## What it is
An archived Android sample app demonstrating screen capture using Android media APIs, originally part of Google's sample collection. It has been migrated to the android/media-samples repository, which hosts samples for best practices with Android audio and video APIs.

## Use cases
- learn how to capture screen video on android
- android mediaprojection screen recording example
- sample code for android media apis

## When to choose
- you want a reference example of screen capture on android
- you are learning android media apis from working sample code
- you need a starting point for mediaprojection-based recording

## When to avoid
- you need maintained or updated code - use android/media-samples instead
- you want a production-ready screen recorder application
- you need support for newer android versions beyond what the sample covers
