I need to record audio and video files to the 3gp/mp4 format in the same file and at the same time. When I run, my application file is created with videofile.3gp but the video does not record to the SD card on the emulator. Does video record on the emulator? If I run this code on an android supported device will I see these errors?

Code and errors below:

The camera API appears to require that many of the sources are set, including the audio, video, and preview surface. The following code is more complete:

recorder = new MediaRecorder(); 
recorder.setPreviewDisplay(previewSurface); 

recorder.setAudioSource(MediaRecorder.AudioSource.DEFAULT); 
recorder.setVideoSource(MediaRecorder.VideoSource.DEFAULT); 

recorder.setOutputFormat(MediaRecorder.OutputFormat.THREE_GPP); 
recorder.setAudioEncoder(MediaRecorder.AudioEncoder.AMR_NB); 
recorder.setVideoEncoder(MediaRecorder.VideoEncoder.MPEG_4_SP); 

recorder.setMaxDuration(1000 * 10); 
recorder.setOnInfoListener(self); 

recorder.setVideoSize(200, 200); 
recorder.setVideoFrameRate(15);

recorder.setOutputFile("/sdcard/test.mp4");

recorder.prepare(); 
recorder.start();

    Also, remember to set your permissions in the manifest to allow sound recording, camera, and external file storage. Plus, here is another StackOverflow question that describes the recording setup (with surface) in more detail. http://stackoverflow.com/questions/3225763/record-video-to-external-sd-card-on-android – ajaxlex Jul 20 '10 at 13:47
  • videoSize should be one of the supportedVideoSizes array. Otherwise the app will crash. – tasomaniac Feb 17 '14 at 09:41
  • I'm doing this in a fragment, would you know how to setup a previewSurface? – Woppi Jan 04 '17 at 11:15

media record requires some H/W feature, such as video encoder(h264, h263)... emulator may not support. just try on your real device
