HBRecorder

Adding the library to your project:

Add the following in your root build.gradle at the end of repositories:

allprojects {
    repositories {
        ...
        maven { url 'https://jitpack.io' }	    
    }
}

Implement library in your app level build.gradle:

dependencies {
    implementation 'com.github.HBiSoft:HBRecorder:0.1.3'
}

Implementing the library:

  1. In your Activity, first implement HBRecorder, as shown below:
public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity implements HBRecorderListener {
  1. Alt+Enter to implement the following method:
@Override
public void HBRecorderOnComplete() {
    //This is called once the file was created
}
  1. Init HBRecorder as shown below:
public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity implements HBRecorderListener {
    HBRecorder hbRecorder;

    @Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);     

        //Init HBRecorder
        hbRecorder = new HBRecorder(this, this);        

}
  1. Add the following permissions in your manifest:
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WRITE_INTERNAL_STORAGE" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.RECORD_AUDIO" />
<!--This is only necessary if you are displaying notifications-->
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.FOREGROUND_SERVICE" />

That's it `HBRecorder` is now ready to be used.

When ever you want to start capturing your screen, it is important you do it as shown below:

private void startRecordingScreen() {
    MediaProjectionManager mediaProjectionManager = (MediaProjectionManager) getSystemService(Context.MEDIA_PROJECTION_SERVICE);
    Intent permissionIntent = mediaProjectionManager != null ? mediaProjectionManager.createScreenCaptureIntent() : null;
    startActivityForResult(permissionIntent, SCREEN_RECORD_REQUEST_CODE);
}

@Override
protected void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent data) {
    super.onActivityResult(requestCode, resultCode, data);
    if (requestCode == SCREEN_RECORD_REQUEST_CODE) {
        if (resultCode == RESULT_OK) {
            //It is important to call this before starting the recording
            hbRecorder.onActivityResult(resultCode, data, this);
            //Start screen recording
            hbRecorder.startScreenRecording(data);

        }
    }
}
