Android Question Camera2 App crash on video with front camera

[Alexander Stolte]

Hello,

i use this example, because there is the error too.
If you swtich to video mode and then to the front camera, then record a video and stop the video. The Error is on line 134 in the "CamEx2" class.

The following error message:

Logger connected to:  samsung SM-G935F
--------- beginning of main
*** Service (starter) Create ***
** Service (starter) Start **
** Activity (main) Create, isFirst = true **
Start success: true

Works properly here, tested on Android 5X.

See the answer here: https://stackoverflow.com/a/16222037/971547

I guess that it failed to record anything so it raised an error.

You can change the code to:

Public Sub StopVideoRecording (MyTaskIndex As Int)
   CloseSession
   Try
       MediaRecorder.RunMethod("stop", Null)
   Catch
       Log(LastException)
   End Try
   RecordingVideo = False
End Sub

I guess that it failed to record anything so it raised an error.

But only with the front camera hmm. If i use the try, then the video file is broken

Maybe the default CaptureSize is not supported. Check the SupportedVideoSizes list.

I have 1920x1080

Try to set it to a lower resolution.
