Android Question record video in background service

[sleepy]

first of all, hello all and thank you for this great community and various contributions.

so, what i basically want to do is turn my phone into a car camera that will record in the background while waze will run in the foreground.
ideally i would start my recording from a widget (in a background service)
i have searched the forum for a way to record video in background service but found nothing.
i did find the following projects that seem to achieve this

GitHub - sprimgupta/Secret-Video-Recorder: This is a demo Android app to show that video recording can be done without showing preview.

GitHub - pickerweng/CameraRecorder: A background camera recorder for Android phone.

while i understand some of what is going on in these projects, my knowledge of java is quite limited so...
if anyone might be able to at least point me in the right direction i would be extremely grateful.
(a simple demo would be even more helpful )

tia.

so, last stab at this...

found the following https://github.com/munnadroid/AndroidBackgroundVideoRecording and tried to use the Simple Library Compiler tool to make a b4a library.

after a few tries i managed to do it.

problem is i cant seem to call/initiate this from b4a.

any ideas what im doing wrong?
