I'm using the following code to record the camera in Android. How can I change the default codec (the default is H264) here?

Intent intent = new Intent(MediaStore.ACTION_VIDEO_CAPTURE);
fileUri = getOutputMediaFileUri(MEDIA_TYPE_VIDEO);
intent.putExtra(MediaStore.EXTRA_OUTPUT, fileUri); // set the file

I think you may check the official documents about MediaRecorder class and MediaRecorder.VideoEncoder class.

Download size < 0.08 MB. But also Ad-free, Pure & Accurate enough.
The minimalist app is available on Google Play https://goo.gl/ws42fN

Directly controlling a device camera requires a lot more code than requesting pictures or videos from existing camera applications. However, if you want to build a specialized camera application or something fully integrated into your app UI, this lesson shows you how.
