According to Android SDK MediaRecorder.setCamera can be used to recycle the existing camera instance for video capture and preview without resetting the preview. I was not able to find any sample, and all my attempts were futile: I either get the wrong state exception, or MediaRecorder.prepare fails.
- Does anyone know if this method usable at all?
- How can I use it then?
- Any samples available in the Wild Wild Web?
