I recording audio with class audoiRecord. Now I want convert audio raw file to *flac format. I convert *raw file to wav next way:
private void copyWaveFile(String inFilename,String outFilename){
FileInputStream in = null;
FileOutputStream out = null;
long totalAudioLen = 0;
long totalDataLen = totalAudioLen + 36;
long longSampleRate = sampleRate;
int channels = 2;
long byteRate = RECORDER_BPP * sampleRate * channels/8;
byte[] data_pcm = new byte[mAudioBufferSize];
try {
in = new FileInputStream(inFilename);
out = new FileOutputStream(outFilename);
totalAudioLen = in.getChannel().size();
totalDataLen = totalAudioLen + 36;
Log.i(TAG,"File size: " + totalDataLen);
WriteWaveFileHeader(out, totalAudioLen, totalDataLen,
longSampleRate, channels, byteRate);
while(in.read(data_pcm) != -1){
out.write(data_pcm);
}
in.close();
out.close();
} catch (FileNotFoundException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
} catch (IOException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
This piece of code is responsible for the file header
private void WriteWaveFileHeader(
FileOutputStream out, long totalAudioLen,
long totalDataLen, long longSampleRate, int channels,
long byteRate) throws IOException {
byte[] header = new byte[44];
header[0] = 'R'; // RIFF/WAVE header
header[1] = 'I';
header[2] = 'F';
header[3] = 'F';
header[4] = (byte) (totalDataLen & 0xff);
header[5] = (byte) ((totalDataLen >> 8) & 0xff);
header[6] = (byte) ((totalDataLen >> 16) & 0xff);
header[7] = (byte) ((totalDataLen >> 24) & 0xff);
header[8] = 'W';
header[9] = 'A';
header[10] = 'V';
header[11] = 'E';
header[12] = 'f'; // 'fmt ' chunk
header[13] = 'm';
header[14] = 't';
header[15] = ' ';
header[16] = 16; // 4 bytes: size of 'fmt ' chunk
header[17] = 0;
header[18] = 0;
header[19] = 0;
header[20] = 1; // format = 1
header[21] = 0;
header[22] = (byte) channels;
header[23] = 0;
header[24] = (byte) (longSampleRate & 0xff);
header[25] = (byte) ((longSampleRate >> 8) & 0xff);
header[26] = (byte) ((longSampleRate >> 16) & 0xff);
header[27] = (byte) ((longSampleRate >> 24) & 0xff);
header[28] = (byte) (byteRate & 0xff);
header[29] = (byte) ((byteRate >> 8) & 0xff);
header[30] = (byte) ((byteRate >> 16) & 0xff);
header[31] = (byte) ((byteRate >> 24) & 0xff);
header[32] = (byte) (2 * 16 / 8); // block align
header[33] = 0;
header[34] = RECORDER_BPP; // bits per sample
header[35] = 0;
header[36] = 'd';
header[37] = 'a';
header[38] = 't';
header[39] = 'a';
header[40] = (byte) (totalAudioLen & 0xff);
header[41] = (byte) ((totalAudioLen >> 8) & 0xff);
header[42] = (byte) ((totalAudioLen >> 16) & 0xff);
header[43] = (byte) ((totalAudioLen >> 24) & 0xff);
out.write(header, 0, 44);
}
I do not understand what should be the parameters of the *flac file
You need an encoder to convert pcm data to flac format. You cannot just change the header and expect the content to work as flac.
Android (at least till 4.1) does not include a FLAC encoder, although there is a decoder supported from 3.1 onwards (Source: http://developer.android.com/guide/appendix/media-formats.html).
I do not have direct experience, but have seen people use ffmpeg as a flac encoder. This project audioboo-android, which contains the native libFLAC/libFLAC++ encoder, looks interesting.
