1 2 Android Camera2Video Sample 3 =================================== 4 5 This sample shows how to record video using the new Camera2 API in Android Lollipop. 6 7 Introduction 8 ------------ 9 10 Android Lollipop introduced a new camera API, called camera2. This sample uses [CameraDevice][1] 11 and [CameraCaptureSession][2] to record video. It also uses a custom [TextureView][3] to render the output. 12 13 The main steps are: 14 15 1. Create a custom TextureView class and add it to the layout. The purpose of the custom TextureView is 16 to be able to draw itself according to an aspect ratio, which is set via a public method. Additionally, 17 the `onMeasure(int widthMeasureSpec, int heightMeasureSpec)` method is overridden, using the aspect ratio. 18 2. Implement a `TextureView.SurfaceTextureListener` on your TextureView, and override its 19 `onSurfaceTextureSizeChanged(SurfaceTexture surfaceTexture, int width, int height)` method to calculate 20 the matrix to apply to the TextureView so the camera output fits. Use the method `setTransform(matrix)` on 21 the TextureView. 22 3. Implement a [`CameraDevice.StateCallback`][4] to receive events about changes of the state of the 23 camera device. Override its methods to set your CameraDevice instance, start the preview, and stop 24 and release the camera. 25 4. When starting the preview, set up the MediaRecorder to accept video format. 26 5. Then, set up a [`CaptureRequest.Builder`][5] using `createCaptureRequest(CameraDevice.TEMPLATE_RECORD)` 27 on your CameraDevice instance. 28 6. Then, implement a [`CameraCaptureSession.StateCallback`][6], using the method 29 `createCaptureSession(surfaces, new CameraCaptureSession.StateCallback(){})` on your CameraDevice instance, 30 where `surfaces` is a list consisting of the surface view of your TextureView and the surface of 31 your MediaRecorder instance. 32 7. Use `start()` and `stop()` methods on your MediaRecorder instance to actually start and stop the recording. 33 8. Lastly, set up and clean up your camera device in `onResume()` and `onPause()`. 34 35 36 [1]: https://developer.android.com/reference/android/hardware/camera2/CameraDevice.html 37 [2]: http://developer.android.com/reference/android/hardware/camera2/CameraCaptureSession.html 38 [3]: http://developer.android.com/reference/android/view/TextureView.html 39 [4]: https://developer.android.com/reference/android/hardware/camera2/CameraDevice.StateCallback.html 40 [5]: http://developer.android.com/reference/android/hardware/camera2/CaptureRequest.Builder.html 41 [6]: http://developer.android.com/reference/android/hardware/camera2/CameraCaptureSession.StateCallback.html 42 43 Pre-requisites 44 -------------- 45 46 - Android SDK 25 47 - Android Build Tools v25.0.3 48 - Android Support Repository 49 50 Screenshots 51 ------------- 52 53 <img src="screenshots/1-launch.png" height="400" alt="Screenshot"/> <img src="screenshots/2-record.png" height="400" alt="Screenshot"/> <img src="screenshots/3-save.png" height="400" alt="Screenshot"/> 54 55 Getting Started 56 --------------- 57 58 This sample uses the Gradle build system.
