Android check if using intent RECORD_SOUND_ACTION is available on device

Question

I use sound recording using Intents. On one my device RECORD_SOUND_ACTION is not accessible. How can I check if RECORD_SOUND_ACTION is available on device ?

I use this part of code

Intent intent = new Intent(MediaStore.Audio.Media.RECORD_SOUND_ACTION);
startActivityForResult(intent, RQS_RECORDING);

Answer 1

Please try this:

Intent intent =
new Intent(MediaStore.Audio.Media.RECORD_SOUND_ACTION);  
if (isAvailable(getApplicationContext(), intent)) {  
startActivityForResult(intent, RQS_RECORDING);
} 

public static boolean isAvailable(Context ctx, Intent intent) {  

   final PackageManager mgr = ctx.getPackageManager();  

   List<ResolveInfo> list =  
      mgr.queryIntentActivities(intent,   
      PackageManager.MATCH_DEFAULT_ONLY);  

      return list.size() > 0;  

  } 

It works fine for me.
