Unable to retrieve AudioTrack pointer for write()

Question

I am trying to implement AudioTrack to retrieve audio in my android device for incoming call from IAX but facing exception after some while .

private void writeBuff(short[] buf) {

    try {

        if (this.track == null) {
            Log.w("IAX2Audio", "write() without an AudioTrack");
            return;
        }

        int written = 0;
        while (written < buf.length) {


            if (this.track != null) {
                int res;

                res = this.track.write(buf, written, buf.length - written);      
                switch (res) {
                case AudioTrack.ERROR_INVALID_OPERATION:
                    Log.e("IAX2Audio", "Invalid write()");
                    return;
                case AudioTrack.ERROR_BAD_VALUE:
                    Log.e("IAX2Audio", "Bad arguments to write()");
                    return;
                }

                written += res;
            }

        }

    } catch (Exception e) {
        e.printStackTrace();
    }

}

And the exception goes here

This is line create exception after somewhile of receiving proper audio, as when I am trying to initiate it again so having exception res = this.track.write(buf, written, buf.length - written);

And this is how I am stoping and releasing my track

public void stopPlay() {
    Log.d("IAX2Audio", "stopPlay()");

    if (this.track == null)
        return;

    if (this.track != null) {
        //this.track.stop();
        //this.track.release();

        if (this.track != null
                && this.track.getState() != AudioTrack.STATE_UNINITIALIZED) {
            if (track.getPlayState() != AudioTrack.PLAYSTATE_STOPPED) {
                track.stop();
                track.release();
            }
        }
    }

    try {
        if (this.playThread != null) {
            final Thread t = this.playThread;
            /* Setting this to null is the signal to the thread to exit. */
            this.playThread = null;
            t.join();
        }
    } catch (final InterruptedException e) {
        e.printStackTrace();
    }

}

It is a simple fix but might be an Android issue, please refer to my fix below

if (track != null && track.getState() != AudioTrack.STATE_UNINITIALIZED) {
    if (track.getPlayState() != AudioTrack.PLAYSTATE_STOPPED) {

        try{
            track.stop();
        }catch (IllegalStateException e)
        {
            e.printStackTrace();
        }

    }

    track.release();     
    am.setMode(AudioManager.MODE_NORMAL); 

    //track.release();
    //track = null;
}

and OnCreate

private AudioManager am;

am = (AudioManager)this.context.getSystemService(Context.AUDIO_SERVICE); 
am.setMode(AudioManager.MODE_NORMAL); 
setVolumeControlStream(AudioManager.STREAM_VOICE_CALL);

And always use AudioTrack in Thread as main thread will also hand your application
