Pause function in Audio Recorder

I want to implement pause and resume functionality to my Audio Recorder. I know I cant use MediaRecorder to do this.
So please give me the source code of a class which can join two AAC audio file.

MediaRecorder added pause functionality from API level 24. If your minSdkVersion is less than 24, you can use the code below. It is extracted from this page. It generates a wave file in the given name after the recording is stopped.

Audio recording in android with particular time interval

I have two method in my activity one is setOnClickListener() and other is setOnLongClickListener()
For the same button which used to start audio recording.
Now i don't know how to use condition, if i use setOnClickListener() then recording should start for 1 minute and stop automatically, and if i use setOnLongClickListener() then recording start for 2 minute and then stop automatically.
buttonStart.setOnLongClickListener(new OnLongClickListener() {
#Override
public boolean onLongClick(View v) {
Toast.makeText(Record_Audio.this,
"Start Recording With LongClick", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT)
.show();
enableButtons(true);
startRecording();
return true;
}
});
private View.OnClickListener btnClick = new View.OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(View v) {
switch (v.getId()) {
case R.id.btnStart: {
Toast.makeText(Record_Audio.this, "Start Recording",
Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
enableButtons(true);
startRecording();
break;
}
}
});
private void startRecording() {
displayAlertDialog();
}
private void displayAlertDialog() {
AlertDialog.Builder alertDialog = new AlertDialog.Builder(
Record_Audio.this);
alertDialog.setTitle("Would you Like to save your Recording");
alertDialog.setMessage("Enter Audio Name");
alertDialog.setIcon(R.drawable.save_icon);
final EditText editTextAudioName = new EditText(Record_Audio.this);
RelativeLayout.LayoutParams lp = new RelativeLayout.LayoutParams(
RelativeLayout.LayoutParams.MATCH_PARENT,
RelativeLayout.LayoutParams.MATCH_PARENT);
editTextAudioName.setLayoutParams(lp);
alertDialog.setView(editTextAudioName);
alertDialog.setPositiveButton("Save",
new DialogInterface.OnClickListener() {
public void onClick(DialogInterface dialog, int which) {
Code.audioName = editTextAudioName.getText().toString()
.trim();
recorder = new MediaRecorder();
recorder.setAudioSource(MediaRecorder.AudioSource.MIC);
recorder.setOutputFormat(output_formats[currentFormat]);
recorder.setAudioEncoder(MediaRecorder.AudioEncoder.AMR_NB);
recorder.setOutputFile(getFilename());
recorder.setOnErrorListener(errorListener);
recorder.setOnInfoListener(infoListener);
try {
recorder.prepare();
recorder.start();
} catch (IllegalStateException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
} catch (IOException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
myChronometer.setBase(SystemClock.elapsedRealtime());
myChronometer.start();
}
});
alertDialog.setNegativeButton("Cancel",
new DialogInterface.OnClickListener() {
public void onClick(DialogInterface dialog, int which) {
// Write your code here to execute after dialog
dialog.cancel();
}
});
alertDialog.show();
}
I know i have to use setMaxDuration for particular time interval, but i don't know how to use with this two method.
Thanks in advance.

Start and stop the record
MainActivity

taukyrecorder.stopRecording();
If you want stop automatically after few second please create one thread.
public class StopRecord extends Thread {

super.run();
handler.post(new Runnable() {
#Override

Then call the thread using handler
Handker mhandler=new Handeler;
mhandler.postDelayed(mRunnable, 1000);//put your secodn here

Recording .Wav with Android AudioRecorder

I have read a lot of pages about Android's AudioRecorder. You can see a list of them below the question.
I'm trying to record audio with AudioRecorder, but it's not working well.
public class MainActivity extends Activity {
AudioRecord ar = null;
int buffsize = 0;
int blockSize = 256;
boolean isRecording = false;

ar = new AudioRecord(MediaRecorder.AudioSource.MIC, 44100, AudioFormat.CHANNEL_IN_MONO, AudioFormat.ENCODING_PCM_16BIT, buffsize);
ar.startRecording();
isRecording = true;
recordingThread = new Thread(new Runnable() {
public void run() {
writeAudioDataToFile();
}
}, "AudioRecorder Thread");
recordingThread.start();
}
public void durdur(View v)
{
// When click to STOP
ar.stop();
isRecording = false;
}

} catch (FileNotFoundException e) {

}
while (isRecording) {

Log.d("eray","Short wirting to file" + sData.toString());
try {
// // writes the data to file from buffer
// // stores the voice buffer
byte bData[] = short2byte(sData);
os.write(bData, 0, buffsize);
} catch (IOException e) {

} catch (IOException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
private byte[] short2byte(short[] sData) {
int shortArrsize = sData.length;
byte[] bytes = new byte[shortArrsize * 2];
for (int i = 0; i < shortArrsize; i++) {

}
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.

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.
Here is full gist of for reference :

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();

header.fileLength = TOTAL_SIZE + (44 - 8);

header.AvgBytesPerSec = header.BlockAlign * header.SamplesPerSec;
header.DataHdrLeth = TOTAL_SIZE;

Are you testing this with the emulator, or on an actual device (if so, which device)? The acoustic tuning (which includes gain control, noise reduction, etc) will be specific to a given platform and product, and is not something you can change.
Jellybean includes APIs to let applications apply certain acoustic filters on recordings, and a noise suppressor is one of those. However, by using that API you're limiting your app to only function correctly on devices running Jellybean or later (and not even all of those devices might actually implement this functionality).
Another possibility would be to include a noise suppressor in your app. I think e.g. Speex includes noise supressing functionality, but it's geared towards low-bitrate speech encoding.

If you want to NoiseSuppressor then you can use this:
// The following would take effect only on Jelly Bean and higher.
if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.JELLY_BEAN) {
Log.i("Trying to clean up audio because running on SDK " + Build.VERSION.SDK_INT);
if (noise && NoiseSuppressor.create(getAudioSessionId()) == null) {
Log.i("NoiseSuppressor not present :(");
} else {
Log.i("NoiseSuppressor enabled!");
}
if (gain && AutomaticGainControl.create(getAudioSessionId()) == null) {
Log.i("AutomaticGainControl not present :(");
} else {
Log.i("AutomaticGainControl enabled!");
}
if (echo && AcousticEchoCanceler.create(getAudioSessionId()) == null) {
Log.i("AcousticEchoCanceler not present :(");
} else {
Log.i("AcousticEchoCanceler enabled!");
}
}
This code can remove background noise , echo and gain.

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
