I'm sorry if there's a duplicate, however I wasn't able to find a clear answer after some time of searching. Is it still impossible to capture video without a preview? Is it possible to implement this functionality without using any weird workarounds and to be sure that it should work on most of devices. My requirement is to make a spy function that will record the video without the user seeing it. Is it feasible? If not - then how do apps like Secret Video Recording work? Thank you.

@dnxviral, Thanks, although, it looks like the implementation isn't very stable and is likely to fail on some devices.. – Egor Aug 31 '12 at 13:08
