How to record and save a video in Android

Let's record a video :). Check the code snippet.

First need to give necessary permissions. So add these permissions to AndroidManifest.xml

  <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE" />
  <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.RECORD_AUDIO" />

MainActivity.java

import java.io.File;

import android.content.Intent;
import android.content.pm.PackageManager;

 private static final String TAG = MainActivity.class.getSimpleName();

 @Override
 protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
  super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
  setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
  btn_record = (Button) findViewById(R.id.buttonrecc);
  btn_record.setOnClickListener(this);
 }
 @Override
 public void onClick(View v) {
  // TODO Auto-generated method stub
  switch (v.getId()) {
  case R.id.buttonrecc:
   reccordVideo();
   break;
  }
 }

  intent.putExtra(MediaStore.EXTRA_VIDEO_QUALITY, 1);
  intent.putExtra(MediaStore.EXTRA_OUTPUT, fileUri);
  // start the video capture Intent
  startActivityForResult(intent, CAMERA_CAPTURE_VIDEO_REQUEST_CODE);
 }

 @Override
 protected void onSaveInstanceState(Bundle outState) {
  super.onSaveInstanceState(outState);
  // save file url in bundle as it will be null as screen orientation
  // changes
  outState.putParcelable("file_uri", fileUri);
 }
 @Override
 protected void onRestoreInstanceState(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
  super.onRestoreInstanceState(savedInstanceState);
  fileUri = savedInstanceState.getParcelable("file_uri");

    // on the string pathofvideo
    String pathofvideo = fileUri.getPath();
    System.out.println("filepath...." + pathofvideo);
    System.out.println("hsdgshdg");
   } else if (resultCode == RESULT_CANCELED) {

   // if user cancel recording
   Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(),"User cancelled video recording", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();

   } else {
   // if any error occurs while recording
   Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), "Sorry! Failed to record video", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
   }
  }
 }

 /**

 public Uri getOutputMediaFileUri(int type) {
