Android :: Android - Video Capturing On Device Or Emulator
Nov 22, 2010Is it possible to capture what's going on in an android screen as video, either on the device itself or the emulator?

Is it possible to capture what's going on in an android screen as video, either on the device itself or the emulator?
I'm not a software developer, but I have done enough reading online to get the Android SDK, Eclipse, and the necessary downloads to get it all working.
I am able to capture device screenshots using the DDMS, but I need to capture full motion video of the system OS and apps for an Android TV commercial.
So far I've called the manufacturer and several software guys, but haven't had any luck. I've even tried the HDMI out, but it's not pixel accurate, which is very important.
There has to be a way to do this, since the apps are featured in other commercials and videos, and I don't believe that the only way to do it is to film the device's screen.
No matter how complex the answer and solution to this might be, I'd love to find out. Even if it means bringing on someone to execute it.
It needs to be at least a 20-30 fps capture.
Can anyone describe the logical sequence of implementing video recording facility? I've followed the steps as outlined from the diagram here: http://developer.android.com/reference/android/media/Media Recorder.html; and ended up with an out-of-memory exception.

View 6 Replies View RelatedThis is the first phone I've owned with video capture available (LG Rumor, Instinct, Pre) and I notice there are a variety of settings available when it comes to video. One video I had recorded earlier today seemed more choppy with the exact same settings than another I took yesterday, the only difference I could really note was there was much more light in today's video. So is there a secret to beautiful video every time?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI am doing a sample application for transfering realtime video from one android device to an emulator, in device side i can open video cam and a set an output file for it, while the recording is progressing, at the same time i am open a file stream and reading all the content by bytes with respect to avilablity, and writing a socket which is communication with the emulator. At the emulator side i am writing this to another file. When i click the recording stop button, i read the rest of the file from the device side and writing to socket stream. When i check the file size at the both side it is same But i cannot play the file at the emulator is side when i check with vlc, in the device side i can play recorded 3gp file So my doubt, same file i cannot access at the same time when one thread(android camera) is writing to the file or it will correupt?

I have created my database using sqliteman browser b/c I have to insert a bulk data before the app starts. I have four tables in my db and call each in different activities and created all on the sqliteman. after the data is inserted I pull back the db onto the data folder of the emulator. it works perfect on the emulator but failed on the device. when I try to pull my db on the real device, it shows access denied problem

My husband has an Instict and sent me a 20 second video of our daughter and when I tried to open it, I got a photo that said "Video too large to view on this device". The video is not that large so I'm not sure what's up.Is there anyone else that is having this problem? Does anyone know how to fix it? We send videos of our kids all the time and I hate to think that I can't do that with a "state of the art" phone.

View 4 Replies View RelatedI just used this getDeviceId() to retrieve the unique id of the phone, but in the emulator it gives 00000000 when I try to display it. I know it makes sense to do that but can I spoof a device id for testing purposes. I need to setup about 4 -5 android devices in my emulator to check the functionality of the app that I have written, and the entire app revolves around the unique id of the mobile device. I just feel, maybe it should be there in the DDMS but I am not able to figure it out.

View 4 Replies View RelatedIs there a way to check if our code is running in the emulator vs a real device? I'm using a Map View which requires a signing key. I'm using the signature of the eclipse debug key when running on the emulator, but this won't work when I build a release version. I think I need to have a check to see if I'm running on a real device, and set it to the real release key at that time.

I ran into some issue while trying to invoke the driver from a user level app.I just added these two lines and created an app.
vibrator = (Vibrator) getSystemService(Context.VIBRATOR_SERVICE); vibrator.vibrate(10000);

I am working on an application where i will track the movement of the android device inside a building... suppose i display a map of the building in the android emulator... Now,i need to simulate the movement of the android device.... is there a way in which i can control the movement of the android device and see the real time movement of the device in the map ... like a dot moving in the map .... Is this possible to do using the android emulator? when i googled this requirement, i came across SensorSimulator...But,this software shows the acceleration,magnetic field and temperature values... It doesnt display the co-ordinate values....

Is there a way to test rotating the device in the emulator? I just want to see what happens, I don't have a device to test this. Will the behavior be the same for 1.5 as it was in 1.0?

Did anyone encounter this problem? Particularly, I have a dialog style themes for a few activities and these come up as expected on the emulator, but are full screen on the device. The theme I a using is actually an extension of the basic dialog theme (Theme.Dialog). I did not check with the original one.
