33+ <p>The Android multimedia framework includes support for capturing and encoding a variety of common
34+ audio formats, so that you can easily integrate audio into your applications. You can record audio
35+ using the {@link android.media.MediaRecorder} APIs if supported by the device hardware.</p>
36+
37+ <p>This document shows you how to write an application that captures audio from a device
38+ microphone, save the audio and play it back.</p>
39+
40+ <p class="note"><strong>Note:</strong> The Android Emulator does not have the ability to capture
41+ audio, but actual devices are likely to provide these capabilities.</p>
42+
43+ <h2 id="audiocapture">Performing Audio Capture</h2>
44+
45+ <p>Audio capture from the device is a bit more complicated than audio and video playback, but still
46+ fairly simple:</p>
47+ <ol>
48+ <li>Create a new instance of {@link android.media.MediaRecorder android.media.MediaRecorder}.</li>
49+ <li>Set the audio source using
50+ {@link android.media.MediaRecorder#setAudioSource MediaRecorder.setAudioSource()}. You will
51+ probably want to use
52+ <code>MediaRecorder.AudioSource.MIC</code>.</li>
53+ <li>Set output file format using
54+ {@link android.media.MediaRecorder#setOutputFormat MediaRecorder.setOutputFormat()}.
55+ </li>
56+ <li>Set output file name using
57+ {@link android.media.MediaRecorder#setOutputFile MediaRecorder.setOutputFile()}.
58+ </li>
59+ <li>Set the audio encoder using
60+ {@link android.media.MediaRecorder#setAudioEncoder MediaRecorder.setAudioEncoder()}.
61+ </li>
62+ <li>Call {@link android.media.MediaRecorder#prepare MediaRecorder.prepare()}
63+ on the MediaRecorder instance.</li>
64+ <li>To start audio capture, call
65+ {@link android.media.MediaRecorder#start MediaRecorder.start()}. </li>
66+ <li>To stop audio capture, call {@link android.media.MediaRecorder#stop MediaRecorder.stop()}.
67+ <li>When you are done with the MediaRecorder instance, call
68+ {@link android.media.MediaRecorder#release MediaRecorder.release()} on it. Calling
69+ {@link android.media.MediaRecorder#release MediaRecorder.release()} is always recommended to
70+ free the resource immediately.</li>
71+ </ol>
72+
73+ <h3 id="example">Example: Record audio and play the recorded audio</h3>
74+ <p>The example class below illustrates how to set up, start and stop audio capture, and to play the
75+ recorded audio file.</p>
76+ <pre>
77+ /*
78+ * The application needs to have the permission to write to external storage
79+ * if the output file is written to the external storage, and also the
80+ * permission to record audio. These permissions must be set in the
81+ * application's AndroidManifest.xml file, with something like:
82+ *
83+ * <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE" />
84+ * <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.RECORD_AUDIO" />
