## What it is
An archived Android sample app demonstrating how to record video using the Camera2 API, written in Java. The repository has been migrated to the android/camera-samples repo, which now hosts a catalog of Camera2 and CameraX samples.

## Use cases
- learn how to record video with the Camera2 API on Android
- find example code for camera video capture in Java
- understand Camera2 API best practices for video recording
- get a starting point for building a custom Android camera app
- see how to handle camera capture sessions on Android

## When to choose
- you need a minimal, focused example of Camera2 video recording in Java
- you are learning the Camera2 API and want reference sample code
- you are okay reading frozen code since the API concepts still apply

## When to avoid
- you want actively maintained code or bug fixes - the repo is archived
- you prefer Kotlin or modern Compose-based samples - use android/camera-samples instead
- you want CameraX examples rather than raw Camera2
- you need production-ready camera functionality rather than a demo

## Facets
- artifact type: learning-resource
- maturity: abandoned
- function: computer-vision, developer-tools
- domain: android-tools, tutorials, media
- platform: jvm
- tags: android, camera2, video-capture, sample-code, archived, google-archive
