I'm using MediaRecoder to record sound, but after I'm done recording it can't be played. I tried with Google Play Music, ES Media Player, even uploaded it to pc and tried opening it with Winamp. Nothing plays it!
//AUDIO RECORDER recorder = new MediaRecorder(); recorder.reset(); recorder.setAudioSource(MediaRecorder.AudioSource.MIC); recorder.setOutputFormat(MediaRecorder.OutputFormat.THREE_GPP); recorder.setAudioEncoder(MediaRecorder.AudioEncoder.AMR_NB); if (Environment.getExternalStorageState().equals(Environment.MEDIA_MOUNTED)) { externalStoragePath = Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory().getAbsolutePath(); externalOutputPath = externalStoragePath + File.separator + "/Android/data/com.whizzappseasyvoicenotepad/test.mp3"; recorder.setOutputFile(externalOutputPath); } else { storagePath = Environment.getDataDirectory().getAbsolutePath(); recorder.setOutputFile(storagePath + "/Android/data/com.whizzappseasyvoicenotepad/test.mp3"); }
Even tried opening it inside the application with button click:
public void testPlay (View v) throws IllegalArgumentException, SecurityException, IllegalStateException, IOException{ mediaPlayer = new MediaPlayer(); mediaPlayer.setDataSource(externalOutputPath); mediaPlayer.prepare(); mediaPlayer.start(); }
But that crashes the application. But that is not the main problem, the main problem is the fact that there's no way I can play the file. Is there something wrong with encoding or something?
I also tried to change it from .mp3 to .3gp and it didn't work. Then I also tried removing .mp3 and .3gp, leaving just 'test' as a name and then it didn't even recognize it as an audio file.
Oh, and if anyone wants the logcat when the application crashes:
07-31 16:51:43.953: E/AndroidRuntime(26918): java.lang.IllegalStateException: Could not execute method of the activity 07-31 16:51:43.953: E/AndroidRuntime(26918): Caused by: java.lang.reflect.InvocationTargetException 07-31 16:51:43.953: E/AndroidRuntime(26918): Caused by: java.io.IOException: setDataSourceFD failed.: status=0x80000000
But again, app crashing isn't the problem at the moment. First I want to solve the problem why the audio file can't be played. But if you have any idea why it crashes I would also appreciate it!
