    <p>I'm writing a camera app and am having an issue with the S3. Whenever I start recording, the display goes to garbage (see screenshots below). Then, when I stop recording I get an exception:</p> <pre><code>10-02 13:36:31.647: E/MediaRecorder(24283): stop failed: -1007 10-02 13:36:31.647: D/AndroidRuntime(24283): Shutting down VM 10-02 13:36:31.647: W/dalvikvm(24283): threadid=1: thread exiting with uncaught exception (group=0x40c49a68) 10-02 13:36:31.647: E/AndroidRuntime(24283): FATAL EXCEPTION: main 10-02 13:36:31.647: E/AndroidRuntime(24283): java.lang.RuntimeException: stop failed. 10-02 13:36:31.647: E/AndroidRuntime(24283): at android.media.MediaRecorder.native_stop(Native Method) 10-02 13:36:31.647: E/AndroidRuntime(24283): at android.media.MediaRecorder.stop(MediaRecorder.java:742) 10-02 13:36:31.647: E/AndroidRuntime(24283): at com.myapp.android.ui.camera.NewCameraActivity.stopRecording(NewCameraActivity.java:178) 10-02 13:36:31.647: E/AndroidRuntime(24283): at com.myapp.android.ui.camera.NewCameraActivity.toggleRecording(NewCameraActivity.java:189) 10-02 13:36:31.647: E/AndroidRuntime(24283): at com.myapp.android.ui.camera.NewCameraActivity.onClick(NewCameraActivity.java:97) 10-02 13:36:31.647: E/AndroidRuntime(24283): at android.view.View.performClick(View.java:3565) 10-02 13:36:31.647: E/AndroidRuntime(24283): at android.view.View$PerformClick.run(View.java:14165) 10-02 13:36:31.647: E/AndroidRuntime(24283): at android.os.Handler.handleCallback(Handler.java:605) 10-02 13:36:31.647: E/AndroidRuntime(24283): at android.os.Handler.dispatchMessage(Handler.java:92) 10-02 13:36:31.647: E/AndroidRuntime(24283): at android.os.Looper.loop(Looper.java:137) 10-02 13:36:31.647: E/AndroidRuntime(24283): at android.app.ActivityThread.main(ActivityThread.java:4514) 10-02 13:36:31.647: E/AndroidRuntime(24283): at java.lang.reflect.Method.invokeNative(Native Method) 10-02 13:36:31.647: E/AndroidRuntime(24283): at java.lang.reflect.Method.invoke(Method.java:511) 10-02 13:36:31.647: E/AndroidRuntime(24283): at com.android.internal.os.ZygoteInit$MethodAndArgsCaller.run(ZygoteInit.java:980) 10-02 13:36:31.647: E/AndroidRuntime(24283): at com.android.internal.os.ZygoteInit.main(ZygoteInit.java:747) 10-02 13:36:31.647: E/AndroidRuntime(24283): at dalvik.system.NativeStart.main(Native Method) </code></pre> <p>I've tested my app on the Galaxy Nexus (4.1), Galaxy S2, Nexus S, and Galaxy Tab 10.1. All of them work fine. I've followed <a href="http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/media/camera.html#capture-video" rel="nofollow noreferrer">development guidelines for video recording</a>. I don't understand why this device is so different from the others. Here's what I'm seeing on the device. First picture is before I start recording. Second picture is what happens once I start recording.</p> <p><img src="https://i.stack.imgur.com/j85WU.jpg" alt="Before I&#39;ve started recording"></p> <p><img src="https://i.stack.imgur.com/0KtjJ.jpg" alt="After I start recording"></p> <p>Here's my code for preparing and starting the <code>MediaRecorder</code> object:</p> <pre><code>@Override public void onClick( View v ) { switch (v.getId()) { case R.id.camera_action_ImageView: int mode = getMode(); if ( mode == MODE_PHOTO ) { focusThenTakePicture(); } else if ( mode == MODE_VIDEO ) { toggleRecording(); } break; } } private void startRecording() { if ( prepareRecorder() ) { getRecorder().start(); setRecording( true ); } } @TargetApi( 9 ) private boolean prepareRecorder() { Camera camera = getCamera(); camera.unlock(); MediaRecorder recorder = new MediaRecorder(); setRecorder( recorder ); recorder.setCamera( camera ); recorder.setAudioSource( MediaRecorder.AudioSource.CAMCORDER ); recorder.setVideoSource( MediaRecorder.VideoSource.CAMERA ); CamcorderProfile profile; if ( Build.VERSION.SDK_INT &lt; Build.VERSION_CODES.GINGERBREAD ) { profile = CamcorderProfile.get( CamcorderProfile.QUALITY_HIGH ); } else { profile = CamcorderProfile.get( getCameraId(), CamcorderProfile.QUALITY_HIGH ); } recorder.setProfile( profile ); File outputFile = LocalMediaUtil.getOutputMediaFile( LocalMediaUtil.MEDIA_TYPE_VIDEO ); setRecorderOutputFile( outputFile ); recorder.setOutputFile( outputFile.toString() ); recorder.setPreviewDisplay( getPreview().getHolder().getSurface() ); try { recorder.prepare(); } catch (Exception e) { camera.lock(); setRecorder( null ); return false; } return true; } private void stopRecording() { MediaRecorder recorder = getRecorder(); recorder.stop(); releaseRecorder(); setRecording( false ); LocalMediaUtil.scanMedia( this, getRecorderOutputFile().toString(), 90 ); setRecorderOutputFile( null ); } private void toggleRecording() { if ( isRecording() ) { stopRecording(); } else { startRecording(); } } private void releaseRecorder() { MediaRecorder recorder = getRecorder(); if ( recorder != null ) { recorder.reset(); recorder.release(); setRecorder( null ); getCamera().lock(); } } </code></pre> <p><strong>Edit:</strong> So this has something to do with the <code>CamcorderProfile</code> being set. I change it to <code>CamcorderProfile.QUALITY_LOW</code> and it worked fine. So how can I have high resolution video without garbled output?</p> <p><strong>Edit2:</strong> So with <code>CamcorderProfile.QUALITY_LOW</code> set, I get no errors using the video recorder. However, the output video looks very similar the garbled screenshot posted above. So what gives?</p>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
