Android: Video Recording Throws Error

Question

So I'm trying to use the built in camera activity to record a video using the below code:

    Intent videoIntent = new Intent(MediaStore.ACTION_VIDEO_CAPTURE);
    videoIntent.putExtra(MediaStore.EXTRA_OUTPUT, fileURI);
    videoIntent.putExtra(MediaStore.EXTRA_DURATION_LIMIT, 60);
    startActivityForResult(videoIntent, VIDEO_ACTIVITY);

During debugging, fileURI has a value of: file:///mnt/sdcard/Spootur/Videos/c14e0eb2-0737-4931-9898-e85d10bab74e.mp4, and videoIntent has an mExtras value of:

Bundle[{output=file:///mnt/sdcard/Spootur/Videos/c14e0eb2-0737-4931-9898-e85d10bab74e.mp4, android.intent.extra.durationLimit=60}]

When I start recording, it goes fine, but when I reclick the record button to stop recording, the camera app throws this:

05-11 01:08:11.325: E/AndroidRuntime(3748):     at com.sec.android.app.camera.CamcorderEngine.renameTempFile(CamcorderEngine.java:1352)

05-11 01:08:11.325: E/AndroidRuntime(3748):     at com.sec.android.app.camera.CeRequestQueue$MainHandler.handleMessage(CeRequestQueue.java:60)

Any ideas of what could be causing this and how to fix it? Thanks!

Also: I can confirm that the recorded video file is at that URI.

Did you try by removing this line videoIntent.putExtra(MediaStore.EXTRA_OUTPUT, fileURI); after that it shows exception? — user370305, May 11 '12 at 05:14
Yes, and then it works fine. I don't see what the problem with my URI is. — K. Barresi, May 11 '12 at 05:16

Actually, I found in some case MediaStore.EXTRA_OUTPUT doesn't work properly, SO the other trick way is, store your captured video file in onActivityResult()

protected void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent intent) {
  super.onActivityResult(requestCode, resultCode, intent);

  if (resultCode == RESULT_OK) 
   {   
    try {
         AssetFileDescriptor videoAsset = getContentResolver().openAssetFileDescriptor(intent.getData(), "r");
         FileInputStream fis = videoAsset.createInputStream();
         File videoFile = new File(Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory(),"<VideoFileName>.mp4"); 
         FileOutputStream fos = new FileOutputStream(videoFile);

         byte[] buffer = new byte[1024];
         int length;
         while ((length = fis.read(buffer)) > 0) {
               fos.write(buffer, 0, length);
          }       
         fis.close();
         fos.close();
       } catch (IOException e) {
          // TODO: handle error
         }
    }
 }

Try the above code and let me know about your success.

That works great! Thanks so much, I never would have thought of that! — K. Barresi, May 11 '12 at 05:54
Thanks for this! Holy cow, how broken can the Android platform be? — Mike Fahy, Oct 26 '12 at 21:58
