How to know when MediaRecorder has finished writing data to file

Question

We\'re using MediaRecorder to record video to a file on the external storage using setOutputFile() before doing the actual recording.

Everything works fine, but the main

Answer 1

Apparently there is no way to detect when the recording has stopped in Media player, but there is a stop() that you can override if you create a custom class that implements MediaRecorder. here I would do something like this:

public class MyRecorder implements MediaRecorder {
    public boolean stopped;

    .... implement all the methods that MediaRecorder has making 
         sure to call super for each method.

    @Override
    public void myStop() {
        this.stopped = true;
        super.stop(); 
    }
}

Then you can access the boolean to see if it has stopped recording.
