Just deprecate next API

MediaRecorder.setVideoSource(MediaRecorder.VideoSource.SURFACE);

it's all buggy and usually works only Google Nexuses but Android works on many other devices

Just implement some other API which will work 100% for all devices

Yes we can use MediaCodec and OpenGL ES but it's very difficult

Just make some friendly API which will allow to record video, edit frames before recording (to add timestamp text for example) and background recording

This problem occurred when I clicked the record button frequently. The temporary solution is to reduce the frequent clicking, hoping to help you
