Android Question AndroidVideoCapture: Null recorder

[peacemaker]

HI, All

I'm trying to play with the video recording lib https://www.b4x.com/android/forum/t...d-in-b4a-6-jan-new-lib-files-in-post-48.60859.

Sample is working OK. But when i try to make my simplest sample

Sub Activity_Create(FirstTime As Boolean)
    'Do not forget to load the layout file created with the visual designer. For example:
    Activity.LoadLayout("1")
 
    avc1.MaximimDuration = 1000 * 60 * 0.5
    avc1.MaximumFileSize = 15000000
 
    avc1.MaximumDurationReachedToastMessage = "Спасибо, максимальная длительность записи достигнута."       'added 4 Dec 2015 - set your own toast message when Max Dur is reached during recording
    avc1.MaximumFileSizeReachedToastMessage = "Спасибо, максимальный размер файла записи достигнут."      'added 4 Dec 2015 - set your own toast message when Max Files Size is reached during recording
 
    'The video files will be stored in folder /sdcard/Videos/ of your device.
    'Add code to create this folder if the folder does not exist or else just create it manually
    avc1.VideoName = Application.LabelName & "_"        'amended 4 Dec 2015 - the captured video will now be stored as "video1_yyyyMMdd_HHmmss.MP4"
    'i.e a date/time stamp will de added/appended to the video name
 
    avc1.StopCameraOnMaxSizeDuration = True             'added 30 Nov 2015
    avc1.ShowToastMessages = True                       'added 30 Nov 2015
 
'    avc1.VideoFolderName = "MyVideoFolder"              'added 4 Dec 2015 (it will make a folder called MyVideoFolder in the root directory of your device and store the videos in that folder
    avc1.VideoFolderName = "/" & Application.LabelName     'added 4 Dec 2015 (it will make a tree of folder called MyVideoFolder/Videos in the root directory of your device and store the videos in the Videos sub folder
 
    avc1.AddTimeStampToFileName = True

in my separate project - the first starting (avc1.setStartStopRecording) kills the app with error:

Spoiler: Logcat

The lib shows for a second:

"Fail in prepareMediaRecorder".

Runtime permissions to PERMISSION_CAMERA and PERMISSION_RECORD_AUDIO are OK, and manifest also.

But the author sample is working on the same phone !!!111 I do not understand what the trouble is...

SOLVED: 3 permissions are required, PERMISSION_CAMERA and PERMISSION_RECORD_AUDIO and PERMISSION_WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE
