What is Media Recorder?

  • MediaRecorder class can be used to record audio and video files.
  • After recording the media, we can create a sound file that can be played later.
  • The recording control is based on a simple state machine.
  • The Android multimedia framework includes support for capturing and encoding a variety of common audio and video formats.
  • You can use the MediaRecorder APIs if supported by the device hardware.
