How to find length of a 2D byte array and to how use that 2D byte array in ByteArrayInputStream


Firstly, in the following code what I am trying to do is find the length of a 2D byte array by using 'byteBuffer[0].length', but it is actually not working. When I am printing 'byteBuffer[0].length' it is giving the output as 4 instead of 882000, which (latter) should be the correct output according to the parameters I had passed. So how do I iterate it in my loop?

Secondly, I want to pass 'byteBuffer' in 'ByteArrayInputStream', but in 'ByteArrayInputStream' we cannot pass a 2D array. So is there a way of appending the values and use it there? And I also need to pass the values of 'Frequency1' and 'Frequency2' alternatively and save them in .wav format, so that I can play them accordingly in my media player. For example: an Ambulance's siren.

import java.io.ByteArrayInputStream;
import java.io.ByteArrayOutputStream;
import java.io.File;
import java.io.IOException;
import java.util.Scanner;
import javax.sound.sampled.AudioFileFormat;
import javax.sound.sampled.AudioFormat;
import javax.sound.sampled.AudioInputStream;
import javax.sound.sampled.AudioSystem;

public class AudioPlay {

public static void main(String[] args) throws IOException {

    Scanner in = new Scanner(System.in);
    final double SAMPLING_RATE = 44100;             // Audio sampling rate
    int time = in.nextInt();                        //Time specified by user in seconds
    int frequency1 = in.nextInt();                  //Frequency specified by the user in hz
    int frequency2 = in.nextInt();

    //Size of buffer, in case time is 10 seconds it will be [2][441000]
    float buffer[][] = new float[2][(int) (time * SAMPLING_RATE)];   

    for (int sample = 0; sample < buffer[0].length; sample++) {
        double cycle = sample / SAMPLING_RATE;                  //Fraction of cycle between samples
        buffer[0][sample] = (float) (Math.sin(2 * Math.PI * frequency1 * cycle));   //Storing value at every index of 1st row
        buffer[1][sample] = (float) (Math.sin(2 * Math.PI * frequency2 * cycle));   //Storing value at every index of 2nd row
    }

    //Size of byteBuffer, in case time is 10sec it will be [2][882000]
    byte byteBuffer[][] = new byte[2][(int)(buffer.length * 2)];
    System.out.println(byteBuffer[0].length);      // Giving wrong output

    int count = 0;

    for (int j = 0; j < byteBuffer.length; j++) {
        for (int i = 0; i < byteBuffer[0].length; i++) {
            final int x = (int) ((buffer[j][count++]) * Short.MAX_VALUE);
            byteBuffer[j][i++] = (byte) x;
            byteBuffer[j][i] = (byte) (x / 256);       //Total Value of Byte
        }
    }
    File out = new File("E:/RecordAudio7.wav"); //The path where user want the file data to be written

    //Construct an audio format, using 44100hz sampling rate, 16 bit samples, mono, and big 
    // endian byte ordering
    AudioFormat format = new AudioFormat((float) SAMPLING_RATE, 16, 1, true, false);

    // It uses bytebuffer as its buffer array that contains bytes that may be read from the stream.
    ByteArrayInputStream bais = new ByteArrayInputStream(byteBuffer[0]);

    //Constructs an audio input stream that has the requested format and length in sample frames, using audio data 
    //from the specified input stream.
    AudioInputStream audioInputStream = new AudioInputStream(bais, format, buffer.length);

    //Writes a stream of bytes representing an audio file of the specified file type to the external file provided.
    AudioSystem.write(audioInputStream, AudioFileFormat.Type.WAVE, out);

    audioInputStream.close();       //Closes this audio input stream
}

}


Solution

  • I figured out the answer for the first part of my question. There was just a minor change in the code:

    byte byteBuffer[][] = new byte[2][(int)(buffer[0].length * 2)];
    

    instead of

     byte byteBuffer[][] = new byte[2][(int)(buffer.length * 2)];
