I managed to find a good video app sample at https://github.com/googlesamples/android-Camera2Video . I forked this to make some simple utilitarian changes. The result is functional, but not pretty at all. For what I'm using it for, pretty isn't important.
My fork of this is at https://github.com/davidmichaelkarr/android-Camera2Video/tree/refinements . I would paste some of the code from that here, but it might be more effective to just have you look at the code there. What was surprising is that when I stop the video recording, it correctly saves the video, but when I look in the filesystem, I see both the real video and a zero-length video file. The timestamp on the zero-length file is a few seconds later than the real video file. I guess I understand why this is happening, but I'm not certain of the best way to resolve this. The way the app is structured, the File to write the video to is set up when preview is initiated. The file isn't written to unless I start recording video. As a result, the file on disk is actually created when I start preview mode, even if I don't record a video that time that I started the app. One possible strategy for cleaning up that zero-length file is somehow removing the file in "onPause" (or some variation of that). Basically, to remove the file when I "stop using the app". It might be cleaner to set up the file only when I start recording, but I'm not sure how to properly structure that to make that happen. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
