Measure mic levels?

[tjaleks]

Just downloaded and started to learn Basic4Android a few days ago. Love what I've seen so far. Great product!

I searched, but didn't see an obvious answer to my question. Is there a way to listen to the surrounding sounds via the microphone and measure the audo level? I don't want to record audio. I want to be able to trigger an event when the sound level hits a certain threshold in real time. Any tips or example on how to do so is appreciated.

There are two related libraries which you should check: AudioRecord and AudioRecorder
Libraries - Basic4android Wiki

I'm not deeply familiar with them so I do not know whether you can use them to capture audio level at runtime.
