"start failed:
I'm trying to create a video recorder on Android, and I've prepared my code which is supposed to be working - but I constantly get an error message start failed: -19 .
Here's my code:
public boolean startRecording() {
try {
camera.unlock();
mediaRecorder = new MediaRecorder();
mediaRecorder.setOnErrorListener(new MediaRecorder.OnErrorListener() {
@Override
public void onError(MediaRecorder mr, int what, int extra) {
Log.i(TAG, "Error");
}
});
mediaRecorder.setCamera(camera);
mediaRecorder.setAudioSource(MediaRecorder.AudioSource.MIC);
mediaRecorder.setVideoSource(MediaRecorder.VideoSource.CAMERA);
Log.i(TAG, "a");
mediaRecorder.setOutputFormat(MediaRecorder.OutputFormat.THREE_GPP);
mediaRecorder.setAudioEncoder(MediaRecorder.AudioEncoder.DEFAULT);
mediaRecorder.setVideoEncoder(MediaRecorder.VideoEncoder.H263);
Log.i(TAG, "b");
mediaRecorder.setMaxDuration(maxDurationInMs); // set to 20000
String uniqueOutFile = OUTPUT_FILE + System.currentTimeMillis() + ".3gp";
File outFile = new File(uniqueOutFile);
if (outFile.exists()) {
outFile.delete();
}
mediaRecorder.setOutputFile(uniqueOutFile);
mediaRecorder.setVideoFrameRate(videoFramesPerSecond); // set to 20
mediaRecorder.setVideoSize(sView.getWidth(), sView.getHeight());
Log.i(TAG, "c");
mediaRecorder.setPreviewDisplay(holder.getSurface());
mediaRecorder.setMaxFileSize(maxFileSizeInBytes); // set to 50000
mediaRecorder.prepare();
Log.i(TAG, "d");
mediaRecorder.start();
Log.i(TAG, "e");
return true;
} catch (IllegalStateException e) {
Log.i(TAG, "f");
Log.e(TAG, e.getMessage());
e.printStackTrace();
camera.lock();
return false;
} catch (IOException e) {
Log.i(TAG, "g");
Log.e(TAG, e.getMessage());
e.printStackTrace();
camera.lock();
return false;
} catch (RuntimeException e) {
Log.i(TAG, "h");
Log.e(TAG, e.getMessage());
camera.lock();
return false;
}
}
All the debug logs (from "a" through "d") are printed in log, so it seems that all the steps upto mediaRecorder.prepare() are properly done. Then it catches a RuntimeException with message start failed: -19 . There is a similar question, but that doesn't solve my problem.
Is there any other reason to get such an error?
Just found out the bug, in this line:
mediaRecorder.setVideoSize(sView.getWidth(), sView.getHeight());
after commenting out this line, the code runs perfectly!
I solved my problem once i added this for video recording
/**
* Start video recording by cleaning the old camera preview
*/
private void startVideoRecorder() {
// THIS IS NEEDED BECAUSE THE GLASS CURRENTLY THROWS AN ERROR OF
// "MediaRecorder start failed: -19"
// THIS WONT BE NEEDED INCASE OF PHONE AND TABLET
// This causes crash in glass kitkat version so remove it
// try {
// mCamera.setPreviewDisplay(null);
// } catch (java.io.IOException ioe) {
// Log.d(TAG,
// "IOException nullifying preview display: "
// + ioe.getMessage());
// }
// mCamera.stopPreview();
// mCamera.unlock();
recorder = new MediaRecorder();
// Let's initRecorder so we can record again
initRecorder();
}
/**
* Initialize video recorder to record video
*/
private void initRecorder() {
try {
File dir = new File(folderPath);
if (!dir.exists()) {
dir.mkdirs();
}
mCamera.stopPreview();
mCamera.unlock();
videofile = new File(dir, fileName + ".mp4");
recorder.setCamera(mCamera);
// Step 2: Set sources
recorder.setAudioSource(MediaRecorder.AudioSource.CAMCORDER);
recorder.setVideoSource(MediaRecorder.VideoSource.CAMERA);
// Step 3: Set a CamcorderProfile (requires API Level 8 or higher)
recorder.setProfile(CamcorderProfile
.get(CamcorderProfile.QUALITY_HIGH));
// Step 4: Set output file
recorder.setOutputFile(videofile.getAbsolutePath());
// Step 5: Set the preview output
recorder.setPreviewDisplay(mPreview.getHolder().getSurface());
// Step 6: Prepare configured MediaRecorder
recorder.setMaxDuration(video_duration * 1000);
recorder.setOnInfoListener(new OnInfoListener() {
@Override
public void onInfo(MediaRecorder mr, int what, int extra) {
if (what == MediaRecorder.MEDIA_RECORDER_INFO_MAX_DURATION_REACHED) {
mCamera.stopPreview();
releaseMediaRecorder();
/*

* path array to make the scanner aware of the location
* and the files you want to see
*/MediaScannerConnection.scanFile(
CuxtomCamActivity.this,
new String[] { videofile.getPath() }, null,
null);
Intent intent = new Intent();
intent.putExtra(CuxtomIntent.FILE_PATH,
videofile.getPath());
intent.putExtra(CuxtomIntent.FILE_TYPE, FILE_TYPE.VIDEO);
setResult(RESULT_OK, intent);
finish();
}
}
});
recorder.prepare();
recorder.start();
} catch (Exception e) {
Log.e("Error Stating CuXtom Camera", e.getMessage());
}
}
private void releaseMediaRecorder() {
if (recorder != null) {
recorder.reset(); // clear recorder configuration
recorder.release(); // release the recorder object
recorder = null;
}
}
For detailed guide refer to this Open Source Cuxtom Cam
the problem is in your setVideoSize() code .
and why this code error ...
From the research I have done, error code -19 comes about when there is a problem with the size of the video as set by MediaRecorder#setVideoSize()
run this code , and see whitch screen that your camera in your device can support :
final List<Camera.Size> mSupportedVideoSizes = getSupportedVideoSizes(mCamera);
for (Camera.Size str : mSupportedVideoSizes)
Log.e(TAG, "mSupportedVideoSizes "+str.width + ":" + str.height + " ... "
+ ((float) str.width / str.height));
and method is :
public List<Size> getSupportedVideoSizes(Camera camera) {
if (camera.getParameters().getSupportedVideoSizes() != null) {
return camera.getParameters().getSupportedVideoSizes();
} else {
// Video sizes may be null, which indicates that all the supported
// preview sizes are supported for video recording.
return camera.getParameters().getSupportedPreviewSizes();
}
}
