Question

I have implemented a code to save the captured video to a custom location.

// Constants
final static int REQUEST_VIDEO_CAPTURED = 1;
String CAPTURE_TITLE="MyVideo.3gp";

// Specified the desired location here 
File file = new File(Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory() + "/DCIM", CAPTURE_TITLE);
Uri outputFileUri = Uri.fromFile( file ); 



Intent intent = new Intent(android.provider.MediaStore.ACTION_VIDEO_CAPTURE);
intent.putExtra(android.provider.MediaStore.EXTRA_OUTPUT, outputFileUri);
startActivityForResult(intent, REQUEST_VIDEO_CAPTURED);

Now On Activity result I m getting the default path only and not the desired path where i intent to save the video.

@Override
protected void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent data)
{
       if (resultCode == RESULT_OK)
    {
          Uri capturedImageUri = data.getData();
          Toast.makeText(this, capturedImageUri .getPath(), TOAST.LENGTH_LONG).show();     
        }
    }

Now I dont know why it is not saving it to desired location similar thing I did try with Image capture and it worked.

Also I have added the desired permissions.

Any thoughts!!

try this instead…

File file = new File(Environment.getExternalStoragePublicDirectory(Environment.DIRECTORY_DCIM)), CAPTURE_TITLE);
