AudioRecord not enough memory for AudioTrack
I am trying to build an Android application that records X number of seconds and saves the file in .wav format
The problem is that if I input more than 47 seconds ( 48 and above) I get the following errors:
11-29 10:58:39.315 399-1548/? V/audio_hw_primary: disable_audio_route: exit

Answer
private void initial() {
mRecorder = new MediaRecorder();
File captureDir = new File(FileUtil.getDirpath(), "Audio");
if (!captureDir.exists()){
captureDir.mkdir();
}
String filename = getCharacterAndNumber() + ".amr";
File file = new File(captureDir, filename);
mRecorder.setAudioSource(MediaRecorder.AudioSource.MIC);
mRecorder.setOutputFormat(MediaRecorder.OutputFormat.RAW_AMR);
mRecorder.setAudioEncoder(MediaRecorder.AudioEncoder.AMR_NB);
mRecorder.setOutputFile(file.getAbsolutePath());
mAudioPath.add(file.getAbsolutePath());
}
public void startRecorder() {
initial();
try {
mRecorder.prepare();
} catch (IOException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
mRecorder.start();
}
public void stopRecorder() {
if (mRecorder != null) {
mRecorder.stop();
mRecorder.release();
}
mRecorder = null;
}
private String getCharacterAndNumber() {
String rel = "";
SimpleDateFormat formatter = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyyMMddHHmmss");
Date curDate = new Date(System.currentTimeMillis());
rel = formatter.format(curDate);
return rel;
}
I`ve usually used this way in my project, were you call prepare() or release() in the lifecycle;
