Saifullah Android Audio Recorder
The android multimedia framework provides a built in support for capturing and encoding a variety of common
audio and video formats. We have a multiple ways to record audio or video but by using MediaRecorder class we
can easily implement audio or video recording.

to record an audio we need to use device’s microphone along with MediaRecorder class. In case, if we want to
record video, we need to use device’s camera along with MediaRecorder class.
use MediaRecorder to record audio in android applications.

MediaRecorder recorder = new MediaRecorder();

recorder.setAudioSource(MediaRecorder.AudioSource.MIC);
recorder.setOutputFormat(MediaRecorder.OutputFormat.THREE_GPP);
recorder.setAudioEncoder(MediaRecorder.AudioEncoder.AMR_NB);
recorder.setOutputFile(PATH_NAME);
recorder.prepare();
recorder.start();
recorder.stop();
recorder.reset();   
recorder.release();
