I would like to know if there is a way to fix the duration of recording using mobile's microphone. Like when I click a button the recording should start and it should stop after 5 seconds on its own, what method do you propose me to use :-)
Edit:
Sorry for the confusion but I am using AudioRecorder class to record data and I don't think the MediaRecorder class function works properly (/at all) for the same.
If you just use a timer, I do not think that you can accurately control how much data is within the buffer when your app reads it.
I think they way to record 5 seconds of audio data is to use the technique from this class.
The code there carefully sets the size of the audio buffer so that it will call back after it has recorded data for a certain amount of time. Here is a snipped from that class.
public boolean startRecordingForTime(int millisecondsPerAudioClip,
int sampleRate, int encoding)
{
float percentOfASecond = (float) millisecondsPerAudioClip / 1000.0f;
int numSamplesRequired = (int) ((float) sampleRate * percentOfASecond);
int bufferSize =
determineCalculatedBufferSize(sampleRate, encoding,
numSamplesRequired);
return doRecording(sampleRate, encoding, bufferSize,
numSamplesRequired, DEFAULT_BUFFER_INCREASE_FACTOR);
}
Then later on your code just does this:
while (continueRecording)
{
int bufferResult = recorder.read(readBuffer, 0, readBufferSize);
//do stuff
}
since readBufferSize is just right, you will get the amount of data you want (with some slight variation)
This is all what you need.
#Override
public void onClick(View view)
{
if (view.getId() == R.id.Record)
{
new Timer().schedule(new TimerTask()
{
#Override
public void run()
{
runOnUiThread(new Runnable()
{
#Override
public void run()
{
mediaRecorder.stop();
mediaRecorder.reset();
mediaRecorder.release();
files.setEnabled(true);
record.setEnabled(true);
stop.setEnabled(false);
}
});
}
}, 5000);
record.setEnabled(false);
files.setEnabled(false);
stop.setEnabled(true);
try
{
File file = new File(Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory(),
"" + new Random().nextInt(50) + ".3gp");
adapter.add(file.getAbsolutePath());
adapter.notifyDataSetChanged();
mediaRecorder = new MediaRecorder();
mediaRecorder.setAudioSource(MediaRecorder.AudioSource.MIC);
mediaRecorder
.setOutputFormat(MediaRecorder.OutputFormat.THREE_GPP);
mediaRecorder
.setAudioEncoder(MediaRecorder.AudioEncoder.AMR_NB);
mediaRecorder.setOutputFile(file.getAbsolutePath());
mediaRecorder.prepare();
mediaRecorder.start();
stop.setEnabled(true);
} catch (IllegalStateException e)
{
e.printStackTrace();
} catch (IOException e)
{
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
Use setMaxDuration from MediaRecorder class.
alternately
When you start recording start a new thread and put it to sleep for 5 seconds. when it wakes stop the recording.
or use a timertask which shall call the stop recording after 5 second delay.

Unable to record audio of Incoming and Outgoing phone call in Android
I am using Broadcastreceiver for detecting Phonecalls, It is working fine.
When ever phonecall is started I am using below code for start recording Phonecall and creating a folder of "CALLLOG", in which each call record will be stored.
public void startRecordingStoreFile(){
String out = new SimpleDateFormat("dd-MM-yyyy_hh-mm-ss").format(new Date());
File sampleDir = new File(Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory(), "/CALLLOG");
if (!sampleDir.exists()) {
sampleDir.mkdirs();
}
String file_name = "Rec_"+out;
try {
audiofile = File.createTempFile(file_name, ".amr", sampleDir);
} catch (IOException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
recorder = new MediaRecorder();
recorder.setAudioSource(MediaRecorder.AudioSource.MIC);
recorder.setOutputFormat(MediaRecorder.OutputFormat.THREE_GPP);
recorder.setAudioEncoder(MediaRecorder.AudioEncoder.AMR_NB);
recorder.setOutputFile(audiofile.getAbsolutePath());
try {
recorder.prepare();
} catch (IllegalStateException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
} catch (IOException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
recorder.start();
recordstarted = true;
}
Below code for stopping the record
public void stopRecording(){
if (recordstarted) {
recorder.stop();
audioManager.setMode(AudioManager.MODE_NORMAL);
recordstarted = false;
}
}
The extension of audio files are ".amr".
Above code is not recording the audio of a phonecall, it is creating a folder of "CALLLOG" and ".amr" files are stored but audio is not recording.I was working on this from 2 days.
