Answer 1

The documentation for MediaRecorder.getMaxAmplitude says:

Returns the maximum absolute amplitude that was sampled since the last call to this method. Call this only after the setAudioSource().

Thus, you could just sample twice over a small time interval and look at the second value. That would effectively be an instantaneous sample.

Through the setOutputFile method you can specify where you want the data to be stored (File or URI), but what if I want to store that data in a memory buffer and send it over a connection? Or process it before sending it? I mean is there a way not to create a file but to use a memory bu...

I need the data to come more quickly than once per minute. Does anyone have any suggestions on controlling this behavior? The androi...
