Can't adjust recorder file location

[nathan-may]

Currently, I can't adjust the location of saved mp4's, and as such these must be accessed through Android Studio. It would be really helpful if the output file location for screen captures could be changed so that we could write to external storage and make these videos more accessible.

This is a good idea! As a temporary alternative to this, remember that the tab logcat in Android Studio offers a recording option which can record and automatically pull the recording to the host machine.

Thanks 😄 I'll use that alternative if required, but my thought was for testers that I work with - since they don't have access to dev tools (i.e Android Studio), it would be best if they could plug the phone into their machines and easily find the video output via File Explorer. Could we expose a method in RecordingManager.java to allow us to do this?

Totally understandable use case. I'll try to take a peek at it if no one beats me to it sometime this week.

Thats great. Thanks a lot 😄

I've been messing around with this recently, I think i've found a simple solution. However, I can't get the sample applicaton running on an emulator or physical device. I have followed the instructions, and attempted all of the standard fixes within android studio. What should I do?

Update; - can now run the app on a device, via gradle installDebug
