How to record audio file in Android

Answer 1

It is easy to record audio in Android. What you need to do is:

1) Create the object for media record class : MediaRecorder recorder = new MediaRecorder();

2) In the emulator, you're unable to store the recorded data in memory, so you have to store it on the SD Card. So, first check for the SD Card availability: then start recording with the following code.

String status = Environment.getExternalStorageState(); if(status.equals("mounted")){    String path = your path; }  recorder.setAudioSource(MediaRecorder.AudioSource.MIC); recorder.setOutputFormat(MediaRecorder.OutputFormat.THREE_GPP); recorder.setAudioEncoder(MediaRecorder.AudioEncoder.AMR_NB); recorder.setOutputFile(path); recorder.prepare(); recorder.start(); 

3) To stop, override stop method of activity

 recorder.stop();  recorder.release();
