When I record video by MediaRecorder, it always records in landscape mode, regardless of real device orientation. How to force MediaRecorder/Camera use real orientation ?

Take a look at the documentation here

http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/media/camera.html#capture-video

The most common pitfall with the this example is the setCamera() . YOU MUST SET THE CAMERA IMMEDIATELY AFTER MAKING THE MediaRecorder otherwise you will get errors.

    Camera mCamera = getCameraInstance();
    // adjust the camera the way you need
    mCamera.setDisplayOrientation(90);

    MediaRecorder recorder = new MediaRecorder();

    mCamera.unlock();
    recorder.setCamera(mCamera);

    recorder.setAudioSource(MediaRecorder.AudioSource.DEFAULT);
    recorder.setVideoSource(MediaRecorder.VideoSource.DEFAULT);
    recorder.setProfile(CamcorderProfile.get(CamcorderProfile.QUALITY_HIGH));
    recorder.setOutputFile(filePath);

    // add any limits
    recorder.setMaxDuration(50000); // 50 seconds
    recorder.setMaxFileSize(5000000); // Approximately 5 megabytes

I hope this helps someone. Good Luck!!
