<p>The Android multimedia framework includes support for capturing and playing audio, video and
images in a variety of common media types, so that you can easily integrate them into your
applications. You can play audio or video from media files stored in your application's resources,
from standalone files in the file system, or from a data stream arriving over a
network connection, all using the {@link android.media.MediaPlayer} or {@link
android.media.JetPlayer} APIs. You can also record audio, video and take pictures using the {@link
android.media.MediaRecorder} and {@link android.hardware.Camera} APIs if supported by the device
hardware.</p>

<p>The following topics show you how to use the Android framework to implement multimedia capture
and playback.</p>
