Answer 1

I use the following code to record audio data (successfully) to my Android's SD Card. My application requires the RECORD_AUDIO permission, but nothing else.

File file = new File (Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory().getAbsolutePath() + FILE_NAME);

if (file.exists())
    file.delete();                                                          //  Delete any previous recording

try
{
    file.createNewFile();                                                   //  Create the new file
}
catch (IOException e)
{
    Log.e (TAG, "Failed to create " + file.toString());
}

try
{
    OutputStream            os  = new FileOutputStream      (file);
    BufferedOutputStream    bos = new BufferedOutputStream  (os, 8000);
    DataOutputStream        dos = new DataOutputStream      (bos);          //  Create a DataOutputStream to write the audio data to the file

    // Create an AudioRecord object to record the audio
    int          bufferSize     = AudioRecord.getMinBufferSize (frequency, channelConfig, Encoding);
    AudioRecord  audioRecord    = new AudioRecord (MediaRecorder.AudioSource.MIC, frequency, channelConfig, Encoding, bufferSize);

    short[] buffer = new short[bufferSize];                                 //  Using "short", because we're using "ENCODING_PCM_16BIT"    
    audioRecord.startRecording();

    while (isRecording)
    {
        int bufferReadResult = audioRecord.read (buffer, 0, bufferSize);
        for (int i = 0; i < bufferReadResult; i++)
            dos.writeShort (buffer[i]);
    }

    audioRecord.stop();
    dos.close();
}
catch (Exception t)
{
    Log.e (TAG, "Recording Failed");
}

It would appear to me that you're missing the getAbsolutePath() call appended to your getExternalStorageDirectory() call (which may have the same result as Marc Bernstein's hard coded solution).
