I am new in android studio. I am trying to make a voice recorder app that can automatically record for 10 seconds once the record button is clicked. I did that using a countdown timer. However, the countdown timer only works for the first time. The recorder does not stop automatically when I try to record for the second time. I can't seem to find problem.

You are putting the countDowntimer
in onCreate()
method, you need to put it inside the onClick
of buttonStart
buttonStart.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
@Override
public void onClick(View view) {
if (checkPermission()) {
AudioSavePathInDevice =
Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory().getAbsolutePath() + "/" +
CreateRandomAudioFileName(5) + "AudioRecording.3gp";
MediaRecorderReady();
try {
mediaRecorder.prepare();
mediaRecorder.start();
} catch (IllegalStateException e) {
// TODO Auto-generated catch block
e.printStackTrace();
} catch (IOException e) {
// TODO Auto-generated catch block
e.printStackTrace();
}
buttonStart.setEnabled(true);
buttonPlayLastRecordAudio.setEnabled(true);
CountDownTimer countDowntimer = new CountDownTimer(5000, 10000) {
public void onTick(long millisUntilFinished) {
}
public void onFinish() {
Toast.makeText(MainActivity.this, "Stop recording Automatically ", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
mediaRecorder.stop();
buttonStart.setEnabled(true);
}
};
countDowntimer.start();
Toast.makeText(MainActivity.this, "Recording started",
Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
} else {
requestPermission();
}
}
});
And ofcourse, remove your outside countDowntimer
