Limitation of testing video recording on emulators
MediaRecorder does not work properly on emulators, as stated in the documentation. Specifically,
when recording a video with sound enabled and trying to play it back, the duration won't be correct and
you will only see the first frame.
Custom Video Recording Path
Although it is possible to use an absolute path like /storage/emulated/0/Download/video.mp4, this is a fragile practice and may fail on many devices or Android versions due to Scoped Storage restrictions.
- Best Practice: Always use the path_provider package to fetch a safe, writable directory.
- Recommended Directory: Use
getTemporaryDirectory()orgetApplicationDocumentsDirectory().
