Android - How to convert raw data of audio to wav?

I have implemented a feature of recording audio in my android app. My app is working fine on linux. but when i run same app in mac osx and do recording audio, it crashes my app.
private AudioRecordingThread recordingThread;
recordingThread = new AudioRecordingThread(fileName,
new AudioRecordingHandler() {
#Override
public void onFftDataCapture(final byte[] bytes) {
runOnUiThread(new Runnable() {
public void run() {
if (visualizerView != null) {
visualizerView.updateVisualizerFFT(bytes);
}
}
});
}
#Override
public void onRecordSuccess() {
}
#Override
public void onRecordingError() {
runOnUiThread(new Runnable() {
public void run() {
recordStop();
NotificationUtils.showInfoDialog(
ActivityCropImage.this,
"Error in saving");
}
});
}
#Override
public void onRecordSaveError() {
runOnUiThread(new Runnable() {
public void run() {
recordStop();
NotificationUtils.showInfoDialog(
ActivityCropImage.this,
"Error in recording");
}
});
}
});
PcmAudioHelper.convertRawToWav(WavAudioFormat.mono16Bit(SAMPLING_RATE), file_raw, file_wav);
This is the line of code where my app crashed. I have used https://github.com/steelkiwi/AndroidRecording library in my project.

Is it possible to record the voice from Bluetooth headset and play on Android speaker simultaneously?

Is it possible to record the voice from Bluetooth headset and play on Android speaker simultaneously? I finished to record audio from handset device by this code. And I am doing the second step- play this sound in android speaker. Please help me to resolve it. Thank you so much
_audioManager = (AudioManager) getSystemService(Context.AUDIO_SERVICE);
_audioManager.startBluetoothSco();
_recorder = new MediaRecorder();
_recorder.setAudioSource(MediaRecorder.AudioSource.DEFAULT);
_recorder.setOutputFormat(MediaRecorder.OutputFormat.MPEG_4);
_recorder.setAudioEncoder(MediaRecorder.AudioEncoder.AMR_NB);
_recorder.setOutputFile(file.toString());
_recorder.prepare();
_recorder.start();

How to record audio using AudioRecorder in Android

It's creating a .wav file but, when I try to listen to it, it's not opening. I'm getting a "file not supported" error. I've tried to play the file with quite a few media player applications.
NOTE : I have to use AudioRecorder instead of MediaRecorder because my app will be doing another process while recording (displaying an equalizer) .
Here is the list of pages that I've read about this subject:

There are a lot of different ways to go about this. I've tried lots of them but nothing works for me. I've been working on this problem for about 6 hours now so I would appreciate a definitive answer, ideally some sample code.

I wrote a simple (by which you should read, not to professional standards) class to do this yesterday, and it works.
private class Wave {
private final int LONGINT = 4;
private final int SMALLINT = 2;
private final int INTEGER = 4;
private final int ID_STRING_SIZE = 4;
private final int WAV_RIFF_SIZE = LONGINT + ID_STRING_SIZE;
private final int WAV_FMT_SIZE = (4 * SMALLINT) + (INTEGER * 2) + LONGINT + ID_STRING_SIZE;
private final int WAV_DATA_SIZE = ID_STRING_SIZE + LONGINT;
private final int WAV_HDR_SIZE = WAV_RIFF_SIZE + ID_STRING_SIZE + WAV_FMT_SIZE + WAV_DATA_SIZE;
private final short PCM = 1;
private final int SAMPLE_SIZE = 2;
int cursor, nSamples;
byte[] output;
public Wave(int sampleRate, short nChannels, short[] data, int start, int end) {
nSamples = end - start + 1;
cursor = 0;
output = new byte[nSamples * SMALLINT + WAV_HDR_SIZE];
buildHeader(sampleRate, nChannels);
writeData(data, start, end);
}
// ------------------------------------------------------------

public boolean wroteToFile(String filename) {

Hope this helps

PCMAudioHelper solved my problem. I'll modify this answer and explain it but firstly i have to do some tests over this class.

You might find this OMRECORDER helpful for recording .WAV format.
In case if .aac works with you then check out this WhatsappAudioRecorder:
On startRecording button click :
Initialise new thread.
Create file with .aac extension.
Create output stream of file.
Set output
SetListener and execute thread.
OnStopClick :
Interrupt the thread and audio will be saved in file.

I would add this as a comment but I don't yet have enough Stackoverflow rep points...
Opiatefuchs's link takes you to sample code that shows you the exact header formatting necessary to create a .wav file. I've been all over that code myself. Very helpful.

