}

}

Detail : This problem is mainly arrived in android 4.3 when first time exception occur when we again going for prepare and start media recorder. this logic successfully work in 4.0.. i dont understand why this exception occur.

Answer 1

It seems that if device decide to sleep, and GC decide to run, then this will be happen.

See below:

Sometimes (very rarely) the System will decide to Sleep in the middle of the GC run.

If the sleep time was long - over 10 seconds, the concurrent.timeout exception will be thrown.
