Hello. This is great! Do you also know a way to make the recorded video to be displayed in a: var activeMovie = Titanium.Media.createVideoPlayer on a Android devise? It seems to be impossible to make it show up in a Android view.

Thank you!
Unfortunately, this is not working on some Android devices (e.g. my Samsung Galaxy Nexus). On those devices e.intent.data is always null. I tried several solutions suggested on stackoverflow (e.g. My Android camera Uri is returning a null value, but the Samsung fix is in place, help?), but not a single one lead to success.

...the capture overlay presents options for video quality and shows 'high' as default - again, just wondering if you might have an explanation for any reports of video quality issues (comparing new Android output to iPhone 4 output, for example). Thanks.
