El ejemplo anterior funcionará si está utilizando la cámara trasera. Si está utilizando la cámara frontal, tendrá que ajustar algunas cosas:
En primer lugar, deberá agregar un nuevo permiso en el manifiesto.
<uses-feature android:name="android.hardware.camera.front" android:required="false" />
En su initRecordermétodo, en lugar de
CamcorderProfile cpHigh = CamcorderProfile
.get(CamcorderProfile.QUALITY_HIGH);
recorder.setProfile(cpHigh);
Necesitas usar:
CamcorderProfile profile = CamcorderProfile.get(Camera.CameraInfo.CAMERA_FACING_FRONT, CamcorderProfile.QUALITY_LOW);
recorder.setProfile(profile);
porque CamcorderProfile.QUALITY_HIGHestá reservado para la cámara trasera.
También tendrá que establecer el tamaño del video para el grabador de medios tal como está en su vista de superficie.
Aquí está el ejemplo completo de grabación de video desde la cámara frontal con una pequeña pantalla de vista previa:
Android.manifest
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.RECORD_AUDIO" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.CAMERA" />
<uses-feature android:name="android.hardware.camera" android:required="false" />
<uses-feature android:name="android.hardware.camera.front" android:required="false" />
