I am trying to concatenate multiple mp4 audio files (each containing only one audio track, all recorded with the same MediaRecorder and the same parameters) into one using the following function:
@TargetApi(Build.VERSION_CODES.JELLY_BEAN_MR2)
public static boolean concatenateFiles(File dst, File... sources) {
if ((sources == null) || (sources.length == 0)) {
return false;
}
boolean result;
MediaExtractor extractor = null;
MediaMuxer muxer = null;
try {
// Set up MediaMuxer for the destination.
muxer = new MediaMuxer(dst.getPath(), MediaMuxer.OutputFormat.MUXER_OUTPUT_MPEG_4);
// Copy the samples from MediaExtractor to MediaMuxer.
boolean sawEOS = false;
int bufferSize = MAX_SAMPLE_SIZE;
int frameCount = 0;
int offset = 100;
ByteBuffer dstBuf = ByteBuffer.allocate(bufferSize);
BufferInfo bufferInfo = new BufferInfo();
long timeOffsetUs = 0;
int dstTrackIndex = -1;
for (int fileIndex = 0; fileIndex < sources.length; fileIndex++) {
int numberOfSamplesInSource = getNumberOfSamples(sources[fileIndex]);
if (VERBOSE) {
Log.d(TAG, String.format("Source file: %s", sources[fileIndex].getPath()));
}
// Set up MediaExtractor to read from the source.
extractor = new MediaExtractor();
extractor.setDataSource(sources[fileIndex].getPath());
// Set up the tracks.
SparseIntArray indexMap = new SparseIntArray(extractor.getTrackCount());
for (int i = 0; i < extractor.getTrackCount(); i++) {
extractor.selectTrack(i);
MediaFormat format = extractor.getTrackFormat(i);
if (dstTrackIndex < 0) {
dstTrackIndex = muxer.addTrack(format);
muxer.start();
}
indexMap.put(i, dstTrackIndex);
}
long lastPresentationTimeUs = 0;
int currentSample = 0;
while (!sawEOS) {
bufferInfo.offset = offset;
bufferInfo.size = extractor.readSampleData(dstBuf, offset);
if (bufferInfo.size < 0) {
sawEOS = true;
bufferInfo.size = 0;
timeOffsetUs += (lastPresentationTimeUs + APPEND_DELAY);
}
else {
lastPresentationTimeUs = extractor.getSampleTime();
bufferInfo.presentationTimeUs = extractor.getSampleTime() + timeOffsetUs;
bufferInfo.flags = extractor.getSampleFlags();
int trackIndex = extractor.getSampleTrackIndex();
if ((currentSample < numberOfSamplesInSource) || (fileIndex == sources.length - 1)) {
muxer.writeSampleData(indexMap.get(trackIndex), dstBuf, bufferInfo);
}
extractor.advance();
frameCount++;
currentSample++;
if (VERBOSE) {
Log.d(TAG, "Frame (" + frameCount + ") " +
"PresentationTimeUs:" + bufferInfo.presentationTimeUs +
" Flags:" + bufferInfo.flags +
" TrackIndex:" + trackIndex +
" Size(KB) " + bufferInfo.size / 1024);
}
}
}
extractor.release();
extractor = null;
}
result = true;
}
catch (IOException e) {
result = false;
}
finally {
if (extractor != null) {
extractor.release();
}
if (muxer != null) {
muxer.stop();
muxer.release();
}
}
return result;
}
@TargetApi(Build.VERSION_CODES.JELLY_BEAN)
public static int getNumberOfSamples(File src) {
MediaExtractor extractor = new MediaExtractor();
int result;
try {
extractor.setDataSource(src.getPath());
extractor.selectTrack(0);
result = 0;
while (extractor.advance()) {
result ++;
}
}
catch(IOException e) {
result = -1;
}
finally {
extractor.release();
}
return result;
}
The code compiles and runs, but when playing the resulting file, I hear only the contents of the first file. I do not see what I am doing wrong.
However, after Marlon pointed me to that direction, there is something strange about the messages I am getting from the MediaMuxer. Here they are:

It seems that after copying data from the first file, MPEG4Writer (why not MediaMuxer?) stops the track and does not write further data. How can I prevent that? Do I have to manipulate the headers directly, and if so, how?
Any help would be appreciated.
Best regards,
Christian
Formally you can't join 2 encoded audio tracks: each track could be encoded with different parameters which are stored in headers. For sure if both files were created by the same encoder\muxer, same encoding parameters and both headers are equal it can work, but it is rather strict limitation. As far as i see you set audio format (it contains headers) to audio track in muxer to format from 1st file. So if 2nd file audio format differs it can cause different sorts of errors resulting in not correct second file audio.
Please try to put one source file twice to dst file, as first and second. If it works - than the problem is in headers. If not - then somewhere else, i think.
