I am coding a call recording feature using MIC as audio source, as VOICE_CALL is not allowed in some devices. Below is my code.
But sometimes this code crashes with Null pointer exception and sometimes does not stop the media-recorder I mean recording goes on after the call also.
Broadcast receiver registered as phone-state listener....
Any help would be appreciated. You can find my code below.
import java.io.File;
import java.io.IOException;
import java.util.Calendar;
import android.content.BroadcastReceiver;
import android.content.Context;
import android.content.Intent;
import android.media.MediaRecorder;
import android.os.Environment;
import android.telephony.TelephonyManager;
import android.widget.Toast;
public class TestingCallmonitor extends BroadcastReceiver{
private MediaRecorder mediaRecorder=null;
boolean flag=false;
@Override
public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) {
String action = intent.getAction();
if(action.equalsIgnoreCase("android.intent.action.PHONE_STATE"))
{
if (intent.getStringExtra(TelephonyManager.EXTRA_STATE).equals(TelephonyManager.EXTRA_STATE_RINGING))
{
//Toast.makeText(context, "ringing", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
}
if (intent.getStringExtra(TelephonyManager.EXTRA_STATE).equals(TelephonyManager.EXTRA_STATE_IDLE))
{
if(flag) {
mediaRecorder.stop();
mediaRecorder.release();
mediaRecorder=null;
}
flag=false;
}
if (intent.getStringExtra(TelephonyManager.EXTRA_STATE).equals(TelephonyManager.EXTRA_STATE_OFFHOOK))
{
flag=true;
Calendar c=Calendar.getInstance();
int hour=c.get(Calendar.HOUR);
int min=c.get(Calendar.MINUTE);
int sec=c.get(Calendar.SECOND);
//Toast.makeText(context, "started", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
File folder = new File(Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory() + "/Callrecord");
if (!folder.exists()) {
folder.mkdir();
}
String mFileName = Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory().getAbsolutePath();
mFileName += "/Callrecord/call"+hour+"-"+min+"-"+sec+".3gp";
mediaRecorder=new MediaRecorder();
mediaRecorder.setAudioSource(MediaRecorder.AudioSource.MIC);
mediaRecorder.setOutputFormat(MediaRecorder.OutputFormat.MPEG_4);
mediaRecorder.setAudioEncoder(MediaRecorder.AudioEncoder.AMR_NB);
//mediaRecorder.setAudioEncoder(MediaRecorder.getAudioSourceMax());
mediaRecorder.setAudioSamplingRate(44100);
mediaRecorder.setAudioEncodingBitRate(16);
mediaRecorder.setOutputFile(mFileName);
try{mediaRecorder.prepare();}catch(IOException e){Toast.makeText(context, e.toString(), Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();}
mediaRecorder.start();
}
}
}
}
here i added the call recorder sample source code for. Please try and let me know.
