MediaRecorder and VideoSource.SURFACE, stop failed: -1007 (a serious Android bug)

I guess there is no solution

so the answer: MediaRecorder/Android is buggy or Mobile companies didn’t care of all Android features while developing their devices

Update

MediaCodec is also buggy with canvas

mSurface = mMediaCodec.createInputSurface();
mSurface.lockHardwareCanvas()

It works on much more devices with MediaCodec but still some devices may fail to record video correctly using this method

So final answer: don’t ever use lockCanvas or lockHardwareCanvas when working with MediaCodec or MediaRecorder, it’s buggy..

The only way – OpenGl ES
