MediaRecorder.stop() hanging with Android 4.0 (ICS)

Question

When calling stop() within my Video Capture activity, on occasion, the software will hang and will not come back to life. Only triggering an ANR by hitting \"Back\

Answer 1

Probably you're starting the preview and media recorder init in onCreate(). Move this to a later point or add new Handler.postDelayed(runnable, 1000);
