Android :: AudioRecord Class To Analize Raw Pcm Bytes As It Comes In The Mic
May 27, 2010
I am using the AudioRecord class to analize raw pcm bytes as it comes in the mic.
So thats working nicely. Now i need convert the pcm bytes into decibel.
I have a formula that takes sound presure in Pa into db. db = 20 * log10(Pa/ref Pa)
So the question is the bytes i am getting from audiorecorder from the buffer what is it is it amplitude pascal sound pressure or what.
I tried to putting the value into te formula but it comes back with very hight db so i do not think its right

My Android Java Application needs to record audio data into the RAM and process it. This is why I use the class "AudioRecord" and not the "MediaRecorder" (records only to file).
Till now, I used a busy loop polling with "read()" for the audio data. this has been working so far, but it peggs the CPU too much. Between two polls, I put the thread to sleep to avoid 100% CPU usage. However, this is not really a clean solution, since the time of the sleep is not guaranteed and you must subtract a security time in order not to loose audio snippets. This is not CPU optimal. I need as many free CPU cycles as possible for a parallel running thread.
Now I implemented the recording using the "OnRecordPositionUpdateListener". This looks very promising and the right way to do it according the SDK Docs. Everything seems to work (opening the audio device, read()ing the data etc.) but the Listner is never called.
I am working with a real Device, not under the Emulator. The Recording using a Busy Loop basically works (however not satifiying). Only the Callback Listener is never called.
Here is a snippet from my Sourcecode:

I have a 16mb binary file and I want to read bytes without using any loop. like if i want to read 16 byte i can pass 16 to some method(if there is any) and it give me my desired result... right now i am using loop for reading bytes but my application is so huge i am afraid that it do not get slow.

I have a frame of 22 bytes. The frame is the input stream from an accelerometer via bluetooth. The acceleromter readings are a 16 bit number split over two bytes.
When i try to merge the bytes with buffer[1] + buffer[2], rather than adding the bytes, it just puts the results side by side. so 1+2 = 12.
How to combine these two bytes to obtain the original number. (btw the bytes are sent little endian)

An Android app I'm writing involves quite a lot of downloading of content (think podcatcher/RSS).
I would like to be able to give the user an indication of how many bytes they've downloaded, so they can make the decision whether they want to use Wifi or not.
To this end, I have found a way of counting the number of bytes read by the app, by wrapping an InputStream in a simple CountingInputStream.
However, this does not take into consideration basic things like packet headers and HTTP headers. More importantly, it does not take into consideration any compression that content may be encoded with.
So, how many bytes did my application download over the network? I'm not so interested in the number of bytes uploaded, but if know how, don't be shy.
I have gone down a fairly low level approach as I am feeding the input stream into an XML PullParser. I will also be needing to do a similar exercise with dumping bytes (images in this case) straight onto the SD Card.

I have a problem.
1 - From a webservice. NET 2008 (vb), I have a method that returns an array of bytes, the byte array is actually a string "Hola Mundo" ("Hello World" in English) compressed with the Class of System.IO.Compression GZipStream.
2 - The method returns the string "Hola Mundo" compressed, and this is what the webservice returns:
CODE:..............
3 - if I do a test from a windows application from Visual Basic. NET to run this method returns me this string and Unzip with another function I have, it brings me the "Hola Mundo" ....
4 - On Android (Eclipse) and I managed to make the request and bring me the previous string ... but do not know how to decompress and show me "Hola Mundo" ...
5 - I have tried several codes from the web, but none work.

I'm developing an android video uploading app and uploading large amounts of video is a problem, I get different type of exception sometimes (host not resolved, pipe broken), I do a multipart POST but I have a feeling if I upload chunk of bytes one at at time that'll increase upload speed as well as solve connection timeout and these type of problems.

I've tried recording video using MediaRecorder API but the file that gets saved each time is of 0 bytes.
I use the MediaRecorder recorder = new MediaRecorder(); ad then recorder.setVideoSource . . .recorder.prepare() to generate the preview and when the user clicks record, i say recorder.start() but the file recorded is of 0 bytes. And after some time, recorder.stop() -on user click that is.

My application uses AudioTrack in streaming mode and AudioRecord simultaneously.My problem is that I start them at the same time, but I have no guarantee that they will actually start playback ecording in the same timestamp. The reason I need this kind of accuracy is because I use echo cancellation (subtracting audio played to speaker from the recording).My echo canceller doesn't require an exact delay, but the delay introduced between AudioTrack and AudioRecord moves in the range of 250ms (between different runs), and that's too much - each run is different because they start themselves asynchronously. The API doesn't provide me a way to make sure they start in the same time, so I thought about measuring this starting delay somehow and then using it in my calculation.Does anyone have an idea how to do that, utilizing their API or in any other way?

