我也有同样的问题。我是从后台录音服务出发的，希望创建一个后台视频录制服务。您无法真正录制背景视频，但可以在现有 UI 中使视频预览非常小。我按照教程：http://integratingstuff.wordpress.com/2010/10/18/writing-code-that-captures-videos-on-android/ 和示例相机预览演示。但最终http://www.apress.com/downloadable/download/sample/sample_id/39/ 中的示例代码足够简单，可以使用 tweek，但也足够完整，可以使用 setCamera。我将在此处发布我的解决方案，以节省其他人从玩具示例发展到具有高质量背景视频录制的复杂示例（如有必要使用前置摄像头）的时间。
这是带有“无”预览（预览是 1x1 像素，模拟不显眼的录制 LED）的 Android 视频录像机的来源，用于录制视频而不会分散用户的注意力。要使用您自己的 UI，只需将 video_recorder.xml 更改为您的布局（确保保留 VideoView）。它在 Android 2.2 和 3.0 设备上进行了测试。
合适的用例：
- 眼睛凝视跟踪库，让用户可以将眼睛用作鼠标来浏览网页
- 在实验室/诊所实验（心理语言学或言语病理学）中使用平板电脑摄像头代替摄像机

/**
* Android video recorder with "no" preview (the preview is a 1x1 pixel which
* simulates an unobtrusive recording led). Based on Pro Android 2 2010 (Hashimi
* et al) source code in Listing 9-6.
*
* Also demonstrates how to use the front-facing and back-facing cameras.
* A calling Intent can pass an Extra to use the front facing camera if available.
*
* Suitable use cases:
* A: eye gaze tracking library to let users use eyes as a mouse to navigate a web page
* B: use tablet camera(s) to replace video camera in lab experiments
* (psycholingusitics or other experiments)
*
* Video is recording is controlled in two ways:
* 1. Video starts and stops with the activity
* 2. Video starts and stops on any touch
*
* To control recording in other ways see the try blocks of the onTouchEvent
*
* To incorporate into project add these features and permissions to
* manifest.xml:
*
* <uses-feature android:name="android.hardware.camera"/>
* <uses-feature android:name="android.hardware.camera.autofocus"/>
*
* <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE" />
* <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.CAMERA" />
* <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.RECORD_AUDIO" />
*
* Tested Date: October 2 2011 with manifest.xml
* <uses-sdk android:minSdkVersion="8" android:targetSdkVersion="11"/>
