Can I store a sound file which is recorded by "MediaStore.Audio.Media.RECORD_SOUND_ACTION" in .wav format?

Question

I am using following code to record the sound in my Galaxy S2.

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

But this code is storing it in .3ga file.

In my app, I need to find the maximum amplitude of the sound. But Java sound does not support the .3ga file. Can someone please tell me how can I tackle this problem?

Thanks in advance!

You can use AudioRecord to record the audio.

AudioRecord recorder = new AudioRecord(MediaRecorder.AudioSource.MIC, 44100, AudioFormat.CHANNEL_IN_STEREO, AudioFormat.ENCODING_PCM_16BIT, bufferSize);

recorder.startRecording();

Please have a look at http://www.androiddevblog.net/android/android-audio-recording-part-2

:) I wish it was that simple. But i have no control over user's phone. Please give some other options! – shriguru nayak Oct 12 '12 at 18:18
In this case, you should not have called MediaStore.Audio.Media.RECORD_SOUND_ACTION, because all it does is launching the recorder application. You should use AudioRecord to achieve this. – Durairaj Packirisamy Oct 12 '12 at 19:08
Is there any other way? Please let me know. A link with sample code would be more helpful – shriguru nayak Oct 13 '12 at 10:28
