I am capturing video using MediaRecorder. The part of the code is given below.

 surfaceView = (SurfaceView) findViewById(R.id.surface_camera); mCamera = Camera.open(); surfaceHolder = surfaceView.getHolder(); surfaceHolder.addCallback(this); surfaceHolder.setType(SurfaceHolder.SURFACE_TYPE_PUSH_BUFFERS);

But surfaceHolder.setType(SurfaceHolder.SURFACE_TYPE_PUSH_BUFFERS); is deprecated. Is there any other methods instead of this method. I want to run my code in all versions.

  • The value is set automatically when needed. That is what document says for android. But if it is less than honeycomb then you should set it Commented Apr 12, 2015 at 14:20

You can check the SDK version and only call SurfaceHolder.SURFACE_TYPE_PUSH_BUFFERS) for older versions. 

 if(Build.VERSION.SDK_INT < Build.VERSION_CODES.HONEYCOMB) surfaceHolder.setType(SurfaceHolder.SURFACE_TYPE_PUSH_BUFFERS);
