Android API Guide for Media and Camera（二）—— 媒体与相机（媒体记录器）

MediaRecorder

Android框架支持各种捕获和编码各种常见的音频和视频格式。你可以使用MediaRecorder APIs如果设备硬件支持的话。

本文展示如何使用MediaRecorder编写一个从设备麦克风捕获音频，并保存和播放（使用MediaPlayer）的应用程序。为了记录视频，你需要通过MediaRecorder使用设备的相机。这里有相机指南的描述。

Note：Android模拟器不能捕获音频，不过真实设备上是有提供这些功能的。

实现音频的捕获

从设备捕获音频比音频和视频的播放相对难一点，但仍然相当简单：

1.创建android.media.MediaRecorder实例.
2.使用 MediaRecorder.setAudioSource(). 设置音频的资源。你可能需要使用MediaRecorder.AudioSource.MIC.
3.使用MediaRecorder.setOutputFormat().设置输出文件的格式。
4.使用 MediaRecorder.setOutputFile().设置输出文件的名字。
5.使用 MediaRecorder.setAudioEncoder().设置音频的编码器。
6.在MediaRecorder的示例中调用MediaRecorder.prepare()。
7.调用MediaRecorder.start().开始捕获音频。
8.调用MediaRecorder.stop().停止捕获音频。
9.当你使用MediaRecorder示例完成工作之后，记得调用 MediaRecorder.release() 立即释放它所占用资源。

示例：记录和回放音频

下面的示例类演示如何创建，开始和停止捕获音频，并播放记录的音频文件。

/*
 * The application needs to have the permission to write to external storage
 * if the output file is written to the external storage, and also the
 * permission to record audio. These permissions must be set in the
 * application's AndroidManifest.xml file, with something like:
 *
 * <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE" />
 * <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.RECORD_AUDIO" />
 *