First you need know that wav file has its format -- header. so you can't just write the pure data to the .wav file.
Second the wav file header include the length of file . so you need write the header after recording.
My solution is , user AudioRecorder record the pcm file .
byte[] audiodata = new byte[bufferSizeInBytes];
FileOutputStream fos = null;
int readsize = 0;
try {
fos = new FileOutputStream(pcmFileName, true);
} catch (FileNotFoundException e) {
Log.e("AudioRecorder", e.getMessage());
}
status = Status.STATUS_START;
while (status == Status.STATUS_START && audioRecord != null) {
readsize = audioRecord.read(audiodata, 0, bufferSizeInBytes);
if (AudioRecord.ERROR_INVALID_OPERATION != readsize && fos != null) {
if (readsize > 0 && readsize <= audiodata.length)
fos.write(audiodata, 0, readsize);
} catch (IOException e) {
Log.e("AudioRecorder", e.getMessage());
}
}
}
try {
if (fos != null) {
fos.close();
}
} catch (IOException e) {
Log.e("AudioRecorder", e.getMessage());
}
then convert it to wav file.
byte buffer[] = null;
int TOTAL_SIZE = 0;
File file = new File(pcmPath);
if (!file.exists()) {
return false;
}
TOTAL_SIZE = (int) file.length();
WaveHeader header = new WaveHeader();
header.fileLength = TOTAL_SIZE + (44 - 8);
header.FmtHdrLeth = 16;

header.Channels = 1;
header.FormatTag = 0x0001;

header.BlockAlign = (short) (header.Channels * header.BitsPerSample / 8);
header.AvgBytesPerSec = header.BlockAlign * header.SamplesPerSec;
header.DataHdrLeth = TOTAL_SIZE;
byte[] h = null;
try {
h = header.getHeader();
} catch (IOException e1) {
Log.e("PcmToWav", e1.getMessage());
return false;

AudioRecord with Gain Adjustment not working on Samsung Device

I have written code for recording audio file using AudioRecord and while writing file on SD card i am making two version.
Version 1
Recorded file is saved on SD Card as it is.
Version 2
I am applying Gain feature on recorded file and saving on SD card.
This works awesome on Sony Ericson mobiles.Also audio volume is boost to great extent.
But i am struggling to make it work on Samsung Devices.
when i play recorded file it sound like Talking Tom :P
Initially i thought Samusung device did not like the combinations i have used to create
AudioRecorder.
So i used following approach in which i loop into available configuration and use best configuration to initialize AudioRecord.
public AudioRecord findAudioRecord() {
for (int rate: mSampleRates) {
for (short audioFormat: new short[] {
AudioFormat.ENCODING_PCM_8BIT, AudioFormat.ENCODING_PCM_16BIT
}) {
for (short channelConfig: new short[] {
AudioFormat.CHANNEL_IN_MONO, AudioFormat.CHANNEL_IN_STEREO
}) {
try {
Log.i("vipul", "Attempting rate " + rate + "Hz, bits: " + audioFormat + ", channel: " + channelConfig);
int bufferSize = AudioRecord.getMinBufferSize(rate, channelConfig, audioFormat);
if (bufferSize != AudioRecord.ERROR_BAD_VALUE) {
// check if we can instantiate and have a success
AudioRecord recorder = new AudioRecord(
AudioSource.DEFAULT, rate, channelConfig, audioFormat, bufferSize);
if (recorder.getState() == AudioRecord.STATE_INITIALIZED) return recorder;
}
} catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
}

return null;

I would like to know if i need to add any extra loc to make my AudioRecord comfortable with Samsung Devices.

We're also struggling with audio recording on some Samsung Android Devices. Unfortunately it seems to be very broken, as even different revisions of the same phone model are behaving differently with the same codebase.
Here are my current findings, hoping you find something useful:
1. Broken Initialization:
Unfortunately, the strategy you are using to query for valid recording configurations will fail at least on Samsung Galaxy Young and Ace models running Android 2.3
The problem is that some invalid AudioRecord configurations instead of simply failing, will completely brick the audio capture subsystem if tried. You'll need to reset the phone to recover from this state.
2. Inconsistent Sampling-Rate support along revisions of same phone model
On an older Galaxy Ace Phone, recording # 11025Hz, 16-bit mono will succeed. On newer Ace revisions, this AudioRecord configuration will be accepted as valid, but the resulting recording will be distorted, with a "chipmunk" effect. A very popular guitar tuner app that has hardcoded this sampling rate is failing to give proper tuning readings on these phones precisely because of this problem!
3. Extremely low volume audio capture on some configurations.
In Galaxy Young and Galaxy Ace, recording from the mic or default audio source # 44,100Hz (the supposedly canonical rate where everything should work fine) produces an undistorted, but extremely low-volume recording. I haven't found yet a way to fix this other than software amplification (which is the equivalent of magnifying a very low res image, with the consecuent "jageddnes" of the result).
4. Failure to support the canonical 44,100Hz sampling rate on every audio capture source.
In Galaxy Young and Galaxy Ace, recording from the Camcorder source fails # 44,100Hz. (again, the configuration will be accepted as valid) producing complete garbage. However, recording # 8,000Hz, 16,000Hz and 48,000Hz works fine and produces a recording with very acceptable volume levels. What is frustrating is that according to the Android documentation, 44,100Hz is a sampling rate all devices SHOULD support.
5. OpenSL does not fix any of the problems reported.
Working with the NDK and OpenSL produces the same described results. It seems that the AudioRecorder class is simply wrapping calls to OpenSL, and the problem is either hardware based, or buried at a lower-level tier in the kernel code.
This situation is very unfortunately indeed, as these models are becoming very popular - at least in Mexico.
Good luck - and please report if you had better luck working with these phones.

Audio gain conrol To increase the amplitude of the audio u need to calculate the gain factor and multiply calculated gain factor with every sample captured. The following code does that. P.S. Ignore the unrelated code
