[android] MediaRecorder prepare() causes segfault
- by dwilde1
Folks,
I have a situation where my MediaRecorder instance causes a segfault.
I'm working with a HTC Hero, Android 1.5+APIs. I've tried all variations, including 3gpp and H.263 and reducing the video resolution to 320x240. What am I missing? The state machine causes 4 MediaPlayer beeps and then turns on the video camera. Here's the pertinent source:
UPDATE: ADDING SURFACE CREATE INFO I have rebooted the device based on previous answer to similar question.
UPDATE 2: I seem to be following the MediaRecorder state machine perfectly, and if I trap out the MR code, the blank surface displays perfectly and everything else functions perfectly. I can record videos manually and play back via MediaPlayer in my code, so there should be nothing wrong with the underlying code. I've copied sample code on the surface and surfaceHolder code. I've looked at the MR instance in the Debug perspective in Eclipse and see that all (known) variables seem to be instantiated correctly. The setter calls are all now implemented in the exaxct order specced in the state diagram.
// in activity class definition
protected MediaPlayer mPlayer;
protected MediaRecorder mRecorder;
protected boolean inCapture = false;
protected int phaseCapture = 0;
protected int durCapturePhase = INF;
protected SurfaceView surface;
protected SurfaceHolder surfaceHolder;
// in onCreate()
// panelPreview is an empty LinearLayout
surface = new SurfaceView(getApplicationContext());
surfaceHolder = surface.getHolder();
surfaceHolder.setType(SurfaceHolder.SURFACE_TYPE_PUSH_BUFFERS);
panelPreview.addView(surface);
// in timer handler runnable
if (mRecorder == null) mRecorder = new MediaRecorder();
mRecorder.setAudioSource(MediaRecorder.AudioSource.MIC);
mRecorder.setVideoSource(MediaRecorder.VideoSource.CAMERA);
mRecorder.setOutputFormat(MediaRecorder.OutputFormat.THREE_GPP);
mRecorder.setAudioEncoder(MediaRecorder.AudioEncoder.AMR_NB);
mRecorder.setOutputFile(path + "/" + vlip);
mRecorder.setVideoSize(320, 240);
mRecorder.setVideoFrameRate(15);
mRecorder.setPreviewDisplay(surfaceHolder.getSurface());
panelPreview.setVisibility(LinearLayout.VISIBLE);
mRecorder.prepare();
mRecorder.start();
Here is a complete log trace for the process run and crash:
