CamCorder and Video Player not "auto starting" is this by design

[Tim Carter]

Just knocked up a quick app with a button (Record) and Videoplayer (playback) on the screen and Camcorder.

User hits the Record button, this invokes the camcorder. When the camcorder is finished, the videoplayer plays back the video.

However, I have to manually start the camcorder (I understand I have to manually stop it!) and I also have to manually start the Videoplayer (tap to bring up transport, tap the play icon to play)

Is this by design, do I need some timers?

What i was expecting is for the camcorder to immediately start recording once the user hits the Record button, and for the Videoplayer to immediately start playback once camcorder has stopped (my blocks call the video player to astart with the clip)

Thanks for reading

you have to manually start and stop the recorder, but you can autostart the videoplayer
