Hi, I’m trying to record a video on android right now, when I run my code (the whole code above), the camera can’t be initialized. I guess I have an error in the following part.
private boolean initCamera() {
try {
camera = Camera.open();
Camera.Parameters camParams = camera.getParameters();
camera.lock();
holder = videoView.getHolder();
holder.addCallback(this);
holder.setType(SurfaceHolder.SURFACE_TYPE_PUSH_BUFFERS);
}
catch(RuntimeException re) {
Log.v(TAG, "Could not initialize the Camera");
re.printStackTrace();
return false;
}
return true;
}
holder.setType(SurfaceHolder.SURFACE_TYPE_PUSH_BUFFERS); this line in this code gets multiple markers, saying
- The method
setType(int)from the type SurfaceHolder is deprecated - The field
SURFACE_TYPE_PUSH_BUFFERSis deprecated
Does anyone know the reason why I’m getting this?
Try this code
first
set the recorder type
override this methhod.
To start the recording
To stop the recording
