How to Use

You can use CameraActivity.Builder for setting up the camera. You can set image capturing or video recording, resolution, video recorder's maximum duration, video recorder's frame rate etc with the Builder.

• Video record example:

 // Start video recorder.
 Intent videoIntent = new CameraActivity.Builder(mContext)
    .setActionType(CameraActivity.Type.VIDEO)
    .setSaveFileUri(mPendingMediaUri)
    .setResolution(1080, 1920)
    .setFrontCameraEnabled(true)
    .setFrameRate(30)
    .setMaxVideoDuration(15000)
    .setVideoEncodingBitRate(10000000)
    .build();
startActivityForResult(videoIntent, ACTIVITY_REQUESTCODEVIDEO);

// Handle video recorder response
@Override protected void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent data) {
    switch (requestCode){
	    ...
	    case ACTIVITY_REQUESTCODEVIDEO:
	        if(resultCode == RESULT_OK) {
	            Bundle bundle = data.getExtras();
	            if (bundle != null) {
	                Uri fileUri = bundle.getParcelable(CameraActivity.EXTRA_FILE_URI);
	                ...
	            }
	        }
	        else {
	            Toast.makeText(this, "Canceled", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
	            }
	        break;
	    ...
	    }
}

• Image capture example:

 // Start image capture. 
 Intent videoIntent = new CameraActivity.Builder(mContext)
    .setActionType(CameraActivity.Type.PICTURE)
    .setSaveFileUri(mPendingMediaUri)
    .setResolution(1080, 1920)
    .setFrontCameraEnabled(true)
    .build(); 
startActivityForResult(videoIntent, ACTIVITY_REQUESTCODEPICTURE);  

// Handle image capture response 
@Override protected void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent data) { 
    switch (requestCode){ 
	    ... 
	    case ACTIVITY_REQUESTCODEPICTURE: 
	        if(resultCode == RESULT_OK) { 
	            Bundle bundle = data.getExtras(); 
	            if (bundle != null) { 
	                Uri fileUri = bundle.getParcelable(CameraActivity.EXTRA_FILE_URI); 
	                ... 
	            } 
	        } 
	        else { 
	            Toast.makeText(this, "Canceled", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();  
	            } 
	        break; 
	    ... 
	    } 
}
