[android-developers] Re: getSupportedPictureSizes() for video?

From the lack of responses I have to assume there is no easy way to
query for supported video resolutions. So, I tried to obtain them with
the hard way, namely going through some of the standard resolutions
(e.g. CIF, HVGA, VGA, D1 etc.). I initialize a MediaRecorder object in
a loop, providing in setVideoSize() the resolutions I want to test.

prepare() fails if I provide a dummy resolution like 456 x 123, but
happily accepts 640 x 480 on a G1 (with Android 1.5). Of course, the
final video ends up being 352 x 288 (max resolution on the G1). I
don't want to allow the user to select a VGA resolution, if the camera
is not capable capturing video at that resolution.

Is there a way to test that a specific resolution is supported by the
video camera?

Thanks,
Robert
