Video streaming via socket

I need to implement video streaming via sockets in that I have to Record video on server side and Stream it live on client side, I have connected peers via socket successfully but video stream making trouble, I am facing following problems:
I have tested Media Recorder on API level 15 and 18 but not working on higher Android version, it's giving IllegalStateException start failed -38.
Media Player is not working, I have tried ParcelFileDescriptor to get the stream from socket and also tried to save the stream into a file to play on Media Player but I gained no outcome.

I have also used these following code snippet to save the input stream into a file to play on Media Player but it didn't work for me.
File downloadingMediaFile = File.createTempFile("downloading", ".mp4");
FileOutputStream out = new FileOutputStream(downloadingMediaFile);
IOUtils.copy(socket.getInputStream(), out);
mp.setDataSource(out.getFD());
I have tried this code snippet to Record the video stream on Lollipop or Higher API version but it's too didn't work.
ParcelFileDescriptor[] parcelFileDescriptors = new ParcelFileDescriptor[0];
try {
parcelFileDescriptors = ParcelFileDescriptor.createPipe();
} catch (IOException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
ParcelFileDescriptor parcelRead = new
ParcelFileDescriptor(parcelFileDescriptors[0]);
ParcelFileDescriptor parcelWrite = new
ParcelFileDescriptor(parcelFileDescriptors[1]);
mMediarecorder.setOutputFile(parcelWrite.fromSocket(socket).getFileDescriptor());

When I use this
recorder.setAudioSource(MediaRecorder.AudioSource.VOICE_CALL);
I got exception while staring the recoder
Exception : java.lang.RuntimeException: start failed
I have searched on previosly asked asked questions but didnt find any solution
on link Android Media Recording: java.lang.RuntimeException: start failed
it says to use
recorder.setAudioSource(MediaRecorder.AudioSource.MIC); instead of voice call but records outing voice not incoming voice. How can I record incoming voice

An audio source of MIC should record incoming calls. You can set recording volume to the maximum level and turn on loudspeaker too as follows:
//before recording
AudioManager audioManager;
//turn on speaker
audioManager = (AudioManager)context.getSystemService(Context.AUDIO_SERVICE);
audioManager.setSpeakerphoneOn(true);
//increase Volume
audioManager.setStreamVolume(AudioManager.STREAM_VOICE_CALL, audioManager.getStreamMaxVolume(AudioManager.STREAM_VOICE_CALL), 0);
//start recording
recorder.setAudioSource(MediaRecorder.AudioSource.MIC);
recorder.setOutputFormat(MediaRecorder.OutputFormat.THREE_GPP);
recorder.setAudioEncoder(MediaRecorder.AudioEncoder.AAC);
recorder.setAudioEncodingBitRate(320000);
recorder.setAudioSamplingRate(44100);
File audioFile = File.createTempFile("temp", "3gp", path);
recorder.setOutputFile(audioFile.getAbsolutePath());
recorder.prepare();
recorder.start();
Also there are other constants you can use with setAudioSource(), Just follow the guide to understand how each works

But program use in-built microphone. How can i use bluetooth headset audio?
Thanks.

As per android reference AudioManager.startBluetoothSco() start audio connection using startBluetoothSco() and stop android device speaker by using setSpeakerphoneOn(false). First connect your phone to device through bluetooth. Here is example for that.
Add permission "android.permission.MODIFY_AUDIO_SETTINGS" in manifest file.
private BroadcastReceiver mBluetoothScoReceiver = new BroadcastReceiver() {
#Override
public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) {
int state = intent.getIntExtra(AudioManager.EXTRA_SCO_AUDIO_STATE, -1);
System.out.println("ANDROID Audio SCO state: " + state);
if (AudioManager.SCO_AUDIO_STATE_CONNECTED == state) {
/*
* Now the connection has been established to the bluetooth device.
* Record audio or whatever (on another thread).With AudioRecord you can record with an object created like this:
* new AudioRecord(MediaRecorder.AudioSource.MIC, 8000, AudioFormat.CHANNEL_CONFIGURATION_MONO,
* AudioFormat.ENCODING_PCM_16BIT, audioBufferSize);
*
* After finishing, don't forget to unregister this receiver and
* to stop the bluetooth connection with am.stopBluetoothSco();
*/
}
}
};
#Override
protected void onResume() {
super.onResume();
IntentFilter intentFilter = new IntentFilter(AudioManager.ACTION_SCO_AUDIO_STATE_UPDATED);
registerReceiver(mBluetoothScoReceiver, intentFilter);
audioManager = (AudioManager) getApplicationContext().getSystemService(getApplicationContext().AUDIO_SERVICE);
// Start Bluetooth SCO.
audioManager.setMode(audioManager.MODE_NORMAL);
audioManager.setBluetoothScoOn(true);
audioManager.startBluetoothSco();
// Stop Speaker.
audioManager.setSpeakerphoneOn(false);
}
#Override

// Stop Bluetooth SCO.
audioManager.stopBluetoothSco();
audioManager.setMode(audioManager.MODE_NORMAL);
audioManager.setBluetoothScoOn(false);
// Start Speaker.
audioManager.setSpeakerphoneOn(true);
}

To record from bluetooth you have to change the default phone Mic to headset Mic when recording starts this can be done by BluetoothSCO().
private static void startBluetoothRecording(
final OnBluetoothRecording BluetoothRecording,
final boolean resume, Context context) {

if (AudioManager.SCO_AUDIO_STATE_CONNECTED == state) {
// cancel Timer
timer.cancel();
context.unregisterReceiver(this);
// pass through and true because
// recording from bluetooth so set 8000kHz
BluetoothRecording.onStartRecording(resume, true);
} else if (AudioManager.SCO_AUDIO_STATE_DISCONNECTED == state) {

How to email an audio file with the filepath in sdcard?

is there anyway I can send an email when I press the save button with OUTPUT_FILE path from sdcard. (I didn't implement the save button yet)
Should I change String to Uri instead to send an email?
I don't know how I should implement the save button making it to send an email with the audio file attached. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance!

sound waves during recording in android

How to implement sound waves during recording sound in android??
in the below code
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.main);
resultView = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.output);
try {
// the soundfile
File storageDir = new File(Environment
.getExternalStorageDirectory(), "com.hascode.recorders");
storageDir.mkdir();
Log.d(APP_TAG, "Storage directory set to " + storageDir);
outfile = File.createTempFile("hascode", ".3gp", storageDir);
// init recorder
recorder.setAudioSource(MediaRecorder.AudioSource.MIC);
recorder.setOutputFormat(MediaRecorder.OutputFormat.THREE_GPP);
recorder.setAudioEncoder(MediaRecorder.AudioEncoder.AMR_NB);
recorder.setOutputFile(outfile.getAbsolutePath());
// init player
player.setDataSource(outfile.getAbsolutePath());
} catch (IOException e) {
Log.w(APP_TAG, "File not accessible ", e);
} catch (IllegalArgumentException e) {

Do you want to merge your recorded sound with a pre-recorded sound of waves?
If so, maybe you could try to create two sound objects of the different sources. Then you maybe could write to the output file in intervals. One interval for the pre-recorded and one for the fresh one.
I actually don't know if that's even a valid way to do this. Just what my general approach would've been facing this problem.