For example suppose lets say I am calling to "X" person,
1.MIC is not recording once the "X"(other) person lift the call, until then audio is recording some times,
2.Some times MIC instance is not available as mentioned below solution by Afsar,
I have tried with below code but it doesn't work(Sometimes it works, sometimes not).
I am unable to record audio of Incoming and outgoing calls.Some times it works, sometimes it is not working.
Please help me on this.
Thanks in Advance.
I had the same issue in the past I was trying to record Audio + Video during video call. While device is in call MIC is being used by other processes, so before setting MediaRecorder AudioSource as MIC just check whether MIC instance is available or not. You can test it like that
private boolean validateMicAvailability(){
Boolean available = true;
AudioRecord recorder =
new AudioRecord(MediaRecorder.AudioSource.MIC, 44100,
AudioFormat.CHANNEL_IN_MONO,
AudioFormat.ENCODING_DEFAULT, 44100);
try{
if(recorder.getRecordingState() != AudioRecord.RECORDSTATE_STOPPED ){
available = false;
}
recorder.startRecording();
if(recorder.getRecordingState() != AudioRecord.RECORDSTATE_RECORDING){
recorder.stop();
available = false;
}
recorder.stop();
} finally{
recorder.release();
recorder = null;
}
return available;
}
Simple solution of this problem is to use some CallRecorder Library following is the link.
aykuttasil/CallRecorder check it.
Hey I'm trying to make MediaRecorder record the contents of my screen. It works when I'm making a recording for a first time but when I try to record the screen for a second time it fails. Here is relevant code:
void startRecording(String directory,String filename,MediaProjection mediaProjection) {
this.mediaProjection=mediaProjection;
this.directory=directory;
this.filename=filename;
initRecorder();
prepareRecorder();
virtualDisplay = createVirtualDisplay();
mediaRecorder.start();
}
void stopRecording() {
mediaRecorder.stop();
mediaRecorder.reset();
if (virtualDisplay != null) {
virtualDisplay.release();
}
if (mediaProjection != null) {
mediaProjection.stop();
mediaProjection = null;
}
initRecorder();
prepareRecorder();
}
void setScreen(int screenWidth, int screenHeight, int screenDensity) {
this.screenWidth = screenWidth;
this.screenHeight = screenHeight;
this.screenDensity = screenDensity;
}
void prepareRecorder() {
try {
mediaRecorder.prepare();
} catch (IllegalStateException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
} catch (IOException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
void initRecorder() {
mediaRecorder.setAudioSource(MediaRecorder.AudioSource.MIC);
mediaRecorder.setVideoSource(MediaRecorder.VideoSource.SURFACE);
mediaRecorder.setOutputFormat(MediaRecorder.OutputFormat.MPEG_4);
mediaRecorder.setVideoEncoder(MediaRecorder.VideoEncoder.H264);
mediaRecorder.setAudioEncoder(MediaRecorder.AudioEncoder.AMR_NB);
mediaRecorder.setVideoEncodingBitRate(512 * 1000);
mediaRecorder.setVideoFrameRate(30);
mediaRecorder.setVideoSize(screenWidth, screenHeight);
mediaRecorder.setOutputFile(directory + "/" + filename + ".mp4");
//mediaRecorder.setOutputFile(Environment.getExternalStoragePublicDirectory(Environment.DIRECTORY_MOVIES).getAbsolutePath()+"/vitalij.mp4");
}
So in my activity I create a new instance of this class once then after pressing the button the startRecording method get's invoked. Then user can press stop recording which calls stopRecording method. When app is destroyed i release the mediaRecorder object.
This is the error I get:
Caused by: java.lang.IllegalStateException
at android.media.MediaRecorder.setAudioSource(Native Method)
at com.example.xxx.myapplication.VideoRecorder.initRecorder(VideoRecorder.java:77)
at com.example.xxx.myapplication.VideoRecorder.startRecording(VideoRecorder.java:30)
at com.example.xxx.myapplication.MainActivity.onActivityResult(MainActivity.java:134)
I'm sure that I have the correct permissions set and the first video gets created fine. The problem only occurs when making the recording for a second time.
The issue is that you're executing these two lines of code:
initRecorder();
prepareRecorder();
at the end of your stopRecording() function and again in your startRecording() function.
When you try to call mediaRecorder.setAudioSource in initRecorder() after the audio source has already been set, you get an IllegalStateException because it's in the incorrect state.
