The Recorder API provides functions for audio and video recording.

Required Header

#include <recorder.h>

Overview

The Recorder API provides functions to control the recording of a multimedia content. Simple audio and audio/video are supported. Recording operations operate as a state machine, described below.

In addition, the API contains functions to configure the recording process, or find details about it, such as getting/setting the filename for the recording, the file format and the video codec. Some of these interfaces are listed in the Recorder Attributes API.

Additional functions allow registering notifications via callback functions for various state change events.
