I’m trying to make a prototype application that over and over
1- record a video with the camera for x seconds
2- displays this video
For this I use the components Camera from expo-camera and Video from expo-av
For this I have two views :
I use in my code the stateSequence property and the sequencer() function which displays alternately the view with the Camera component which films for x seconds , and the video view which allows me to display the video.
Sequencer() is triggered with setInterval( this.sequencer , 10000) found in the componentWillMount()
I can switch alternately from a View with the Camera component to a View with the Video component.
To record a video with the Camera component I use recordAsync(), but I get the following error:
Unhandled promise rejection: Error: Camera is not running
I’m using an android phone for my tests.
Can’t you help me
this is my code
import { StyleSheet, Text, View ,TouchableOpacity} from 'react-native';
import * as Permissions from 'expo-permissions';
import { Camera } from 'expo-camera';
import { Video } from 'expo-av';
import { Logs } from 'expo';
export default class SequenceViewer extends Component {
constructor(props) {
super(props);
this.state = {
stateSequence: "SHOOT ",
hasCameraPermission: null,
type: Camera.Constants.Type.front,
}
this.recordVideo = this.recordVideo.bind(this)
}
sequencer = () => {
if(this.state.stateSequence==="WATCH"){
this.setState({ stateSequence: "SHOOT",})
this.recordVideo(); // Error message Camera is not running
} else {
this.setState({stateSequence: "WATCH"})
}
}
async componentWillMount() {
let rollStatus = await Permissions.askAsync(Permissions.CAMERA_ROLL);
let cameraResponse = await Permissions.askAsync(Permissions.CAMERA)
if (rollStatus.status=='granted'){
if (cameraResponse.status == 'granted' ){
let audioResponse = await Permissions.askAsync(Permissions.AUDIO_RECORDING);
if (audioResponse.status == 'granted'){
this.setState({ permissionsGranted: true });
setInterval( this.sequencer , 10000);
}
}
}
}
recordVideo = async () => {
if(this.state.cameraIsRecording){
this.setState({cameraIsRecording:false})
this.camera.stopRecording();
}
else {
this.setState({cameraIsRecording:true})
if (this.camera) {
let record = await this.camera.recordAsync(quality='480p',maxDuration=5,mute=true).then( data =>{
this.setState( {recVideoUri :data.uri})
})
}
}
};
render() {
const { hasCameraPermission } = this.state
if(this.state.stateSequence=="WATCH")
{
return(
<View style={styles.container}>
<Video
source={{ uri:this.state.recVideoUri }}
rate={1.0}
volume={1.0}
isMuted={false}
resizeMode="cover"
shouldPlay
isLooping
style={{ width: 300, height: 300 }}
ref={(ref) => { this.player = ref }}
/>
</View>
)
} else
{
return(
<View style={{ flex: 1 }}>
<Camera style={{ flex: 1 }} type={this.state.type} ref={ref => {this.camera = ref; }}></Camera>
</View>
)
}
}
}
const styles = StyleSheet.create({
viewerText: {
fontSize: 20,
fontWeight: 'bold',
},
container: {
flex: 1,
backgroundColor: '#fff',
alignItems: 'center',
justifyContent: 'center',
},
});
Thank you
