A fully, featured replacement for screen recording needs backed by Kotlin with the power of Coroutines and Android Jetpack. scrcast is:

* Easy to use: scrcast's API leverages Kotlin languages features for simplicity, ease of use, and little-to-no boilerplate. Simply configure and `record()`
* Modern: scrcast is Kotlin-first and uses modern libraries including Coroutines and Android Jetpack.

## Download

scrcast is available on `mavenCentral()`.

`implementation ("dev.bmcreations:scrcast:$version")`

## Quick Start

scrcast provides a variety of configuration options for capturing, storing, and providing user interactions with your screen recordings.

### Configuring

```kotlin
val recorder = ScrCast.use(activity)
recorder.apply {
// configure options via DSL
options {
video {
maxLengthSecs = 360
}
storage {
directoryName = "scrcast-sample"
}
notification {
title = "Super cool library"
description = "shh session in progress"
icon = resources.getDrawable(R.drawable.ic_camcorder, null).toBitmap()
channel {
id = "1337"
name = "Recording Service"
}
showStop = true
showPause = true
showTimer = true
}
moveTaskToBack = false
startDelayMs = 5_000
}
}
```

You can find [full configuration details and documentation here](https://bmcreations.github.io/scrcast/).

### State

interaction with `MediaRecorder`is abstracted in a easy to use and manage interface, via explict state-changing accessors.

#### Start

```kotlin
recorder.record()
```

#### Stop

```kotlin
recorder.stopRecording()
```

#### Pause

```kotlin
recorder.pause()
```

#### Resume

```kotlin
recorder.resume()
```

### Callbacks

State changes are emitted via `RecordingCallbacks` as a single interface or via a discrete lambda `onRecordingStateChange`

Completed recording output file is also emittable in `RecordingCallbacks` via

```kotlin
fun onRecordingFinished(file: File)
```
