Question 1: Presumingly i wanted to allocate only 1GB of space to store my videos in a particular self declared directory how should i do it?
Question 2: And i wanted my directory to capped at 1GB after which how is it going to auto-delete the oldest video file in that directory once its about to reach 1GB?
Sorry i'm kinna new in java and android and currently creating an car blackbox app can someone help me... Thanks
This is what I have tried so far can someone tell me how should i implement the above function into my mainActivity:
My RecordingService.java Service file
