+/*
+ * The purpose of ICameraRecordingProxy and ICameraRecordingProxyListener is to
+ * allow applications using the camera during recording.
+ *
+ * Camera service allows only one client at a time. Since camcorder application
+ * needs to own the camera to do things like zoom, the media recorder cannot
+ * access the camera directly during recording. So ICameraRecordingProxy is a
+ * proxy of ICamera, which allows the media recorder to start/stop the recording
+ * and release recording frames. ICameraRecordingProxyListener is an interface
+ * that allows the recorder to receive video frames during recording.
+ *
+ * ICameraRecordingProxy
+ * startRecording()
+ * stopRecording()
+ * releaseRecordingFrame()
+ *
+ * ICameraRecordingProxyListener
+ * dataCallbackTimestamp()
+
+ * The camcorder app opens the camera and starts the preview. The app passes
+ * ICamera and ICameraRecordingProxy to the media recorder by
+ * MediaRecorder::setCamera(). The recorder uses ICamera to setup the camera in
+ * MediaRecorder::start(). After setup, the recorder disconnects from camera
+ * service. The recorder calls ICameraRecordingProxy::startRecording() and
+ * passes a ICameraRecordingProxyListener to the app. The app connects back to
+ * camera service and starts the recording. The app owns the camera and can do
+ * things like zoom. The media recorder receives the video frames from the
+ * listener and releases them by ICameraRecordingProxy::releaseRecordingFrame.
+ * The recorder calls ICameraRecordingProxy::stopRecording() to stop the
+ * recording.
+ *
+ * The call sequences are as follows:
+ * 1. The app: Camera.unlock().
+ * 2. The app: MediaRecorder.setCamera().
+ * 3. Start recording
+ * (1) The app: MediaRecorder.start().
+ * (2) The recorder: ICamera.unlock() and ICamera.disconnect().
+ * (3) The recorder: ICameraRecordingProxy.startRecording().
+ * (4) The app: ICamera.reconnect().
+ * (5) The app: ICamera.startRecording().
+ * 4. During recording
+ * (1) The recorder: receive frames from ICameraRecordingProxyListener.dataCallbackTimestamp()
+ * (2) The recorder: release frames by ICameraRecordingProxy.releaseRecordingFrame().
+ * 5. Stop recording
+ * (1) The app: MediaRecorder.stop()
+ * (2) The recorder: ICameraRecordingProxy.stopRecording().
+ * (3) The app: ICamera.stopRecording().
