could not find Video
file",
Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
} catch (IOException e) {
// TODO Auto-generated catch block
e.printStackTrace();
Toast.makeText(getBaseContext(), "Could not read Video
file",
Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
}
}
if (resultCode == RESULT_CANCELED) {
}
}
