Android Media

Use media for all media actions.

Tool Map

  • action=capture_photo
  • action=record_video
  • action=list_recent
  • action=audio_record with mode=start|stop|status
  • action=audio_playback with mode=start|stop|status
  • action=open_app_settings

Default Automation Policy

  • Start with direct tool execution.
  • Use request_if_missing=true and open_settings_if_failed=true for permission recovery.
  • Keep wait_user_confirmation=true only for camera/system flows that require user completion.

Capture Playbook

  1. Launch capture_photo or record_video.
  2. Wait for user to complete camera UI and return.
  3. Verify output URI when available.
  4. Return machine-readable output URI metadata.

Audio Playbook

  1. Start recording with audio_record(mode="start").
  2. Stop with audio_record(mode="stop").
  3. Replay with audio_playback(mode="start", path="...").

Common Calls

  • media(action="list_recent", kind="images", count=10, request_if_missing=true, open_settings_if_failed=true, wait_user_confirmation=true)
  • media(action="capture_photo", wait_user_confirmation=true, check_output_after_confirm=true)
  • media(action="audio_record", mode="start", filename="note.m4a")

Failure Recovery

  • permissions_missing: run with permission recovery flags.
  • capture_not_found or record_not_found: retake and ensure save is completed.
  • ui_unavailable: keep app foreground and retry.
