Cameraview: pause and resume video recording

[gamalsebaee18]

Great library !
I need to enable user to pause and resume video while recording

[natario1]

You can't right now and I don't see this as coming anytime soon, sorry!

[shivkoshti]

have you done with this issue ?

@natario1 I noticed that you left a comment in the main class about the new MediaRecorder pause and resume methods in API 24-- would you be open to implementing these now that API 24+ adoption is above 50%? (It's still not great, but it's something...)

I would assume that support for API <24 is out of scope for this library since I think you'd have to stop/start and stitch the videos together to emulate it. If I were you I'd leave that up to the users of the library to implement if they so choose.

[natario1]

I am not against it but not planning to work on it either. Feel free to do it if you want, but please do so in the v2 branch as it changes everything about video recording.

@natario1 it is actually a very good feature that not many have. OpenCamera has that functionality and it's a very good lib. But it can be a bit slow for certain things if you need fast shots and init.

Yes, this might be make this library more special and unique feature. Even WhatsApp, Signal and Telegram not support this feature.