I currently have a Loop back program for testing Audio on Android devices.It uses AudioRecord and AudioTrack to record PCM audio from the Mic and play PCM audio out the earpiece. So as you can see in the creation of the AudioTrack and AudioRecord the Encoding is supplied via the AudioFormat but this only allows 16 bit or 8 bit PCM.I have my own G711 Codec implementation now and I want to be able to encode the audio from the Mic and decode it going into the EarPiece, So I have encode(short lin[], int offset, byte enc[], int frames) and decode(byte enc[], short lin[], int frames) methods but I'm unsure as to how to use them to encode and the decode the audio from the AudioRecord and AudioTrack.

I'm doing a voice recording using AudioRecord class and the main requirement that the frequency must be 16000 Hz. I'm using only emulator in development process for now and met the problem that I can't set frequency more than 8000, otherwise I get bufferSize -2, and can't create instance of AudioRecord with such buffer. Thank you to Szabolcs Vrbos, he told me that this problem is only with emulator and several Samsung phones, device can record with higher frequency.I need a word from Android engineers that I will be able to record voice with 16000 Hz frequency on for instance HTC Hero (Android 1.5)or similar device with os 1.5 or higher.

We have been getting reports of audio recording not working on Samsung Moment phones on 2.1-update1.
int bufferSize = AudioRecord.getMinBufferSize(sampleRate, AudioFormat.CHANNEL_IN_MONO, AudioFormat.ENCODING_PCM_16BIT); this.audioRecord = new AudioRecord(MediaRecorder.AudioSource.MIC, sampleRate, AudioFormat.CHANNEL_IN_MONO, AudioFormat.ENCODING_PCM_16BIT, bufferSize);
generates these logs: I/AudioPolicyManager( 1889): getInput() inputSource 1, samplingRate 16000, format 1, channels 10, acoustics 0 W/AudioHardwareALSA( 1889): openInputStream : mInput already exists!! E/AudioRecord( 2618): Could not get audio input for record source 1 E/AudioRecord-JNI( 2618): Error creating AudioRecord instance: initialization check failed. E/AudioRecord-Java( 2618): [ android.media.AudioRecord ] Error code -20 when initializing native AudioRecord object. I can't find the "mInput already exists". anywhere in the source base, could this perhaps be an error message included by the OEM?

I'm building an android app and I'm currently having trouble retrieving a bitmap from an URL.
Here is the code I'm using :
CODE:..........
Everything works fine when the picture's write but when some bytes are wrong, result gets null. I think it's basically expectable as it's written this in the doc of BitmapFactory.decodeStream :
If the input stream is null, or cannot be used to decode a bitmap, the function returns null. The stream's position will be where ever it was after the encoded data was read.
The problem is, my wrong picture is well interpreted by my web browser and I can do so on iPhone platform.
Is there a way to sort of ignore those wrong pixels? maybe with the option parameter?

I bought iball andi 5li android smart phone a few days back. The configuration of the phone is:
512mb ram
4gb internal
1.2ghz cortex a9 processor
android 4.1.2
Although my device runs almost every app out there (including temple run, subway surfers etc.) but occasionally im facing problems.
Problem occurs after 3-4 days of restarting the phone. When i restart and check the ram usage it says 350 mb (approx) as used and 150mb(approx) as free ram every app runs smoothly but as days pass by gradually the free ram starts decreasing down to 30 mb where all the apps (games and browsers) start crashing with a low memory message. then the conditions get worse after approx 2 hrs free ram is now 0.0 bytes and even the launcher,settings etc crash with a low memory message. The only solution out is to restart the phone.
[used androids before and is quite aware of closing or killing apps but none is working]
Already Tried:
# removing apps from recent list
# stopping apps from Setting>apps>running apps & cached apps as well
# restoring to factory defaults
# used ram freeing apps (no change on ram)

I've been having an issue with using AudioRecord for Android. I've read as much as I can find online about it, but I cannot seem to get a good initialization. I have tried the Android 2.2 emulator, 1.5 emulator and my phone, an HTC Incredible running Froyo. The emulators and my phone fail initialization. I've tried sampling rates of 8000, 11025, and 44100, formats of CHANNEL_IN_MONO/STEREO and CHANNEL_CONFIGURATION_MONO/STEREO, 8bit and 16bit encoding (8 bit makes the getMinBufferSize fail), and Audio Source of MIC and DEFAULT. All result in the variable test becoming 0 after running a get state(failed initialization). It seems from everything I've read that this should correctly initialize the object. I have played around with the multiplier on buflen, to have it range from 512 (the result of the function) to 102400 because I had heard that HTC devices require something above 8192. For testing my problem I made a new, small project that recreates my problem as simply as possible. I pull out the constants needed into local ints then run the constructor and access the getState method for checking if it worked. Code...
