Recording Video with CameraX and Jetpack Compose

on YouTube ↗49m

" summary

Builds a working state-driven video recorder that pairs CameraX and Jetpack Compose by shipping a lifecycle-aware VideoCaptureManager that binds CameraX use cases to a composable lifecycle, exposing a view-based preview via an AndroidView preview bridge, handling audio and camera permissions with an Accompanist permission handler, and avoiding useless recompositions by providing the manager through CompositionLocal to avoid recomposition. Code samples run end to end: preview, start/pause/stop recording, and playback all work with the described architecture.
