Video start button closes app

Open mrvanes opened this issue 6 years ago • 14 comments

When pressing the start videorecording button, Simple-Camera closes by sliding down out of view, no FC messages from OS. Phone: Alcatel Idol 2 Mini S (6036Y) Android: 6.0.1 Kernel: 3.10.49

what app version do you have?

tibbi avatar Jun 15 '18 19:06 tibbi

4.1.1 12 june 2018.

mrvanes avatar Jun 15 '18 19:06 mrvanes

not sure what is the issue, but instead of crashing a message should appear in version 4.1.2 released soon. Let me know if you see it and what is written on it :) Thanks

4.1.2 Installed. The app still silently closes and leaves no trace.

Might changing the resolution help? Or switching between camera and video mode before hand? (For me, the video mode works better than before, since the newest version 4.1.0)

Already tried that. No improvement.

I would like to take a note that in my case video start button also closes app when videos are set to be saved on SD card. If this setting is changed to save videos on internal memory, everything works as expected.

I got the same Issue (probably a second one too). I had the same behaviour as @mrvanes when saving to SD Card When trying @GarciaPL s solution I'm getting a Java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Surface was abandoned

are you using app version 5.0.0?

tibbi avatar Oct 29 '18 08:10 tibbi

yes, I cloned the master branch a few hours ago and app version in build.gradle is 5.0.0. My android version is 7.0

hm ok, sadly I cannot reproduce the issue on any of my devices, will try it again someday

tibbi avatar Oct 29 '18 10:10 tibbi

I have exactly the same issue with SimpleCamera 5.0.1 on Android 8.0
