I use the camera intent to capture video. Here is the problem: If I use this line of code, I can record video. But onActivityResult doesn't work.

    Intent intent = new Intent("android.media.action.VIDEO_CAMERA");

If I use this line of code, after press the recording button, the camera is freezed, I mean, the picture is still.

    Intent intent = new Intent(MediaStore.ACTION_VIDEO_CAPTURE);

BTW, when I use $Intent intent = new Intent(MediaStore.ACTION_IMAGE_CAPTURE); to capture a picture, it works fine.

The java file is as follows:

    package com.camera.picture;
    import java.io.File;
    import java.text.SimpleDateFormat;
    import java.util.Date;

    import android.app.Activity;
    import android.content.ContentValues;
    import android.content.Intent;
    import android.net.Uri;
    import android.os.Bundle;
    import android.os.Environment;
    import android.provider.MediaStore;
    import android.util.Log;
    import android.view.View;
    import android.widget.Button;
    import android.widget.ImageView;
    import android.widget.Toast;
    import android.widget.VideoView;
    public class PictureCameraActivity extends Activity {
         private static final int IMAGE_CAPTURE = 0;
         private static final int VIDEO_CAPTURE = 1;
         private Button startBtn;
         private Button videoBtn;
         private Uri imageUri;
         private Uri videoUri;
         private ImageView imageView;
         private VideoView videoView;
