MP3 Decoding on Android

Question

We\'re implementing a program for Android phones that plays audio streamed from the internet. Here\'s approximately what we do:

1. Download a custom encrypted format

Answer 1

To decrypte an encrypted mp3 file before play it. There are 3 ways:

1,For use MediaPlayer api:

After Android version M:

you can play mp3 data in byte array directly by:

//Read encrypted mp3:
byte[] bytesAudioData =  Utils.readFile(path); // or from a url.

final byte[] bytesAudioDataDecrypted = YourUtils.decryptFileToteArray(bytesAudioData);

                ByteArrayMediaDataSource bds = new ByteArrayMediaDataSource(bytesAudioDataDecrypted) ;
                mediaPlayer.setDataSource(bds);

Before android Version M:

//Read encrypted mp3:
byte[] bytesAudioData =  Utils.readFile(path); // or from a url.

final byte[] bytesAudioDataDecrypted = YourUtils.decryptFileToteArray(bytesAudioData);

 File file =new File(dirofyouraudio.mp3");

                FileOutputStream fos = new FileOutputStream(file);
                fos.write(bytesAudioDataDecrypted);
                Log.d(TAG, "playSound :: file write to temp :: System. nanoTime() ="+System. nanoTime());
                fos.close();

                FileInputStream fis = new FileInputStream(file);
                mediaPlayer.setDataSource(fis.getFD());

2,For AudioTrack api if you use:

  int minBufferSize = AudioTrack.getMinBufferSize(sampleRate,
            AudioFormat.CHANNEL_OUT_MONO,
            AudioFormat.ENCODING_PCM_16BIT);

   AudioTrack track = new AudioTrack(AudioManager.STREAM_MUSIC, sampleRate,
            AudioFormat.CHANNEL_OUT_MONO,
            AudioFormat.ENCODING_PCM_16BIT, minBufferSize,
            AudioTrack.MODE_STREAM);

    int i = 0;
    byte[] tempMinBufferToRead = new byte[minBufferSize];

    try {

        byte[] bytesAudioData = Utils.readFile( lastRecordedAudiofilePath);

        bytesAudioData = yourUtils.decryptYourFileToByteArray(bytesAudioData);

        try {
            fileInputStremForPlay = new FileInputStream( lastRecordedAudiofilePath);

            dataInputStreamForPlay = new DataInputStream(new ByteArrayInputStream(bytesAudioData));

            track.play();
            while ((i = dataInputStreamForPlay.read(tempMinBufferToRead, 0, minBufferSize)) > -1) {
                Log.d(LOG_TAG, "mThreadExitFlag= " + mThreadExitFlag);

                if ((mThreadExitFlag == true) || (!audioFilePathInThisThread.equals(lastRecordedAudiofilePath))) {

                    m_handler.post(new Runnable() {
                        public void run() {
                            Log.d(LOG_TAG, "startPlaying: break and reset play button ");

                            startPlayBtnInToolbar.setEnabled(true);
                            stopPlayBtnInToolbar.setEnabled(false);
                        }
                    });

                    break;
                }

                track.write(tempMinBufferToRead, 0, i);
            }

            Log.d(LOG_TAG, "===== Playing Audio Completed ===== ");
            track.stop();

            track.release();

            dataInputStreamForPlay.close();

            fileInputStremForPlay.close();


        } catch (FileNotFoundException e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        } catch (IOException e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        }

3, Use MediaExtractor , MediaCodec with AudioTrack , you can set datasource with extractor :

            extractor.setDataSource(this.url);

Or

            extractor.setDataSource(this.Mediadatasource);

ps: The ByteArrayMediaDataSource class:

import android.annotation.TargetApi;
import android.media.MediaDataSource;
import android.os.Build;
import java.io.IOException;



import android.content.res.AssetFileDescriptor;
 import android.media.MediaDataSource;
import android.util.Log;
import java.io.FileInputStream;
import java.io.InputStream;
import java.io.IOException;

@TargetApi(Build.VERSION_CODES.M)
public class ByteArrayMediaDataSource extends MediaDataSource {

    private static final String TAG = ByteArrayMediaDataSource.class.getSimpleName();


    private   byte[] data;

    public ByteArrayMediaDataSource(byte []data) {
//        assert data != null;
        this.data = data;
    }
    @Override
    public int readAt(long position, byte[] buffer, int offset, int size) throws IOException {


        if (position >= data.length) {
            return -1; // -1 indicates EOF
        }
        if (position + size > data.length) {
            size -= (position + size) - data.length;
        }

        Log.d(TAG, "MediaDataSource size = "+size);


        System.arraycopy(data, (int)position, buffer, offset, size);
        return size;

    }



    @Override
    public long getSize() throws IOException {

        Log.d(TAG, "MediaDataSource data.length = "+data.length);

        return data.length;
    }

    @Override
    public void close() throws IOException {
        // Nothing to do here
        data =null;
    }
}
