It looks like there’s no way to record video. Can I open a native video app, and pass it
arguments? Perhaps I could open a bogus URL with querystring parameters,
implement a listener, and have the listener open the native app with arguments.
Is this possible?
My goal would be for my Lua to call the native app (which I would write), record the
video there, and when done, the native app would return focus to the Lua. [import]uid: 172353 topic_id: 30061 reply_id: 330061[/import]
Sorry, as you noticed, we don’t currently have video recording in Corona.
You can use URL schemes to open another app if it implements URL scheme handling. (So you could open a video app from your app if you know the URL scheme.)
You can also use URL schemes to cause other apps to (re)open your app. But the other apps have to call your URL scheme. If you don’t own the other app, you may not be able to make it do that.

That’s what I was hoping to hear. Writing my own video app in Android will be no problem, as I’m already up to speed on native java there. So I’ll try to implement the URL scheme handling inputs and outputs.
On iOS I’ll be challenged, as I don’t know C. [import]uid: 172353 topic_id: 30061 reply_id: 120568[/import]
Actually, to clarify, I know the URL schemes work on iOS. I’m not sure if the equivalent is available on Android.

Android is less sandboxed than iOS, so there may be other ways to launch and send info to an app. [import]uid: 7563 topic_id: 30061 reply_id: 120589[/import]

I looked in the roadmap and didn’t see any mention of supporting recording video. Did I miss something or is this so far down the list that there is no way it will ever happen? Crossing my fingers that I missed it? [import]uid: 144922 topic_id: 30061 reply_id: 130661[/import]
