I'm working on an Android program that needs to playback audio files repeatedly with very exact timing (music program).
I'm using an "AudioTrack" right now that has the PCM data loaded in from a WAV sample.
here is the code im testing this feature out with. it just loops until its time to play the sample, then plays it, and repeats this 8 times.
Here is the code that I am using, let me know if you need to see more:
class Sequencer {
private final double BPM = 120;
private final double BPMS = (BPM / 60 / 1000);
private long QUARTER_NOTE_DELAY = (long)(1/BPMS);
private final int PCM_BYTE_OFFSET = 44;
private long lastTick;
private long now = 0;
private int sampleRate = 8000;
private int channelConfig = AudioFormat.CHANNEL_CONFIGURATION_STEREO;
private int audioFormat = AudioFormat.ENCODING_PCM_16BIT;
private int bufferSize = AudioTrack.getMinBufferSize(sampleRate, channelConfig, audioFormat)*5;
private AudioTrack playbackBuffer = new AudioTrack(AudioManager.STREAM_MUSIC,sampleRate,
channelConfig,audioFormat,bufferSize,AudioTrack.MODE_STATIC);;
private byte[] pcmArray;
public Sequencer()
{
Log.d("AudioTrack", "BUFFER SIZE: " +bufferSize);
String path = "samples/classical_guitar_c5_16bit.wav";
try {
pcmArray = parsePCMData(path);
} catch (IOException e) {
// TODO Auto-generated catch block
Log.e("Error Initializng Sequencer", "File not Found: " + path );
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
public void play() {
new Thread() {
public void run() {
lastTick = 0;
// play 10 times
Log.d("Sequencer", "QUARTER-NOTE = " + QUARTER_NOTE_DELAY + "ms");
for (int i = 0; i < 8; i++)
{
lastTick = System.currentTimeMillis();
while (!update(i));
}
playbackBuffer.flush();
}
}.start();
}
public void stop() {
}
//load PCM data into the buffer
private void loadPCMData(byte[] pcmData)
{
int numBytesWritten = playbackBuffer.write(pcmData, PCM_BYTE_OFFSET, (pcmData.length-PCM_BYTE_OFFSET));
Log.d("AudioTrack", "LOADED " + numBytesWritten + " BYTES" + " IN " + (System.currentTimeMillis()- now) + "ms!");
}
private byte[] parsePCMData(String path) throws IOException
{
InputStream fileIn = assetManager.open(path);
BufferedInputStream buffIn = new BufferedInputStream(fileIn, 8000);
DataInputStream dataIn = new DataInputStream(buffIn);
byte[] pcmArray;
ArrayList<Byte> pcmVector = new ArrayList<Byte>();
int numBytes;
//Read the file into the "music" array
for(int i=0; dataIn.available() > 0; i++)
{
pcmVector.add(dataIn.readByte());
}
//Close the input streams
dataIn.close();
buffIn.close();
fileIn.close();
numBytes = pcmVector.size();
pcmArray = new byte[numBytes];
//Copy the data from the arrayLast to the byte array
for(int i=0; i<numBytes; i++)
{
pcmArray[i] = (Byte) pcmVector.get(i);
}
return pcmArray;
}
//Start Playback of PCM data
private void startPlayback()
{
//stop playback
if(playbackBuffer.getState() != AudioTrack.STATE_NO_STATIC_DATA)
{
playbackBuffer.stop();
playbackBuffer.flush();
}
//start loading the next batch of sounds
loadPCMData(pcmArray);
//reset head position
playbackBuffer.setPlaybackHeadPosition(0);
//playbacksounds
playbackBuffer.play();
}
private boolean update(int i) {
now = System.currentTimeMillis();
if (now - lastTick >= QUARTER_NOTE_DELAY) {
//start Sounds
Log.d("AudioTrack: ", "Starting Playback. Current State: " + Integer.toString(playbackBuffer.getState()));
startPlayback();
Log.d("AudioTrack: ", "Playback Started. Current State: " + Integer.toString(playbackBuffer.getState()));
Log.d("MainMenu.java: ", "Event Triggered after " + Long.toString(now-lastTick) +"ms");
lastTick = now;
//update UI in a seperate thread
beatCounter.post(updateUI);
return true;
}
else{
return false;
}
}
}
It plays perfectly on the first of the eight loops, but after that there is just silence, no visible errors or warnings. (although the state will remain at 1 which is " STATE_INITIALIZED" meaning "State of an AudioTrack that is ready to be used."
I am aware that AudioTrack has a looping feature, as well as the "reloadStaticData" method, but when I start writing the actual app I am testing this out for the data will change each time based on a sequence generated by the user)
In addition, i initially tried doing this with both mediaplayer and soundpool but both gave me too much latency.
As a test i also tried it with re-initializing the AudioTrack entirely every loop through but that gave me too much latency to be really useful.
I apologize for the messy code, I really hope its just something stupid i'm doing wrong, as i'm getting very frustrated.
Thanks!
testing on Android 2.2.2, on a handset device (not emulated)

Maybe you should try to use streamming mode of AudioTrack instead of static one.
