Put a button in xml file, where you want open the camera for video recording.

here by i put the video recoding code.

this will create a folder in your sdcard/ or if no sdcard inserted it will use sytem inbult memory. hope u ll know..i dont need to explain a lot on this.

then map the below on click listener to the button you designed in your xml

    Button recordButton = 
            (Button) findViewById(R.id.CaptureVid);
    recordButton.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() {

    @Override
    public void onClick(View arg0) {

    String timestamp="1";
    String  timestamp = new SimpleDateFormat("MM-dd-yyyy_HH-mm-ss aa").format(Calendar.getInstance().getTime());
    File filepath = Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory();
    File dir = new File(filepath.getAbsolutePath()+ "/samplevideofolder/");
    dir.mkdirs();
    File mediaFile = new File(Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory().getAbsolutePath() + "/samplevideofolder/Video_"+timestamp+".avi");  
    Intent intent = new Intent(MediaStore.ACTION_VIDEO_CAPTURE);
    Uri fileUri = Uri.fromFile(mediaFile);
    intent.putExtra(MediaStore.EXTRA_OUTPUT, fileUri);
    intent.putExtra(MediaStore.EXTRA_DURATION_LIMIT, 30); 
    startActivityForResult(intent, VIDEO_CAPTURE);
        }
    });

put this code somewhere below , as function inside the main class

protected void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent data) {


    if (requestCode == VIDEO_CAPTURE) {
      if (resultCode == RESULT_OK) {



         Toast.makeText(this, "Video saved to:\n" +data.getData(), Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();



      } else if (resultCode == RESULT_CANCELED) {
            Toast.makeText(this, "Video recording cancelled.",  Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
      } else {
         //Toast.makeText(this, "Failed to record video",                        Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
        }
    }
}

thats it, you are done with video recording..

in the above code you can find a line like this.

intent.putExtra(MediaStore.EXTRA_DURATION_LIMIT, 30);

this will automatically stops the video after 30 seconds,,, if you want to record the video for more than that, unlimietd time.. just comment that line.. ok

You do it using the Media Recorder class as this explains: How can I capture a video recording on Android?
