MediaRecorder failed when i stop the recording

Question

I have this error. Can somebody please help me, I think it's something about touch listener... The error is happening when I release my finger.

And that is happening when I try to run this code:

from touch listener:

/// Preview is SurfaceView in my view
preview.setOnTouchListener(new View.OnTouchListener() {

        @Override
        public boolean onTouch(View v, MotionEvent event) {
            switch (event.getAction()) {
            case MotionEvent.ACTION_DOWN:

                prepareRecording();
                break;
            case MotionEvent.ACTION_MOVE:
            //Log.d(TAG, String.format("ACTION_MOVE | x:%s y:%s", 
                break;
            case MotionEvent.ACTION_UP:
                stopRecording();
                break;
            }
            return true;
        }
    });

And these two methods:

private void prepareRecording() {
    try {
        camera.unlock();

        recorder = new MediaRecorder();
        recorder.setCamera(camera);
        recorder.setAudioSource(MediaRecorder.AudioSource.MIC);
        recorder.setVideoSource(MediaRecorder.VideoSource.CAMERA);
        recorder.setOutputFormat(MediaRecorder.OutputFormat.MPEG_4);

        File tempFile = new File(Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory(), "/rec/temp/video_" + String.valueOf(videoCount) + ".mp4");

        recorder.setOutputFile(tempFile.getPath());
        recorder.setVideoFrameRate(25);
        recorder.setAudioEncoder(MediaRecorder.AudioEncoder.DEFAULT);
        recorder.setVideoEncoder(MediaRecorder.VideoEncoder.DEFAULT);
        recorder.setPreviewDisplay(holder.getSurface());

        recorder.prepare();
        recorder.start();
    }  catch (IllegalStateException e) {
        Log.e("REDORDING :: ",e.getMessage());
        e.printStackTrace();
    } catch (IOException e) {
        Log.e("REDORDING :: ",e.getMessage());
        e.printStackTrace();
    }
}

private void stopRecording() {
    recorder.stop();
    camera.lock();
}

Look at the documentation:

Note that a RuntimeException is intentionally thrown to the application, if no valid audio/video data has been received when stop() is called. This happens if stop() is called immediately after start(). The failure lets the application take action accordingly to clean up the output file (delete the output file, for instance), since the output file is not properly constructed when this happens.

In other words: Dalvik throws the exception on purpose. You have to handle it to clean up after your app. You'd have to handle it like this:

private void stopRecording() {
    try {
        recorder.stop();
    } catch(RuntimeException stopException) {
        // handle cleanup here
    }
    camera.lock();
}

is there any other way to doing this? – bhavesh kaila Jan 07 '16 at 07:34
in my case it's not immediate start/stop, or mediaprojection with mediarecorder just doesn't work ?? https://stackoverflow.com/a/34986043/4548520 I can't understand why this issue happens when I stop screen recording – user25 Jul 29 '17 at 20:12
Thank you for this. Android should give listeners like onRecordStarted onRecordStopped. More reasons to hate Android. – Bugs Happen Feb 18 '20 at 10:41

I had a similar error -1007 when I was recording audio with AMR_WB, but it turned out that the problem was that I forgot to set sampling rate.

mediaRecorder.setAudioSamplingRate(16000);
