Recording using MediaRecord


Introduction to this section

This section is the last section of Android multimedia basic API calls, which brings about the simple use of MediaRecord. The usage is very simple, let’s write an example to get familiar with it~

1. Use MediaRecord to record audio

Implementation code：

Layout code：activity_main.xml：

<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    tools:context=".MainActivity">

    <Button
        android:id="@+id/btn_control"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:text="开始录音" /></RelativeLayout>

MainActivity.java: 

public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity {

    private Button btn_control;
    private boolean isStart = false;
    private MediaRecorder mr = null;
    
    @Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
        btn_control = (Button) findViewById(R.id.btn_control);
        btn_control.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
            @Override
            public void onClick(View v) {
                if(!isStart){
                    startRecord();
                    btn_control.setText("停止录制");
                    isStart = true;
                }else{
                    stopRecord();
                    btn_control.setText("开始录制");
                    isStart = false;
                }
            }
        });
    }


    //开始录制
    private void startRecord(){
        if(mr == null){
            File dir = new File(Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory(),"sounds");
            if(!dir.exists()){
                dir.mkdirs();
            }
            File soundFile = new File(dir,System.currentTimeMillis()+".amr");
            if(!soundFile.exists()){
                try {
                    soundFile.createNewFile();
                } catch (IOException e) {
                    e.printStackTrace();
                }

            }
            mr = new MediaRecorder();
            mr.setAudioSource(MediaRecorder.AudioSource.MIC);  //音频输入源
            mr.setOutputFormat(MediaRecorder.OutputFormat.AMR_WB);   //设置输出格式
            mr.setAudioEncoder(MediaRecorder.AudioEncoder.AMR_WB);   //设置编码格式
            mr.setOutputFile(soundFile.getAbsolutePath());
            try {
                mr.prepare();
                mr.start();  //开始录制
            } catch (IOException e) {
                e.printStackTrace();
            }

        }
    }

    //停止录制，资源释放
    private void stopRecord(){
        if(mr != null){
            mr.stop();
            mr.release();
            mr = null;
        }
    }
}

Finally, don’t forget to add the following permissions in AndroidManifest.xml: 

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE"/>
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.RECORD_AUDIO"/>

Okay, it’s that simple~
