HEVC (H.265) not natively supported in Android?
Question
I'm a little confused, I'm looking at the media recorder class and see the HEVC (or H.265) is not listed as an encode format in the Android APIs. See here: http://developer.android.com/reference/android/media/MediaRecorder.VideoEncoder.html
Apparently there are devices which support HEVC like the Galaxy S4. See here: http://www.androidos.in/2013/03/samsung-galaxy-s-4-hevc-h-265-support/
Does this mean that Samsung put their own HEVC libraries into the media framework of Android? Is that the right way to view this?

Support for HEVC has been added in API 24(Nougat). The docs have already been updated with this.

I have been working with HEVC for a few years now and when we had developed the media player for a sample test, there was no library inclusion for that. We had typically ported our encoder. You are correct that Hevc libraries will be included into the Media Framework of Android.
