Save captured video via Android intent to specific directory and file name

I am able create and start an intent to capture a video. But how can I set the file name and save it to a specific directory?

Here's what I have so far:

videoPath = "/X1," + num1 +
             ",Y1," + num2 +
             ",X2," + num3 +
             ",Y2," + num4 +
             ",A," + num5 +
             ",G," + num6 +
             ",la," + num7 +
             ",lo," + num8+ ".mp4";

Intent intent = new Intent(MediaStore.ACTION_VIDEO_CAPTURE);
intent.putExtra(MediaStore.EXTRA_OUTPUT, videoPath);
startActivityForResult(intent, VIDEO_INTENT);

You are setting the filename. It is most of what you have in videoPath.

However:

  1. Your videoPath does not specify a directory, other than an invalid leading slash. Use getExternalFilesDir() on Context to get a likely File object for the directory, then create a new File object pointing to the actual file you want to use.

  2. I am not sure if commas will work well in filenames here.

  3. EXTRA_OUTPUT is a Uri, not a String or a File. Use Uri.fromFile() to convert your File to a Uri.
