I have no intention of making a nuisance of myself, sorry if it seems that way.

All I'm trying to do is use Steve's AudioTrack library to play a file (any file) created by Tomas's AudioRecord library. I really don't care about the file format anymore. I just want to get this working.

Djembefola,

How long (in seconds) of a WAV file can the AudioRecord library record before threading is required?

XverhelstX,

I noticed that the followng are included in the Android documentation for MediaRecorder interface:

setAudioSource
setOutputFormat
setAudioEncoder
setOutputFile
prepare()
start()
stop()
reset() // Missing in the AudioRecorder library
release() // Missing from AudioRecorder library

Also: Is it possible to record uncompressed audio (wav) using AudioRecorder library? Very important, we need to know this.

Thanks!

From Steve's comments about the MediaRecorder class being used in the AudioRecorder library from Tomas, I decided to really dig into what makes this class tick. I'm no Java guy, but I can poke my way around and see waht there is to see.

Here's an interesting and unfortunate discovery I made while digging around in the Android dev forums and dev wikis:

"...MediaRecorder can't be used because it doesn't support either WAV or MP3 formats..."


So far, the AudioRecorder library is good for 2 things:

1. Monitoring MIC level (MaxAmplitude)
2. Recording to 3GP audio files only (will not do any other standard/recognizable format)

And that's that. :sign0010: :BangHead: :sign0148:

What's sad is the B4A strugglers who will have to read this far into this thread to come to this discovery. But at least it's been clarified.

Heads up Steve - Here I come with a bunch of questions about AudioRecord.

Hey Highwinder,

I have updated the library to Version 2.10.
Not many changes has been made, but it should be easier to create the output file. (It does work for me.)

Tomas,

Again, thanks for the update. Think we can get another update out of you to be able to add the Release() and Reset() functions in AudioRecorder?

Java example:

public void stop() {
if (mRecorder != null) {
mRecorder.stop();
mRecorder.Reset();
mRecorder.release();
mRecorder = null;
}
}

This would be incredibly helpful.

Thanks!

Hi,

at first: :sign0098:

I love this library!

I'm not sure if I found a bug:

I start a recording with
B4X: 
AR.MaxDuration = 10000
the recording will stop after ten seconds, but
B4X: 
Log(AR.isRecording)
returns furthermore true (from a timer_tick).

Is it a bug or I'm an idiot and don't know to use this lib... ;-)

Regards,
trebun

Hello, after changing activity the library will allow me to record new sounds.

The thing is was getting some complains (0x1, media not prepared) while trying to play them.

After having a look in media explorer, outside my project, I can see that the file is there, but can't be played, so I imagine somehow it gets corrupted.

I can make new recordings if I don't change activity. Any ideas of what might cause this?

Thanks

Error example "AudioRecorder210.zip"

Hello.

There is a problem with the sample code "AudioRecorder210.zip" since it fails if you try to start the recording on a second occasion.

The sequences I've tried are:
1st: Prepare - Start - Stop - Prepare - Star = Error
2nd: Prepare - Start - Stop - Star = Error

In addition to these sequence've tried several solutions exist via code without.

I could tell how to record and stop several times without error the program.

Thanks and regards.

good timing, but it still doesn't open even with different browsers and unzippers (I've tried Chrome and Firefox, tried Winrar and Windows' Decompressor)
