Android Audio and Video

Audio and Video Audio/Video quickview Audio playback and record Video playback Handles data from raw resources, files, streams Built-in codecs for a variety of media.

Accessing the platform's media capabilities is fairly straightforward — you do so using the same intents and activities mechanism that the rest of Android uses. Android lets you play audio and video from several types of data sources. You can play audio or video from media files stored in the application's resources (raw resources), from standalone files in the filesystem, or from a data stream arriving over a network connection. To play audio or video from your application, use the MediaPlayer class. The platform also lets you record audio and video, where supported by the mobile device hardware. To record audio or video, use the MediaRecorder class. Note that the emulator doesn't have hardware to capture audio or video, but actual mobile devices are likely to provide these capabilities, accessible through the MediaRecorder class. For a list of media formats for which Android offers built-in support, see the Android Media Formats appendix. Audio and Video Playback Media can be played from anywhere: from a raw resource, from a file from the system, or from an available network (URL). You can play back the audio data only to the standard output device; currently, that is the mobile device speaker or Bluetooth headset. You cannot play sound files in the conversation audio. Playing from a Raw Resource Perhaps the most common thing to want to do is play back media (notably sound) within your own applications. Doing this is easy: Put the sound (or other media resource) file into the res/raw folder of your project, where the Eclipse plugin (or aapt) will find it and make it into a resource that can be referenced from your R class Create an instance of MediaPlayer, referencing that resource using MediaPlayer.create, and then call start() on the instance: MediaPlayer mp = MediaPlayer.create(context, R.raw.sound_file_1); mp.start();To stop playback, call stop(). If you wish to later replay the media, then you must reset() and prepare() the MediaPlayer object before calling start() again. (create() calls prepare() the first time.) To pause playback, call pause(). Resume playback from where you paused with start(). Playing from a File or Stream You can play back media files from the filesystem or a web URL: Create an instance of the MediaPlayer using new Call setDataSource() with a String containing the path (local filesystem or URL) to the file you want to play First prepare() then start() on the instance: MediaPlayer mp = new MediaPlayer(); mp.setDataSource(PATH_TO_FILE); mp.prepare(); mp.start();stop() and pause() work the same as discussed above. Note: It is possible that mp could be null, so good code should null check after the new. Also, IllegalArgumentException and IOException either need to be caught or passed on when using setDataSource(), since the file you are referencing may not exist. Note: If you're passing a URL to an online media file, the file must be capable of progressive download. Playing JET content The Android platform includes a JET engine that lets you add interactive playback of JET audio content in your applications. You can create JET content for interactive playback using the JetCreator authoring application that ships with the SDK. To play and manage JET content from your application, use the JetPlayer class. For a description of JET concepts and instructions on how to use the JetCreator authoring tool, see the JetCreator User Manual. The tool is available fully-featured on the OS X and Windows platforms and the Linux version supports all the content creation features, but not the auditioning of the imported assets. Here's an example of how to set up JET playback from a .jet file stored on the SD card: JetPlayer myJet = JetPlayer.getJetPlayer(); myJet.loadJetFile("/sdcard/level1.jet"); byte segmentId = 0; // queue segment 5, repeat once, use General MIDI, transpose by -1 octave myJet.queueJetSegment(5, -1, 1, -1, 0, segmentId++); // queue segment 2 myJet.queueJetSegment(2, -1, 0, 0, 0, segmentId++); myJet.play();The SDK includes an example application — JetBoy — that shows how to use JetPlayer to create an interactive music soundtrack in your game. It also illustrates how to use JET events to synchronize music and game logic. The application is located at <sdk>/platforms/android-1.5/samples/JetBoy. Audio Capture Audio capture from the device is a bit more complicated than audio/video playback, but still fairly simple: Create a new instance of android.media.MediaRecorder using new Create a new instance of android.content.ContentValues and put in some standard properties like TITLE, TIMESTAMP, and the all important MIME_TYPE Create a file path for the data to go to (you can use android.content.ContentResolver to create an entry in the Content database and get it to assign a path automatically which you can then use) Set the audio source using MediaRecorder.setAudioSource(). You will probably want to use MediaRecorder.AudioSource.MIC Set output file format using MediaRecorder.setOutputFormat() Set the audio encoder using MediaRecorder.setAudioEncoder() Call prepare() on the MediaRecorder instance. To start audio capture, call start(). To stop audio capture, call stop(). When you are done with the MediaRecorder instance, call release() on it. Example: Audio Capture Setup and Start The example below illustrates how to set up, then start audio capture. recorder = new MediaRecorder(); ContentValues values = new ContentValues(3); values.put(MediaStore.MediaColumns.TITLE, SOME_NAME_HERE); values.put(MediaStore.MediaColumns.TIMESTAMP, System.currentTimeMillis()); values.put(MediaStore.MediaColumns.MIME_TYPE, recorder.getMimeContentType()); ContentResolver contentResolver = new ContentResolver(); Uri base = MediaStore.Audio.INTERNAL_CONTENT_URI; Uri newUri = contentResolver.insert(base, values); if (newUri == null) { // need to handle exception here - we were not able to create a new // content entry } String path = contentResolver.getDataFilePath(newUri); // could use setPreviewDisplay() to display a preview to suitable View here recorder.setAudioSource(MediaRecorder.AudioSource.MIC); recorder.setOutputFormat(MediaRecorder.OutputFormat.THREE_GPP); recorder.setAudioEncoder(MediaRecorder.AudioEncoder.AMR_NB); recorder.setOutputFile(path); recorder.prepare(); recorder.start();Stop Recording Based on the example above, here's how you would stop audio capture. recorder.stop(); recorder.release();</sdk>

代码有些乱，看不懂啊， 格式化一下应该比较好。
