Android has a built in microphone through which you can capture audio and store it , or play it in your
phone. There are many ways to do that but the most common way is through MediaRecorder class.
Android provides MediaRecorder class to record audio or video. In order to use MediaRecorder class
,you will first create an instance of MediaRecorder class. Its syntax is given below.
MediaRecorder myAudioRecorder = new MediaRecorder();
Now you will set the source , output and encoding format and output file. Their syntax is given below.
[Link]([Link]);
[Link]([Link].THREE_GPP);
[Link]([Link].AMR_NB);
[Link](outputFile);
After specifying the audio source and format and its output file, we can then call the two basic methods
prepare and start to start recording the audio.
[Link]();
[Link]();
Apart from these methods , there are other methods listed in the MediaRecorder class that allows you
more control over audio and video recording.
[Link] Method & description
1 setAudioSource()
This method specifies the source of audio to be recorded
2 setVideoSource()
This method specifies the source of video to be recorded
3 setOutputFormat()
This method specifies the audio format in which audio to be stored
4 setAudioEncoder()
This method specifies the audio encoder to be used
5 setOutputFile()
This method configures the path to the file into which the recorded audio is to be stored
6 stop()
This method stops the recording process.
7 release()
This method should be called when the recorder instance is needed.

This example provides demonstration of MediaRecorder class to capture audio and then MediaPlayer
class to play that recorded audio.
To experiment with this example , you need to run this on an actual device.
Steps Description
1 You will use Android studio IDE to create an Android application and name it as
AudioCapture under a package [Link].
2 Modify src/[Link] file to add AudioCapture code
3 Modify layout XML file res/layout/activity_main.xml add any GUI component if required.
4 Modify [Link] to add necessary permissions.
5 Run the application and choose a running android device and install the application on it and
verify the results.
Here is the content of src/[Link]

Let's try to run your application. I assume you have connected your actual Android Mobile device with
your computer. To run the app from Android studio, open one of your project's activity files and click
Run icon from the toolbar. Before starting your application, Android studio will display following
images.
Now by default you will see stop and play button disable. Just press the Record button and your
application will start recording the audio. It will display the following screen.
Now just press stop button and it will save the recorded audio to external sd card. When you click on
stop button , the following screen would appear.
Now just press the play button and and recorded audio will just start playing on the device. The
following message appears when you click on play button.
