This is a browser for videos recorded by the app, built as a Recycler View. When the video reaches specified length, we let MediaStore Content Provider know about the new file, and repeat the recording process. We need this so that when users select 'Save recording' we will mark the videos as 'starred', so that they are not deleted during rotation. When a new recording starts, we save the current and previous recording filenames in the database. Once the directory size reaches specified quota, the videos get rotated (the oldest one gets deleted to create space for a new one). This service continuously records video in pieces of specified length in the background, using the rear (primary) camera, and saves them in dedicated application directory. WidgetService and BackgroundVideoRecorder services are started.Some navigation app is started in background (see function here).The way application works is the following: The core functionality of the application is performed by two services: WidgetService, which draws the widget icons over other apps, and BackgroundVideoRecorder, which records videos in background and rotates them. Open Dash Cam is a dash camera widget, that is drawn over other apps, allowing users to record videos in background while using other apps, such as navigation. The idea behind Open Dash Cam is to create a minimally-intrusive on-screen widget, that will leave the major part of the screen to any other application the driver chooses to use.
