Video timer inconsistencies

[UGhari]

I know you have already closed an issue similar to this, but I think you would understand best how to approach such an issue as you know how all of your code works. As the title says after hitting record I show a time elapsed.

I have used CountDownTimer:

`new CountDownTimer(10000, 1000) {

                    public void onTick(long millisUntilFinished) {
                        forcePressNext = true;
                        timerVideo.setText(20-millisUntilFinished/1000 + "s");
                    }

                    public void onFinish() {
                        timerVideo.setText("10s!");
                        if (forcePressNext == true) {
                            isRecording = false;
                            cameraView.stopCapturingVideo();
                        }
                    }
                }.start();`

It is quite inconsistent by 2/3s and the inconsistency gets larger on older devices, have you got any ideas?

thanks

No, surely there is a delay between the moment you call startVideo and the moment the recording actually start (we must setup recording), and between endVideo and the moment it actually ends.

I don't know if and how this could be improved.

I shall investigate further and let you know if I find anything

This is not a good way but i solved my problem.
It did work for me in when i tried to 1500 milliseconds to my desired seconds
for example if you want 5 sec video you need (5000+1500) milliseconds it worked for me in motorola and asus devices.

            long capturesec =  (5*1000)+1500;
            //for 5 sec = 6500
            //for 10 sec 11500
            //for 15 sec 16500
           cameraView.startCapturingVideo(file);
            new CountDownTimer(capturesec, 1000) {
                public void onTick(long millisUntilFinished) {
                    txtTime.setText("00:0" + ((millisUntilFinished-1500) / 1000));
                }

                public void onFinish() {
                    txtTime.setText("00:00");
                    cameraView.stopCapturingVideo();
                  
                }
            }.start();

@natario1 any update for this issue? I am still facing same issue. video duration is different than countdown timer.
