<p>This lesson explains how to capture video using existing camera
applications.</p>
<p>Your application has a job to do, and integrating videos is only a small
part of it. You want to take videos with minimal fuss, and not reinvent the
camcorder. Happily, most Android-powered devices already have a camera application that
records video. In this lesson, you make it do this for you.</p>
<h2 id="TaskManifest">Request Camera Permission</h2>
<p>To advertise that your application depends on having a camera, put a
{@code <uses-feature>} tag in the manifest file:</p>
<pre>
<manifest ... >
<uses-feature android:name="android.hardware.camera" />
...
</manifest ... >
</pre>
<p>If your application uses, but does not require a camera in order to function, add {@code
android:required="false"} to the tag. In doing so, Google Play will allow devices without a
camera to download your application. It's then your responsibility to check for the availability
of the camera at runtime by calling {@link
android.content.pm.PackageManager#hasSystemFeature hasSystemFeature(PackageManager.FEATURE_CAMERA)}.
If a camera is not available, you should then disable your camera features.</p>
<h2 id="TaskCaptureIntent">Record a Video with a Camera App</h2>
<p>The Android way of delegating actions to other applications is to invoke
an {@link android.content.Intent} that describes what you want done. This
involves three pieces: the {@link android.content.Intent} itself, a call to start the external
{@link android.app.Activity}, and some code to handle the video when focus returns
to your activity.</p>
<p>Here's a function that invokes an intent to capture video.</p>
<pre>
private void dispatchTakeVideoIntent() {
Intent takeVideoIntent = new Intent(MediaStore.ACTION_VIDEO_CAPTURE);
startActivityForResult(takeVideoIntent, ACTION_TAKE_VIDEO);
}
</pre>
<p>It's a good idea to make sure an app exists to handle your intent
before invoking it. Here's a function that checks for apps that can handle your intent:</p>
<pre>
public static boolean isIntentAvailable(Context context, String action) {
final PackageManager packageManager = context.getPackageManager();
final Intent intent = new Intent(action);
List<ResolveInfo> list =
packageManager.queryIntentActivities(intent,
PackageManager.MATCH_DEFAULT_ONLY);
return list.size() > 0;
}
</pre>
<h2 id="TaskVideoView">View the Video</h2>
<p>The Android Camera application returns the video in the {@link android.content.Intent} delivered
to {@link android.app.Activity#onActivityResult onActivityResult()} as a {@link
android.net.Uri} pointing to the video location in storage. The following code
retrieves this image and displays it in a {@link android.widget.VideoView}.</p>
<pre>
private void handleCameraVideo(Intent intent) {
mVideoUri = intent.getData();
mVideoView.setVideoURI(mVideoUri);
}
</pre>
