In my App with many activities, I am trying to make a recording in one activity and store it in the phone files. Then in another activity, I want to play that file back. I think I may have a problem with with how I am saving the original file because it crashes on the second activity when it wants to read the file. I am not sure how to save in one activity and then read that audio file in the next activity. I have included what I thought was relevant code from both activities.
//This is the Activity that simply records and then saves the audio file
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
Context mContext = getApplicationContext();
createTempFile("Status_Recorder.txt", "INPROGRESS");
/*
* Create the file where the audio tone that is recorded will be saved
*
*/
try{
FileOutputStream fOut = openFileOutput("audio_test_right.3gp" , MODE_WORLD_READABLE);
}catch(IOException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
exit_function();
}
path = mContext.getFilesDir()+"/audio_test_right.3gp";
start_recording();
}
//Method to Start the Recording
private void start_recording() {
//Intialize the recorder
try{
speaker_recorder = new MediaRecorder();
speaker_recorder.reset();
} catch(Exception e){
Log.e(log_tag,"Recorder Initialization Failed");
createTempFile("Status.txt", "COMPLETED-RECORDER FAILED");
}
//Setting for the Recorder
try{
Log.i(log_tag,"Setting the recorder");
speaker_recorder.setAudioSource(MediaRecorder.AudioSource.MIC);
speaker_recorder.setOutputFormat(MediaRecorder.OutputFormat.THREE_GPP);
speaker_recorder.setAudioEncoder(MediaRecorder.AudioEncoder.AMR_NB);
speaker_recorder.setOutputFile(path);
} catch(Exception e){
Log.e(log_tag,"Recording Settings Failed");
createTempFile("Status.txt", "COMPLETED-RECORDER FAILED");
}
//Prepare the Recorder
try{

title_text.setTextColor(Color.RED);

exit_function();
