Answer 1

    // Put this code in ,on Button click or in onCreate to Capture the Video 


  Intent intent = new Intent(MediaStore.ACTION_VIDEO_CAPTURE);
    videoUri = getOutputMediaFileUri(MEDIA_TYPE_VIDEO);
    intent.putExtra(MediaStore.EXTRA_OUTPUT, videoUri);
    intent.putExtra(MediaStore.EXTRA_VIDEO_QUALITY, 1);
    startActivityForResult(intent, CAPTURE_VIDEO_ACTIVITY_REQUEST_CODE);
