I am trying to create a background video recorder in android. For this, I have created a Service class to implement the video recording. When I press button to start recording, it starts successfully but when I stop it, I get the following exception:

I am now getting camera preview. MediaRecorder is creating file in directory, but somehow I am still getting IllegalStateException on onStop().
Can anyone please help?????
