reading raw data from a wav file on android

Question

So this code records audio into a wav file that is stored in the emulated storage. How can I then take this wav file and get an array of the raw audio data?

The code would go down in the buttonDecode section where it says: //read raw data from wav file

This should work. There might be better way to concat the bytes from the input stream etc but it is a working exemple to improve. Hope it works. Instead of MediaPlayer I use AudioTrack. HOpe this will work for you.

    InputStream is = mContext.getResources().openRawResource(R.raw.bell);
    byte []musicBytes=new byte[512];
    byte []fullMusicBytes=new byte[512];
    byte []tempMusicBytes=new byte[512];

    try {
        while (is.available() > 0) {
            is.read(musicBytes);
            if(fullMusicBytes!=null)
            {
                tempMusicBytes = new byte[fullMusicBytes.length + musicBytes.length];
                System.arraycopy(fullMusicBytes, 0, tempMusicBytes, 0, fullMusicBytes.length);
                System.arraycopy(musicBytes, 0, tempMusicBytes, fullMusicBytes.length, musicBytes.length);
                fullMusicBytes=tempMusicBytes;
            }
            else
            {
                fullMusicBytes=musicBytes;
            }

        }
        is.close();
    }catch(Exception e)
    {

    }
    int buffsize = AudioTrack.getMinBufferSize(sr,
            AudioFormat.CHANNEL_OUT_STEREO, AudioFormat.ENCODING_PCM_16BIT);
    // create an audiotrack object
    AudioTrack audioTrack = new AudioTrack(AudioManager.STREAM_MUSIC,
            sr, AudioFormat.CHANNEL_OUT_STEREO,
            AudioFormat.ENCODING_PCM_16BIT, buffsize,
            AudioTrack.MODE_STREAM);
    audioTrack.play();

    int buffNr=0;

    while(fullMusicBytes.length>=buffNr) {
        audioTrack.write(fullMusicBytes, buffNr, buffsize);
        buffNr+=buffsize;
    }
