how to change video orientation in MediaRecorder to portrait

Question

When I record video by MediaRecorder, it always records in landscape mode, regardless of real device orientation. How to force MediaRecorder/Camera use real orientation ?

Answer 1

I've stuck with this problem before, too. I found that you can use the function setOrientationHint (API 9). Call this function before you call MediaRecorder.prepare(). You can setup the orientation degree for your output video.

Hope it helps, good luck!
