i want to record a video (with audio) from this app but as soon as i press start recording it gives "E/MediaRecorder: start failed: -19"
i referred to this link ---> http://stackoverflow.com/questions/10496969/android-mediarecorder-start-failed-19 and according to them i set the supported videoSize but again i failed and i have set the method calls according to the state diagram given on ---> "**developer.android.com/reference/android/media/MediaRecorder.html**" website and i have set audio and video parameters as given on ---> "**developer.android.com/guide/appendix/media-formats.html**" website but nothing seems to work :( i am testing this on my **phone Mi Redmi 2 running MIUI** this is how UI looks like ---> [Cam UI][1] [1]: http://i.stack.imgur.com/z7hW2.jpg this is my code below:- public class AndroidCamera extends Activity implements SurfaceHolder.Callback { TextView testView; Camera camera; SurfaceView surfaceView; SurfaceHolder surfaceHolder; MediaRecorder mRecorder; private boolean mCaptureFrame = false; private boolean recording = false; File audiofile = null; private final String tag = "VideoServer"; Button start, stop, startrec, stoprec; /** * Called when the activity is first created. */ @Override public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) { super.onCreate(savedInstanceState); setContentView(R.layout.main); start = (Button) findViewById(R.id.startcamerapreview); start.setOnClickListener(new Button.OnClickListener() { public void onClick(View arg0) { start_camera(); } }); stop = (Button) findViewById(R.id.stopcamerapreview); stop.setOnClickListener(new Button.OnClickListener() { public void onClick(View arg0) { stop_camera(); } }); startrec = (Button) findViewById(R.id.startrecording); startrec.setOnClickListener(new Button.OnClickListener() { public void onClick(View arg0) { startRecording(); } }); stoprec = (Button) findViewById(R.id.stoprecording); stoprec.setOnClickListener(new Button.OnClickListener() { public void onClick(View arg0) { stopRecording(); } }); surfaceView = (SurfaceView) findViewById(R.id.surfaceview); surfaceHolder = surfaceView.getHolder(); surfaceHolder.addCallback(this); surfaceHolder.setType(SurfaceHolder.SURFACE_TYPE_PUSH_BUFFERS); } private void start_camera() { try { camera = Camera.open(); setCameraDisplayOrientation(this, Camera.CameraInfo.CAMERA_FACING_BACK, camera); } catch (RuntimeException e) { Log.e(tag, "init_camera: " + e); return; } try { camera.setPreviewDisplay(surfaceHolder); Camera.Parameters parameters = camera.getParameters(); parameters.setPreviewSize(1280, 720); surfaceView.requestLayout(); if (parameters.getSupportedFocusModes().contains( Camera.Parameters.FOCUS_MODE_CONTINUOUS_VIDEO)) { parameters.setFocusMode(Camera.Parameters.FOCUS_MODE_CONTINUOUS_VIDEO); } parameters.setFocusMode(Camera.Parameters.FOCUS_MODE_AUTO); camera.setParameters(parameters); camera.startPreview(); camera.autoFocus(null); } catch (Exception e) { Log.e(tag, "init_camera: " + e); return; } } private void stop_camera() { camera.stopPreview(); camera.release(); } public void surfaceChanged(SurfaceHolder arg0, int arg1, int arg2, int arg3) { // TODO Auto-generated method stub } public void surfaceCreated(SurfaceHolder holder) { // TODO Auto-generated method stub } public void surfaceDestroyed(SurfaceHolder holder) { // TODO Auto-generated method stub } public static void setCameraDisplayOrientation(Activity activity, int cameraId, android.hardware.Camera camera) { android.hardware.Camera.CameraInfo info = new android.hardware.Camera.CameraInfo(); android.hardware.Camera.getCameraInfo(cameraId, info); int rotation = activity.getWindowManager().getDefaultDisplay().getRotation(); int degrees = 0; switch (rotation) { case Surface.ROTATION_0: degrees = 0; break; case Surface.ROTATION_90: degrees = 90; break; case Surface.ROTATION_180: degrees = 180; break; case Surface.ROTATION_270: degrees = 270; break; } int result; if (info.facing == Camera.CameraInfo.CAMERA_FACING_FRONT) { result = (info.orientation + degrees) % 360; result = (360 - result) % 360; // compensate the mirror } else { // back-facing result = (info.orientation - degrees + 360) % 360; } camera.setDisplayOrientation(result); } public void startRecording() { Log.e("", "Begin StartRecording"); Toast.makeText(this, "Recording....", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show(); mCaptureFrame = true; if (mRecorder != null) { mRecorder.stop(); mRecorder.release(); } mRecorder = new MediaRecorder(); mRecorder.setVideoSource(MediaRecorder.VideoSource.CAMERA); mRecorder.setAudioSource(MediaRecorder.AudioSource.MIC); mRecorder.setAudioChannels(1); mRecorder.setAudioSamplingRate(24); mRecorder.setOutputFormat(MediaRecorder.OutputFormat.MPEG_4); mRecorder.setVideoEncoder(MediaRecorder.VideoEncoder.H264); mRecorder.setAudioEncoder(MediaRecorder.AudioEncoder.AAC); mRecorder.setVideoEncodingBitRate(56); mRecorder.setAudioEncodingBitRate(24); final List<Camera.Size> mSupportedVideoSizes = getSupportedVideoSizes(camera); for (Camera.Size str : mSupportedVideoSizes) Log.e(tag, "mSupportedVideoSizes "+str.width + ":" + str.height + " ...
