I have a recorder I'm trying to make to test it out and see how it works. However when I run it I get the error:

E/MediaRecorder: start called in an invalid state: 4

So I did some googlejitzu and figured out that my file path is wrong. This is my code:

final MediaRecorder recorder = new MediaRecorder();
 recorder.setAudioSource(MediaRecorder.AudioSource.MIC);
 recorder.setOutputFormat(MediaRecorder.OutputFormat.THREE_GPP);
 recorder.setAudioEncoder(MediaRecorder.AudioEncoder.AMR_NB);
 recorder.setOutputFile("Test");

 System.out.println("Hello");
 try 
 recorder.prepare();
 catch (IOException e) 
 e.printStackTrace();

 
 recorder.start();
 CountDownTimer countDownTimer = new CountDownTimer(30000, 1000) 
 @Override
 public void onTick(long l) 

 

 @Override
 public void onFinish() 
 recorder.stop();
 
 .start();

So I guess I was wondering how to make a file path directory on the phone for the audio to be saved to.

The Error is:

I have both required permissions.

You are trying to write to a internal storage to which your app does not have access. It's not a rooted device.

You need to write your file to the External storage.

Use either: getFilesDir() or getExternalFilesDir() (on Context or Activity) to get the directory and write the file to that location.

Psuedocode:

File file = new File(context.getFilesDir(), "Test");
FileOutputStream outputStream = new FileOutputStream(file);
outputStream.write("contents".getBytes());
outputStream.close();
