Android camera preview callback and mediarecorder record video

I want to create an application,that has to record video (using media recorder) and recorded video need to format(using camera).

I created sample code shown below, but tha开发者_如何学JAVAt have an error show when the startrecording button press from menu.which shows force close error .but previewcallback have no error. My code shown below

  package buffer.video;
    import android.app.Activity;
    import android.os.Bundle;
    import java.io.IOException;  
    import android.app.Activity;
    import android.hardware.Camera;

    public class VofoVideoToBufferActivity extends Activity implements SurfaceHolder.Callback,
    Camera.AutoFocusCallback {

    private SurfaceView preview;
    private SurfaceHolder previewHolder;

    private MediaRecorder mRecorder;
    private Camera mCamera;
    private boolean mPreviewRunning = false;
    private boolean mCaptureFrame = false;


    public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    Log.e("", "Begin onCreate");
    setContentView(R.layout.main);

    preview = (SurfaceView) findViewById(R.id.surfaceView1);
    previewHolder = preview.getHolder();
    previewHolder.addCallback(this);
    previewHolder.setType(SurfaceHolder.SURFACE_TYPE_PUSH_BUFFERS);


    }

    } catch (IllegalStateException e) {
        e.printStackTrace();
    } catch (IOException e) {
        e.printStackTrace();

Please help me

---

Either mCamera or mRecorder is null in your method onSurfaceDestroyed. Check for null and do the operation on these objects only if it is not null.

---

Remove following line:

mRecorder.setVideoSize(176, 144);

---

You should call mRecorder.setPreviewDisplay(previewHolder.getSurface()); after the surface is created. public void surfaceCreated(SurfaceHolder holder) { Log.e("", "Begin surfaceDestroy"); mCamera = Camera.open(); mRecorder.setPreviewDisplay(previewHolder.getSurface()); }

---

Solution a: You can change method startrecording() to:

    private void startrecording(){

    mCamera = getCameraInstance();
    mMediaRecorder = new MediaRecorder();

    // Step 1: Unlock and set camera to MediaRecorder
    mCamera.unlock();
    mMediaRecorder.setCamera(mCamera);

    // Step 2: Set sources
    mMediaRecorder.setAudioSource(MediaRecorder.AudioSource.CAMCORDER);
    mMediaRecorder.setVideoSource(MediaRecorder.VideoSource.CAMERA);

    // Step 3: Set a CamcorderProfile (requires API Level 8 or higher)
    mMediaRecorder.setProfile(CamcorderProfile.get(CamcorderProfile.QUALITY_HIGH));

    // Step 4: Set output file
    mMediaRecorder.setOutputFile(getOutputMediaFile(MEDIA_TYPE_VIDEO).toString());

    // Step 5: Set the preview output
    mMediaRecorder.setPreviewDisplay(mPreview.getHolder().getSurface());

    // Step 6: Prepare configured MediaRecorder
    try {
        mMediaRecorder.prepare();
    } catch (IllegalStateException e) {
        Log.d(TAG, "IllegalStateException preparing MediaRecorder: " + e.getMessage());
        releaseMediaRecorder();
        return false;
    } catch (IOException e) {
        Log.d(TAG, "IOException preparing MediaRecorder: " + e.getMessage());
        releaseMediaRecorder();

    }
    mMediaRecorder.start();
}
