AudioRecord and AudioTrack

The android.media.AudioRecord class manages the audio resources for Java applications to record audio from the audio input hardware of the platform.

The android.media.AudioTrack class manages and plays a single audio resource for Java applications. It allows to stream PCM audio buffers to the audio hardware for playback.

Permission of "android.permission.RECORD_AUDIO" and "android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE" are needed.

Download the files.

Next:
- Change sampling frequency (sampleRateInHz) for AudioRecord and AudioTrack.

I've downloaded the source, and the application crashes after the play back button is clicked. Any ideas?

I do see this in LogCat:
thread exiting with uncaught exception

Thanks!
