I want to capture video from my activity

This is my source code

mTempVideoPath = Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory().getName() + File.separatorChar + "Android/data/" + this.getPackageName() + "/files/" + System.currentTimeMillis() + ".mp4";

File videoFile = new File(mTempVideoPath);
                            try {
                                if(videoFile.exists() == false) {
                                    videoFile.getParentFile().mkdirs();
                                    videoFile.createNewFile();
                                }

                            } catch (IOException e) {
                                Log.e(getCallingPackage(), "Could not create file.", e);
                            }
                            mCurrentVideoURI = Uri.fromFile(videoFile);

                            Intent intent = new Intent(MediaStore.ACTION_VIDEO_CAPTURE );
                            intent.putExtra( MediaStore.EXTRA_OUTPUT, mCurrentVideoURI);
                            // preventing it from listing items that aren't on the SD card
                            intent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_LOCAL_ONLY, true);
                            intent.putExtra(MediaStore.EXTRA_VIDEO_QUALITY, 1);
                            startActivityForResult(intent, CAPTURE_VIDEO);

But i get this error:

    I found out the great solution here : VerifiyAndSetParameter error when trying to record video

    The MediaStore.EXTRA_OUTPUT DOES NOT work correctly and has issues.
