I have been working on some code for an app i am making, and i need to play large PCM files (upwards of 600mb).
This is the current code for my play() method:
public void play(View view) {
Toast.makeText(this, "play", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
// Get the file we want to playback.
File file = new File(Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory() + File.separator + "ACS.pcm");
// Get the length of the audio stored in the file (16 bit so 2 bytes per short)
// and create a short array to store the recorded audio.
int musicLength = (int)(file.length()/2);
short[] music = new short[musicLength];
try {
// Create a DataInputStream to read the audio data back from the saved file.
InputStream is = new FileInputStream(file);
BufferedInputStream bis = new BufferedInputStream(is);
DataInputStream dis = new DataInputStream(bis);
// Read the file into the music array.
int i = 0;
while (dis.available() > 0) {
music[musicLength-1-i] = dis.readShort();
i++;
}
// Close the input streams.
dis.close();
// Create a new AudioTrack object using the same parameters as the AudioRecord
// object used to create the file.
AudioTrack audioTrack = new AudioTrack(AudioManager.STREAM_MUSIC,
44100,
AudioFormat.CHANNEL_OUT_MONO,
AudioFormat.ENCODING_PCM_16BIT,
musicLength,
AudioTrack.MODE_STREAM);
// Start playback
audioTrack.play();
// Write the music buffer to the AudioTrack object
audioTrack.write(music, 0, musicLength);
} catch (Throwable t) {
Log.e("AudioTrack","Playback Failed");
}
}
However the application crashes on the line: short[] music = new short[musicLength];
I believe this is because the app is trying to create an array of a very large size, hence using up a lot of memory (ram).
The logcat from the crash is:

I have searched on google, but i cant seem to find any way of playing the PCM file without first loading it into a short array. If someone knows of a way around this, and wouldnt mind sharing, i would be very grateful.
Thanks Corey
