I need some way to record android screen AND audio. I have seen some libraries that record screen, but I need audio too. Does such a thing exists? Anybody knows any library to do that? I know something similar is available for iOS (ReplayKit), but seems that is not available for Android. Any alternative for Android?
The only thing in the Android SDK that allows you to record the screen are the media projection APIs. They do not include sound. However, there is nothing stopping you from recording sound yourself and attempting to merge the two. The problem is in getting the audio to accurately sync up with the video.
You can try looking into https://github.com/saki4510t/ScreenRecordingSample.
It does record the screen's video and audio from the microphone.

Let me refraise my question, I wrote it in a hurry.
Current situation:
I have set up a digital video recorder to record broadcasts provided via DVB-C. It is running on a raspberry 3B using TVHeadend and jetty/cling to provide UPnP and other possibilities to access media files. For watching recordings, I wrote an android player app using IJKPlayer, which runs on smartphones, FireTV and AndroidTV.
One hassle when playing media files which are currently beeing recorded is, that IJKPlayer doesn not support timeshifting. Means, when I start playing a currently recording file, I can only watch the length which is known by the player at that moment. Anything which is recorded afterwards can not be played. I need to exit the player activity and start it again. I have resolved that issue by "simulating" a completed recoding using a custom servlet implementation. Since the complete length of the recording is already known, I can use ffmpeg to accomplish this.
Future situation:
I plan to move away from IJKPlayer to ExoPlayer, because it supports hardware playback and is much faster when playing h.264 media. I can of course use the same solution like above, but as far as I have found out yet, ExoPlayer can support media files which are currently being recorded by using the Timeline class. However, I don't seem to find neither a usefull documentation nor any good example. Hence, I would appreciate any help with the timeline object.

Looks like my approach won't work. At least, I didn't find a solution. Problem is, that the server returns the stream size as it is during player-start-time. I didn't find a method to update the media duration for "regular" files.
However, I can solve the problem by changing the server side. Instead of accessing a regular file, I convert the file to m3u8 in realtime, using ffmpeg. I then throw the m3u8 URI onto the player and it updates the duration of the stream (while playing) without the need to create any additional code on the client side.
In my current project I have an Audio file which plays all the time. As soon as I click the record button the audio stops. When I disable the microphone it works but I actually want to record my own voice (like a karaoke) This Problem only occurs only on Android.
Is there any hack to fix this Problem?
Just worked on a filter where I had to build a karaoke style gameplay, what I noticed was Spark does not like playing audio AND recording on mic as it probably causes weird artifacting if not implemented properly. It seems like something that will be added line.
Possible fixes to get your filter working for now, add instructions to use the filter with headphones, connecting to an external audio device will let you play audio and record using the mic at the same time. This works on android, not on iOS. You have to give players visual cues to sing along or whatever your objective maybe.
Hope this is sorted out and fixed in the coming updates, really handicaps the kind of experiences possible on the platform.
Hope this helped.
I want to implement screencast feature in my Android app, i.e. Recording the audio and the screen video at the same time and converting it to a .mp4 file.
I got to know that there are some Media Codecs inbuilt in the Android SDK, but the issue with those ones is that I will need to record video and the audio separately and then stitch both of the elements together to create a complete video.
I want to know if a library exists which can directly record both the Audio and Video without the need to stitch them later on.
Thanks in advance!
this project can help you get started here
I am developing an app with Android Studio 2.1 and I would like to record a video of an usage example, with sound.
I have already recorded some videos, but always without sound. As the sound in my app is a key feature, I would like to have the video with the audio output of my app.
Is it possible? In case it is, how could I use it?
Thanks!
Maybe you should try using external app for recording both screen and sound. I have dig in just few mins and i have found some apps.
Here I left link to a top http://www.androidauthority.com/best-screen-recording-apps-600838/
The last one seems to be the one you are looking for (SCR Screen Recorder, which requires root), hope it works!
Other option could be to use a male to male audio cable and record the audio transmitted to the pc.
I am a little miss guided here and it seems i am totally lost. I am developing an android app and its core idea is to develop a video recorder and video player that applies some sound effects on the voice of the people or any sound that it records. Sound effect means that if i make a video of a person who is giving some speech then there should be no effect on video but his/her voice should appear like voice in talking tom cat app. I hope you understand the idea. Similar app is Helium Booth you can check it here. I am trying to use libraries like libSonic, libpd and tried to use XUGGLE too.
Read somewhere that Xuggle is not really developed for mobile devices so left it. Now what i want is that it should apply this effect on voice on the run time i.e while recording the pitch of the sound should be alterd and saved immediately. And what i am getting with these libraries is that i can apply sound effect after video is recorded. So it means i need to rip the audio from the video and then apply the change in pitch and frequency and again concatenate this audio file with the old video file. And i have no idea how to do it.
Please show me the right approach and tools if possible.
