Android :: AudioRecord - OnPeriodicNotification And OnMarkerReached Are Not Called
May 13, 2010
I've seen posts regarding problems with the AudioRecord OnRecordPositionUpdateListener, but I haven't seen any real answers.
I'm using AudioRecord to record from the mic, and I want to get the input from the mic periodically so I can check sound levels and update a meter.
I set up the listener like this:
CODE:...........
What happens is that onMarkerReached gets called once, after the recorder is released, so that's not very useful.
Do I need to change the marker position and notification period? Is the listener working? Is there another way to accomplish periodically getting the mic input?

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 am running into an issue with the way my asynctasks are executed. Here's the problem code:
firstTask = new background().new FirstTask(context);
if(firstTask.execute().get().toString().equals("1"))
secondTask = new background().new SecondTask(context);
What I'm doing here is creating a new asynctask object, assigning it to firstTask and then executing it. I then want to fire off a separate asynctask when the first one is done and making sure it returns a success value (1 in this case). This works perfectly on Android 2.0 and up. However, I am testing with Android 1.5 and problems start popping up. The code above will run the first asynctask but doInBackground() is never called despite onPreExecute() being called. If I am to execute the first task without the get() method, doInBackground() is called and everything works as expected. Except now I do not have a way to determine if the first task completed successfully so that I can tell the second task to execute. Is it safe to assume that this is a bug with asynctask on Android 1.5? Especially since the API says that the get method has been implemented since API 3. Is there any way to fix this? Or another way to determine that the first task has finished?

I'm trying to figure out how to use the AudioRecord class.I created a callback with a logging message, but don't ever see it called.Do you see anything wrong with what I'm doing? Do you have an example of how to use the API?

I want to use AudioRecord and AudioTrack classes(in SDK 1.5) in my program. Where can I find how to use it. Is there any API demo program for this?. If not it is greatly appreciated if someone can post a sample code in this forum.

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 used AudioRecord on emulator and phone. I found that AudioRecord is not working on phone: 1> the min-buffer-size on simulator is much smaller than phone 2> The audio data I read from phone is all zero.

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'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...

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

On the nexus one, my app goes into Audio Record Stanby randomly after 0-40 seconds. I'm using the AudioRecord class, and while the standby is reported in the terminal, the AudioRecord instance reports the same states of RECORDSTATE_RECORDING and STATE_INITIALIZED throughout the entire sequence.
The bottom line is that when this anomaly occurs, audio is not captured. and this is what im working to prevent was only able to reproduce on nexus one android2.1 not g1 android1.6
I have looked extensively through the Android C/C++ libraries such as at this file: http://android.git.kernel.org/?p=platform/hardware/msm7k.git;a=blob_p... and [url]
Most interesting to me, is this line in AudioFlinger: [url]
Specifically the bool AudioFlinger::RecordThread::threadLoop()
As you can see, minput->standby() occurs in 4 different places in the code.

In the Eclipse log I can clearly see a warning pop up (something about buffer overflow) every time I don't read from the AudioRecord buffer fast enough and consequently miss a chunk of audio samples. Is there any way I can detect that notification programatically so I know exactly when I have missed a chunk?

I am new to Android and has been trying to find out if Android 1.5 on HTC magic is able to put system to sleep while collecting audio data through microphone.
What I am trying to accomplish is to continously collecting audio (PCM 16bit at 8K Hz) from microphone as long as possible. I have tested with AudioRecord class and is able to record audio continously for 7 hours before battery running out. 7 hours is good but not enough.
I noticed that during recording, although screen is turned off automatically, the system is never put into sleep mode. I wish sleep mode will allow recording go much longer. I found out by comparing SystemClock.uptimeMillis() and System.currentTimeMillis() before and after recording.
However as I reviewed David Sparks presentation at Google I/O (Google I/O - Mastering the Android Media Framework). David suggested at the end of the presentation that system should be automatically go to sleep mode while AudioRecord is collecting data into the preconfigured buffer(1 M bytes in my example). There are two problems I was facing while trying a simple recording 8k PCM 16bit using buffer of 1 Mbytes.
1. AudioRecord.setPositionNotificationPeriod() or AudioReocrd.setNotificationMarkerPosition() does not seem to work. I wish to periodically wake up to retrieve data by calling AudioRecord.read().
However, I do not get call back at all as I configured. Eventually AudioRecord stopped when record buffer overflowed. Below is the code.
2. With problem 1, I have to call AudioRecord.read() in a while loop from a separate thread. When I read(), the thread will block on the read() until read buffer is filled. During the block, I hope the system may go to sleep mode. My program works and audio data were successfully read but system never went to sleep during the block.
My idea of putting system into sleep while recording audio continously.

Record audio using the native AudioRecord interface? I'm trying to do this on my Neo Freerunner but all I get in logcat is:
I/AudioHardwareALSA( 787): Initialized ALSA CAPTURE device AndroidRecord_Microphone
D/AudioHardwareALSA( 787): Set CAPTURE PCM format to S16_LE (Signed 16 bit Little Endian)
D/AudioHardwareALSA( 787): Using 1 channel for CAPTURE.
D/AudioHardwareALSA( 787): Set CAPTURE sample rate to 8000 HZ
E/AudioFlinger( 787): Error reading audio input
W/AudioRecord( 947): obtainBuffer timed out (is the CPU pegged?) user=00000000, server=00000000
The android::AudioRecord::read() function returns the number of bytes I'm trying to read, but the resulting buffer is filled with zeroes.

I currently use the AudioTrack and AudioRecord classes in Android.I use the pure PCM data but I was wondering what my options are for other codecs?From this page it seems I can only encode and decode using AMR narrowband?The code runs properly but I'm wondering does it actually encode the Audio as AMR_NB and if this is not a proper way to do it?I was getting a buffer overflow when using raw PCM but none have appeared since using the new code with the MediaRecorder.AudioEncoder.AMR_NB used instead of the AudioFormat.PCM

I was reading through app suggestions and someone mentioned an app called mp3 Download that basically functions like limewire, letting you search and download mp3's to your phone. Does anyone know anything about this app and whether it is good or not? Or have suggestions for a similiar app? It had mixed reviews at appbrain and when I searched here it came up with a bunch of other threads.

I've created a simple android game, based on the Lunar Lander sample, and I'm having a problem with handling key events.When the activity starts, the only keys that onKeyDown or onKeyUp get called for are the dpad up/down/left/right keys.Neither the menu, back, or dpad_center keys trigger onKey methods. However, once I've pushed one of the dpad up/down/left/right buttons, pressing the menu, back, or dpad_center keys do trigger these methods. I'm not getting any errors, or any indication of what's going wrong.It's possible that the focus is set wrong - the activity is started from a button on screen, so it could be in touchscreen mode. If that's the case, shouldn't touching the back button get me in to the right focus mode so that I can catch the event?I'm using the emulator from SDK-1.5r3.I have not been able to try this on a real phone yet.
