I have searched a lot on google but unfortunately have not found any solution of screen video recording. If you have used the Screencast Video Recorder from google play, you can better understand my question. Can anyone help me out that how to achieve screen video recording programmatically.

Unless this is for an API, this does not appear to be a programming-related question. I think that this question would be a more appropriate fit for http://android.stackexchange.com/. – Jan 14 '13 at 05:06

Why don't you repost (and delete) this question, because nobody's seeming to answer it. Or you could set a bounty. I honestly don't know this stuff. When it comes to Android, I think it's wiser for me to stop with my two-cents. :) – Jan 14 '13 at 18:59

AFAIK Screencast records by reading /dev/graphics/fb0, which is slow.
Programmatically the highest performance method is to create a virtual display. Currently only works on Android 4.4. See the screenrecorder.cpp for how to do this:
For Android 4.1 and above you can use the SurfaceComposerClient (both from native or Java code), although it's fairly broken on 4.3.
Unless you want to write a screen recorder yourself I wouldn't bother and just use one of the off-the-shelf recorders.
for some more detail see this answer.
