Thanks. That gets pretty close. I'm having trouble getting it to match what my phone is using. For the directory expression, I'm currently using this: Environment.getExternalStoragePublicDirectory(Environment.DIRECTORY_DCIM) However, on my phone, the actual place where it stores pictures from the stock camera is in a "Camera" subdirectory. This expression doesn't include that. I could hardcode that, but doesn't feel right. I tried some variations of this, but I never found an expression that returns "Camera" as the base directory name. > > Regards > > On Sunday, December 20, 2015 at 4:58:02 AM UTC+11, David Karr wrote: >> >> Because I can't bring up the stock camera app with just a video >> record/stop button (I'm using a remote bluetooth button to start/stop >> recording), I've written a custom app that just displays the camera preview >> and a video record/stop button. >> >> Despite the fact that this is a custom app, as much as possible I'd like >> to store the videos as if they were taken with the stock app. This at >> least means storing them in the same place, with a consistent naming and >> metadata scheme.
