Android Question How to release audiostreamer?

[dreamworld]

When audiostreamer is initialized, mediarecorder is unable to start, because audiostreamer is using the record device. Unfortunately, audiostreamer does not provide us a method to release resources. Erel, did you forget to add Release method to audiostreamer? This method is very important.

Please do not "bump" questions. You should call StopRecording or StopPlaying.

 

[dreamworld]

StopRecording can not release resource occupied by audiostreamer.

 

[Erel]

Which resource? Which error do you get?

 

[dreamworld]

mediarecorder can't start

See the example here: http://www.b4x.com/android/forum/threads/audio-library-v1-5-new-audiostreamer-object.30550/
You can start the recording, stop it and then do it again (any number of times).

I have read that.
The recording of Audiostreamer and Mediarecorder happen on the same activity.
if Audiostreamer is initialized to record sound in the first, mediarecorder will be unable to start().
Audiostreamer is conflicting with mediarecorder.
It seems that something is occupied by Audiostreamer and Mediarecorder is unable to start.
If there is a method to release that resource occupied by Audiostreamer, Mediarecorder can work.

Why do you use both libraries together?
You can use AudioStreamer to record and play.

 

[dreamworld]

Because my app allows users to choose sound quality. WAVE or AMR

 

[Erel]

Try this code:

Sub ReleaseAudioStreamer
 Dim r As Reflector
 r.Target = AudioStreamer1
 r.Target = r.GetField("audioRecord")
 r.RunMethod("release")
End Sub

You will need to initialize AudioStreamer again before you can use it.

What is the varient for the audiostreamer to be released?

I'm getting a nullpointer exeption on the release command when using this example.


or is it enough to use the stopplaying command?

You don't need to call this method unless you are using two audio capture libraries in the same app.
