I found this android code to record the user sound when he/she starts to speak and stop recording when he/she stops. But the problem is that the recording stops very quickly. If one wants to say two words, it just records the first.
How can the following code be changed to make the recording process less sensitive to momentary silence?
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);

int RECORDER_AUDIO_ENCODING = AudioFormat.ENCODING_PCM_16BIT;
// Get the minimum buffer size required for the successful creation of
// an AudioRecord object.
int bufferSizeInBytes = AudioRecord
.getMinBufferSize(RECORDER_SAMPLERATE, RECORDER_CHANNELS,
RECORDER_AUDIO_ENCODING);
// Initialize Audio Recorder.
AudioRecord audioRecorder = new AudioRecord(
MediaRecorder.AudioSource.MIC, RECORDER_SAMPLERATE,
RECORDER_CHANNELS, RECORDER_AUDIO_ENCODING, bufferSizeInBytes);
// Start Recording.
audioRecorder.startRecording();
int numberOfReadBytes = 0;
byte audioBuffer[] = new byte[bufferSizeInBytes];
boolean recording = false;
float tempFloatBuffer[] = new float[3];
int tempIndex = 0;
int totalReadBytes = 0;
byte totalByteBuffer[] = new byte[60 * 44100 * 2];
// While data come from microphone.
while (true) {
float totalAbsValue = 0.0f;
short sample = 0;
numberOfReadBytes = audioRecorder.read(audioBuffer, 0,
bufferSizeInBytes);
// Analyze Sound.
for (int i = 0; i < bufferSizeInBytes; i += 2) {
sample = (short) ((audioBuffer[i]) | audioBuffer[i + 1] << 8);
totalAbsValue += Math.abs(sample) / (numberOfReadBytes / 2);
}
// Analyze temp buffer.
tempFloatBuffer[tempIndex % 3] = totalAbsValue;
float temp = 0.0f;

I don't like the way you wrote your code. Use mine. You can change the threshold variable according to your voice volume. In this sample app there is no button. When you launch the app, it starts to listen, when you press back button, the aquisition is stopped and the file is stored on phone memory, folder AudioRecorder, with a new file each time you run it. read even comments and commented code. Note: the voice is appended to a temporary file each time the voice exceeds the threshold. The wav header is added when you manually stop the recording by pressing back (the wav file is created from the temporary file, with a new unique name) . If you need to create a new file each time the voice is revealed, you can easily modify it according to your needs, but you should always pass through temporary file saving. If you need a sort of delay, in order to record more, even when there is no voice (after the voice), just continue to save the data while your delay is elapsed. You can create the delay, counting the elapsed time (System.nanotime) since last found Peak (indicating voice presence).
Don't forget to mark the accepted solution (i tested it).

For those who didn't find an answer yet.It is possible to detect the silence and stop recording when the user hasn't spoken for some seconds.
In order to calculate if the user has stopped speaking we can take the data from the last second of the recording, map it to a number and compare this number to the numbers obtained previously. Were turn a confidence score (0-INF) of a longer pause having occurred in the speech input.
Follow this link everything is explained there. https://github.com/Kaljurand/speechutils/blob/master/app/src/main/java/ee/ioc/phon/android/speechutils/AbstractAudioRecorder.java thanks to Kaljurand and his wonderful code.
