Android MediaRecorder Sample
===================================

This sample uses the camera/camcorder as the A/V source for the MediaRecorder API.
A TextureView is used as the camera preview which limits the code to API 14+. This
can be easily replaced with a SurfaceView to run on older devices.

Introduction
------------

This sample shows how to use the [MediaRecorder][1] API.
It uses the [Camera][2] as input source and displays a preview on a [TextureView][3]
The sample features a button to capture the input and stop capturing afterwards.

The sample also shows how to save the captured audio and video to persistant storage
and basic error handling.
