Multimedia and Camera

The Android multimedia framework includes support for capturing and playing audio, video and images in a variety of common media types, so that you can easily integrate them into your applications. You can play audio or video from media files stored in your application's resources, from standalone files in the file system, or from a data stream arriving over a network connection, all using the MediaPlayer or JetPlayer APIs. You can also record audio, video and take pictures using the MediaRecorder and Camera APIs if supported by the device hardware.
