hello,
Do you know how to make an application which can take a video record of the screen (or just the main acitivity of my application) and saves it to a video file in the device? I try to use mediarecoder but I don't know what refer to the screen ...
thank you

If you are running KitKat, there is the new screen recording built into the OS, accessible through the command
Code:
adb shell screenrecord
or through the android device manager in eclipse.
Otherwise, don't expect good results because if not built into Android, it's kinda hard to record on a high frame rate without slowing everything down
thank you

Do you know if in Kikat there are an API to take screenrecord directly by an application and store the video in a file?
My application isn't fast, so can you tell mee how Can I recorcord on a low frame rate (without android 4.4)?
Thank you

There are some root tolls to do it without Kitkat like this one: http://lifehacker.com/scr-screen-recorder-for-android-captures-high-quality-s-995276159
I'd recommend using the adb method though. If your app isn't fast, improve it.

I did not mean that my application is slow, but it does not need to be fast So do you know any tricks to screencast directly in my application without android 4.4 and without being root?

There seems to be an app in the play store that can do it: Screencast.
I haven't used it so can't say if it works well, let me know how it does!
Edit: Fail you need root... Better read before everything else xD
Edit2: Found a nice article that could help you here.

I can vouch for screencast - we used it for promo videos a while ago and it does a good job (needs root though)
Thank you but I need to be not root... I think it's is possible to take screen capture (image), so is it possible to add a lot of images (of screen capture) in a video directly by an application?
Thank you

Wait... you want to create an app that offers that kind of functionality to other apps or do you want to capture the main content of your application???
If you want to make an app for this functionality, without root I don't see an option to do that. For your own app, you can try to constantly call getDrawingChache() on your view on top of your view hierarchy and then write that bitmap to a file... But I dougt that will give good results, as it is not working on a surfaceView for instance.

Its fast its nice but how can I do following:
Install programs only on sd card for saving internal memory?
stop the sound of fotocam by shooting a foto?
enable led on recording videos?
thx
To Put the Apps on the SD Card you must Root your Nexus.
To stop the sound of the Camera you can disable the sound in your settings by pressing menu.
Enable the LED during recording may require root as well. I think thats the only way, possibly with Nexus Torch. Not sure though.

To stop the shutter noise just place your phone on silent or vibrate
ok to set on vibrate is a way but i would like to unenable it...
two more issues, how can i use adove flash f.e. i would like to view the desktop youtube site version but it wont work... is there a way like its shown in some presetation videos?
is there any software out for sharing the connection (wlan or 3g) with a windwos computer, my nexus one would became a wlanstick?
I've heard Camera FX on the market has the ability to turn off the sound. Not sure, but someone mentioned that.
Dolphin browser will allow you to set yourself as a "desktop" which should make all website's show up as they normally would on a computer, but I don't know if youtube would work like this. It might require flash update that we will get shortly.
Eitherway, your youtube thing will be fixed soon.

You could program your own widget, or find one that suits your needs better in the market. There isn't an easy way to change them otherwise.
Hello guys i have found a cool app
DESCRIPTION:
Record video from the screen of your
device to make app promos or tutorials.
Z-ScreenRecorder PRO needs ROOT
PERMITION to run.
TRY THE FREE VERSION FIRST TO ENSURE
THIS APP WORKS PROPERLY ON YOUR
DEVICE.
Z-ScreenRecorder allows record video
directly from the screen of your device to
the SD.
It Is designed to create promotional videos
of your apps,make tutorials or simply
record clips to use as help.
It's extremely simple to use:
- Execute the app and press "Record"
button.
- Works while it is recording.
-Tap Z-ScreenRecorder desktop icon or
status bar blinking icon to stop.
-Visit the video gallery to play, send or
delete the video.
Your video is recorder at "/sdcard/zausan/
Z-ScreenRecorder/"
only problem i think is that i guess it records video @ 10 fps only..
With CM7 it doesn't work, with CM9 it's sooooo slow!
I can scroll down and up the notification bar three times and the record just shows one action...

Hi, i got a generic android tablet momo8 and the front camera works like a mirror and I need it to work like a laptop does cos im working on a website that reads qr codes and it works fine in laptops but the android tablets wont read it correctly. I was wondering if maybe modifying the camera.apk it could work but i dont know much of java to do so and I need it kinda urgently to present it working to some potential client. If somebody could help ill be more than happy ...if someone know of an app that changes that mirror function it will be even better.
Thanks in avance.

Is it just on your tablet?
If it occurs on all tablets, you will not be able to do that by modifying the camera app as it is different for each device.
If it is a problem just on your tablet, ask in your device specific forum.

Yes its on every tablet with android. There should be a way to disable the mirror effect on the camera.. it cant happen that ipads work fine with it but android didnt think of reading qr with front cameras. There must be an app that changes that behavior of the cam

I'm not quite sure what you're asking, but the android camera app does not read QR (or any other) barcodes. You would have to download an app to do that such as ZXing team's Barcode Scanner.

Ive created a web application that can read qr codes, it works on laptops and the idea is to use it by loading the site from tablets, when it loads the application it works well, it opens the camera with no problem, however the front camera by default works in a mirror effect so the application cant load the qr. This doesnt happen when the tablet has a camera in the back but i need to use the front cam. This is why i need the camera with no mirror effect and working just like a latop does

OpenCV and the methods used there need to have the openCV manager to be installed as a separate app (there are workarounds for this) for the libraries.
Bottom line is, you have to create your own camera app for this, disturbing the idea of a mobile site. There are (more or less) easy ways to implement camera, you are not the first one to bump into this problem.

Guys, i just stumbled upon this cool app, and screenrecord works! It did not work on all the other apps i tried...
This app does not even require root. It utilizes the screenrecorder api which comes with lollipop, and some workaround idk, but it works!
App name is shou.tv
Link to thread:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2476818
All you need to do is download it from playstore(its free). And go to settings and change encoding engine to software.
And if you need to change settings, change it and close the app and remove it from recents and then reopen app and start recording(if yoy change and just record, it doesnt work).
The quality isnt great, buy atleast it works.
Kudos to the developer!
Thanks dude..!:good:

Even better. Now screen recording works with hardware encoding. This means all apps in play store can record natively using hardware.

Hi everyone,
I hope this is the right section for this kind of questions.
Anyway, I'd like to know if someone can help me.
I'm absolutely not able of getting Google Camera to work.
I tried different version, I think the problem is caused by the fact that our phone has a SD801...
But I have no idea how to solve it.
Camera just crash as soon as I open it.
Thanks to everyone!
Lorenzo Benevento.
Not just coz soc is sd801
It is arm based
Google camera is nowadays built for arm64 architecture
And which version would work?
If there is one obviously!

The versions which came with nexus 6 would work
That will be around v3
I tried but I can't downgrade. How come? It shows "corrupted package".
i use Google camera 2.7 in my zuk z1
I downgraded to 2.7.010, It works and connect to camera but I'm unable of taking videos!
It start recording but when I tap on the stop icon it freezes and the only thing that I can do is to reboot the phone. Or close the app (but camera would be busy, so no tourch for example or no other photos until the next reboot).
magnet1215 are you able to take videos?

Try this snapdragon camera. It will crash on first pic taken, first video taken, first slow or fast motion video. But honestly I tried lot of camera apps and this is best one of all.
