• You can try this code

  var win = Titanium.UI.createWindow({
      title: 'Video Recording from Appcelerator Titanium',
      backgroundColor: '#fff'
  });
  var recordButton = Titanium.UI.createButton({
      top: 10, left: 10, right: 10, height: 35, title: 'Record Video'
  });
  win.add(recordButton);
  var shareButton = Titanium.UI.createButton({
      top: 50, left: 10, right: 10, height: 35,
      title: 'Share Recorded Video', visible: false
  });
  win.add(shareButton);
  var saveButton = Titanium.UI.createButton({
      top: 100, left: 10, right: 10, height: 35,
      title: 'Save Recorded Video', visible: false
  });
  win.add(saveButton);
  win.open();

  var videoUri = null;
  
  /**

  recordButton.addEventListener('click', function() {
      // http://developer.android.com/reference/android/provider/MediaStore.html
      var intent = Titanium.Android.createIntent({ action: 'android.media.action.VIDEO_CAPTURE' });
      Titanium.Android.currentActivity.startActivityForResult(intent, function(e) {
          if (e.error) {

• Hi Vance,

  Here is a gist that demonstrates how to record video on Android:

  https://gist.github.com/832488

  It starts the video capture activity and handles the result when it's available.

• This tweak of the above solution does work under 3.x TI SDK. You need to get a reference to currentActivity a different way. Tested and working on SDK 3.2.1 and Galaxy Nexus (Android 4.0.4).

  var curActivity = win.getActivity();
