It is easy to record audio in Android. What 7 you need to do is:

1) Create the object 6 for media record class : MediaRecorder recorder = new MediaRecorder();

2) In the emulator, you're 5 unable to store the recorded data in memory, so 4 you have to store it on the SD Card. So, first 3 check for the SD Card availability: then 2 start recording with the following code.

String status = Environment.getExternalStorageState();
if(status.equals("mounted")){
   String path = your path;
}

recorder.setAudioSource(MediaRecorder.AudioSource.MIC);
recorder.setOutputFormat(MediaRecorder.OutputFormat.THREE_GPP);
recorder.setAudioEncoder(MediaRecorder.AudioEncoder.AMR_NB);
recorder.setOutputFile(path);
recorder.prepare();
recorder.start();

3) To 1 stop, override stop method of activity

 recorder.stop();
 recorder.release();

Here is a good tutorial with sample code.

Audio Capture at Android Developer

it 1 includes these steps:

Create a new instance of android.media.MediaRecorder.
Set the audio source using MediaRecorder.setAudioSource(). You will probably want to use MediaRecorder.AudioSource.MIC.
Set output file format using MediaRecorder.setOutputFormat().
Set output file name using MediaRecorder.setOutputFile().
Set the audio encoder using MediaRecorder.setAudioEncoder().
Call MediaRecorder.prepare() on the MediaRecorder instance.
To start audio capture, call MediaRecorder.start().
To stop audio capture, call MediaRecorder.stop().
When you are done with the MediaRecorder instance, call MediaRecorder.release() on it. Calling MediaRecorder.release() is always recommended to free the resource immediately.

Basically, there is no easy way to write 7 audio file as simple WAV file. AudioRecorder produces 6 data in raw Linear PCM format. And Android's 5 API only gives you audio data buffers.

You'll 4 need to create WAV file yourself. What this 3 means for you, is that you need to add all 2 the chunks yourself: RIFF header, FMT and 1 DATA chunks.

I had tried to record the WAV file in android. But 10 somehow, it is only recording the. WAV file 9 in stereo only and you should use the audio 8 recorder with the following parameter

recorder = new AudioRecord(MediaRecorder.AudioSource.MIC,
                        RECORDER_SAMPLERATE, AudioFormat.CHANNEL_IN_MONO,RECORDER_AUDIO_ENCODING, bufferSize);

        recorder.startRecording();

and 7 from the recorder, you need to write all 6 the data into one file and also you need 5 to give header information

then just do

recorder.stopRecording();

but 4 I have just one problem in this is even 3 if I give AudioFormat.CHANNEL_IN_MONO..it 2 still record in stereo format. Hope my answer 1 helps you.
