How to stop MediaRecorder after certain time in Android?

Question

I want to stop recording a video after a certain time e.g. 5 seconds.
Do you know how to do that with a MediaRecorder?

Answer 1

You can use a handler to step the recording after that time.

Handler handler = new Handler();
handler.postDelayed(new Runnable() {
    @Override
    public void run() {
        recorder.stop();
    }
}, DELAY);

Regarding the timer:

int t = 0;
handler.postDelayed(new Runnable() {
    @Override
    public void run() {
        textView.setText(getString(R.string.formatted_time, t));
        if(++t<10) {
            handler.postDelayed(this, 1000);
        }
    }
}, 1000);

Where formatted_time is something like that:

<string android:name="formatted_time">%d seconds</string>

Answer 2

mCountdowntimer=new CountDownTimer(countdownPeriod, 1000) {//countdown Period =5000

            public void onTick(long millisUntilFinished) {
                textView.setText("seconds remaining: " + millisUntilFinished / 1000);
            }

            public void onFinish() {

                 mediaplayer.stop(); }

        }.start();

and must not forget to call release(); after calling stop();