If you look at the state diagram on the Android MediaRecorder reference page, you'll see that a MediaRecorder must be in the Initial state to call setAudioSource(), but yours is in the Prepared state after stopRecording() has been called and you try to call setAudioSource() again.
I'm trying to generate midi file and play it on Android. I found android-midi-lib, but there are almost no any documentation about this library. I tried to run example from this lib. It works. But there is delay about 6 seconds before track from my notes start playing. I don't know anything about notes and midi format. Everything is new for me.
Here is my code:
public class MyActivity extends Activity {
private MediaPlayer player = new MediaPlayer();
#Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.main);
MidiTrack tempoTrack = new MidiTrack();
MidiTrack noteTrack = new MidiTrack();
// 2. Add events to the tracks
// 2a. Track 0 is typically the tempo map
Tempo t = new Tempo();
t.setBpm(228);
tempoTrack.insertEvent(t);
// 2b. Track 1 will have some notes in it
for(int i = 0; i < 128; i++) {
int channel = 0, pitch = i, velocity = 100;
NoteOn on = new NoteOn(i*480, channel, pitch, velocity);
NoteOff off = new NoteOff(i*480 + 120, channel, pitch, 0);
noteTrack.insertEvent(on);
noteTrack.insertEvent(off);
}
// It's best not to manually insert EndOfTrack events; MidiTrack will
// call closeTrack() on itself before writing itself to a file
// 3. Create a MidiFile with the tracks we created
ArrayList<MidiTrack> tracks = new ArrayList<MidiTrack>();
tracks.add(tempoTrack);
tracks.add(noteTrack);
MidiFile midi = new MidiFile(MidiFile.DEFAULT_RESOLUTION, tracks);
// 4. Write the MIDI data to a file
File output = new File("/sdcard/example.mid");
try {
midi.writeToFile(output);
} catch(IOException e) {
Log.e(getClass().toString(), e.getMessage(), e);
}
try {
player.setDataSource(output.getAbsolutePath());
player.prepare();
} catch (Exception e) {
Log.e(getClass().toString(), e.getMessage(), e);
}
player.start();
}
#Override
protected void onDestroy() {
player.stop();
player.release();
super.onDestroy();
}
}
I figured out that this delay depends on first param in NoteOn constructor (maybe NoteOff too). I don't understand what is 480 number is. I tried to change this number, and than less this number than shorter delay before track, BUT whole track is shorter to.
Seems like time between notes with 480 value is fine for me, but I don't need a delay before them.
Help me please!
Ok, I figured out what is the problem.
According to this url http://www.phys.unsw.edu.au/jw/notes.html MIDI values for piano for example starts from 21. So if I start cycle from 0, then first 20 values won't play anything.
Now about delay.
The cycle should look like this:
delay = 0;
duration = 480; // ms
for (int i = 21; i < 108; ++i) {
noteTrack.insertNote(chanel, i, velocity, delay, duration);
delay += duration;
}
Delay means at what time note should be played. So if we want to play all notes one by one, we need to set delay as sum of all previous notes duration.
My media player is in a service object of it's own. Here's the create code.
public void onCreate() {
Toast.makeText(this, "My Service Created", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
Log.d(TAG, "onCreate");
player = new MediaPlayer();
try {
player.setDataSource(path);
player.prepare();
} catch (Exception e) {
}
player.setLooping(false); // Set looping
}
It is streaming from online. However, it's pretty choppy 3 minutes later. I want to double buffer this to help remove that. Any ideas on how I should do this?
Have you looked at the android Double Buffer class?
I am trying to run the audio recording http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/media/index.html, Its working fine, what I need is to show max amplitude while recording voice continuously. What is the best approach for that.
Max amplitude gives max amplitude of the given sample, so I taken sample for every 250 milli seconds and calculated max amplitude
public void run() {
int i = 0;
while(i == 0) {
Message msg = mHandler.obtainMessage();
Bundle b = new Bundle();
try {
sleep(250);
} catch (InterruptedException e) {
// TODO Auto-generated catch block
e.printStackTrace();
}
if (mRecorder != null) {
amplitude = mRecorder.getMaxAmplitude();
b.putLong("currentTime", amplitude);
Log.i("AMPLITUDE", new Integer(amplitude).toString());
} else {
b.putLong("currentTime", 0);
}
msg.setData(b);
mHandler.sendMessage(msg);
}
}
I used message handlers to modify front end using background process thread
Create a thread which runs all the time.
In the thread do this:
int amp = mrec.getMaxAmplitude();
if (amp > 0)
yourcode;
Do you need more information on the thread?
