Implement MIDI with Delphi on Android

I am looking since some time for a way to play MIDI in Delphi XE5 with Android targeted. Several of my questions before were related to this "quest" :-). I have filed two requests to embarcadero: #119422 to add MIDI support to TMediaPlayer and #119423 to add a MIDI framework to Firemonkey, but that did not help. I have succeeded at last. As I know there are some more people who were looking for MIDI on Android I post this question with answer for documentation.

The Android system has an internal MIDI synthesizer. You can access it via the Android NDK. I have described this in an article containing some downloads. This answer is a short description of this article. What you'll see here is a Proof of Concept. It will show how to play MIDI notes on an Android system but needs improvement. Suggestions for improvement are welcome :-)

Use Eclipse to interface with the Java project. I presume you have Delphi XE5 with the Mobile pack, which gives you two things already installed: the Android SDK and NDK. Do not reinstall these by downloading the complete Android SDK from Google. Download and install the Eclipse Android Development Tools (ADT) plugin and follow the installation instructions. This allows you to use the Android SDK/NDK environment already installed by Delphi XE5 (you will find the paths in Delphi, Options | Tools | SDK Manager). In this way Delphi and Eclipse will share the same SDK and NDK.

I used the MIDI library developed by Willam Farmer. He also has the full SoniVox documentation available which I couldn't get elsewhere. His driver comes with a full example (Java) program. I created my own project with and changed the package name to org.drivers.midioutput, so all functions are prefixed by Java_org_drivers_midioutput_MidiDriver_ (see code below).

When you wish to compile the midi.c jus open a command window, and call ndk-build in the project directory. Some error messages are ok. The mips and x86 libraries were not built in my case.

There is one point though you should be aware of: the path to the ndk may not contain spaces. As you let the Delphi installer install Delphi there is bound to be a space in it: the subdirectory Rad Studio in that terrible long file name where Delphi installs the SDK and NDK. In order to work around this problem, create an empty directory on drive C:, call it C:\ndk. Use MKLINK to link this directory to the ndk directory. This can only be done from an elevated command prompt and as you do so you'll lose your network connections. The link is persistent so just close the command prompt and open another, unelevated one, and all should work now. Now you can really use ndk-build.

When the library is built by ndk-build this will prefix the compiled library with lib and replace the extension by .so. So midi.c will compile to libmidi.so. Compiled libraries are added to the download, so you needn't compile midi.c.

MidiDriver.Java declares an interface, an audioTrack and a thread to handle all these. I haven't taken the trouble to find how exactly this works. Because I didn't know how to handle an interface and such in Delphi I created a Java wrapper for MidiDriver: class MIDI_Output. This class is used to interface with Delphi.

Class MidiDriver is the interface between Java and the C-functions that call SoniVox functions. Class MIDI_Output is the interface between Java and Delphi. MIDI_Output creates an instance of MidiDriver.

From MidiDriver and MIDI_Output an Eclipse Android project was created, a MainActivity added and run. After eliminating a lot of bugs I got it up and running. A useful tool is the android debugger (adb). Open a command windows and run adb -d logcat. I have added a lot of log.d ('midi", " *** message') statements in the code in order to see where things went wrong. Remove them if you don't like them, but if you are unknown to Android (which I still am to a great extent) it is a useful way to see what happens in your application. Log works as wel in Delphi, see the Delphi Sources.

When the program compiles well you have a MIDI_Output.apk package in your project\bin directory. This package will be used by Delphi to run the Java methods.

Java can be accessed from Delphi by using JNI. A hands-on tutorial can be found on the site of RedTitan. The ideas of this tutorial were implemented in class TMIDI_Output_Device.

As you may see a constant string test_apk_fn is defined with the path to the MIDI_Output.apk Android package. This string provides JNI with the name where the Java library can be found. The string javaClassName provides the package name necessary to interface with Java. With these string the Delphi JNI is able to find the requested classes.

Delphi now knows where to find the Java classes. In theory it should now be able to find libmidi.so because an Android package is a .zip file containing the necessary files to run the Java package. If you open MIDI_Output.apk with WinZip or WinRar then you see these files. In the archive you'll find a directory lib which contains libmidi.so for the ARM 5 and 7 platforms. When launching the program and having adb -d logcat running in a command window adb says so much as unpacking MIDI_Output.apk. Well, it might do so, but libmidi.so will not be found.

Libmidi.so should be added to the \usr\lib somewhere under the \platforms directory of the Android SDK. The complete link in my case is: C:\Users\Public\Documents\RAD Studio\12.0\PlatformSDKs\android-ndk-r8e\platforms\android-14\arch-arm\usr\lib. This should help as I found out some time ago.

Using the call chain as I have shown here one may call MIDI functions in Delphi generated Android code. There are some questions regarding this technique:

  • Wouldn't it be easier to call the NDK function directly? It is possible to call NDK functions directly from Delphi in the same way as DLL's. However, class MidiDriver adds a lot of functionality which I do not understand at this moment. This functionality must be programmed in C or Pascal when call the NDK functions directly.

  • In the code from Bill Farmer he uses the MediaPlayer to play MIDI files. Alas the MediaPlayer can only be accessed from an Activity and I do not know how to transfer the Delphi MainActivity to a JNI Java function. So this functionality does not work as of yet.

  • Native libraries are packed into the .apk but not unpacked in such a way that the JavaVM detects it. Now the libmidi.so has to be put manually into \usr\lib.

  • Even worse is that a hard link must be added to the .apk package. The package should be deployed automatically to the /data/app-lib of the application, else creating an app with JNI classes and installing it from the Play Store seems impossible.
