Remarks

Provides information about a given media codec available on the device. You can iterate through all codecs available by querying MediaCodecList. For example, here's how to find an encoder that supports a given MIME type:

private static MediaCodecInfo selectCodec(String mimeType) {
                int numCodecs = MediaCodecList.getCodecCount();
                for (int i = 0; i &lt; numCodecs; i++) {
                    MediaCodecInfo codecInfo = MediaCodecList.getCodecInfoAt(i);

                    if (!codecInfo.isEncoder()) {
                        continue;
                    }

                    String[] types = codecInfo.getSupportedTypes();
                    for (int j = 0; j &lt; types.length; j++) {
                        if (types[j].equalsIgnoreCase(mimeType)) {
                            return codecInfo;
                        }
                    }
                }
                return null;
            }
