Android的多媒体框架包括了对各种通用音频格式进行采集和编码的支持，因此你能够容易的把音频集成到你的应用程序中。如果设备硬件支持，你还能够使用MediaRecorder API来记录音频。
本文向你展示如何编写从设备的麦克中采集音频、保存并播放它的应用程序。
注意：Android模拟器没有采集音频的能力，但是实际的设备可能提供这种能力。
执行音频采集
从设备上采集音频比音视频播放要复杂一些，但依然相当简单：
1. 创建一个新的android.media.MediaRecorder类的实例；
2. 使用MediaRecorder.setAudioSource()方法设置音频源。你可能还想使用MediaRecorder.AudioSource.MIC;
3. 使用MediaRecorder.setOutputFormat()方法设置输出文件格式；
4. 使用MediaRecorder.setOutputFile()方法设置输出文件名；
5. 使用MediaRecorder.setAudioEncoder()方法设置音频编码；
6. 调用MediaRecorder实例上的MediaRecorder.prepare()方法；
7. 调用MediaRecorder.start()方法启动音频采集；
8. 调用MediaRecorder.stop()方法终止音频采集；
9. 使用完MediaRecorder实例后，调用它的MediaRecorder.release()方法。要始终调用这个方法来立即释放资源。
示例：录音和播放录音
这个例子的类演示了如何建立、启动和终止音频采集，并且播放录音文件。
/*
* 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" />
*
