MediaRecorder Starts With A 1 Sec Delay. How Do I Get Rid Of The Silence?

I am trying to use MediaRecorder in a Service to record sounds. But it creates a 1 sec delay (silence) at the start. how to i get rid of this? I tried using RehearsalAudioRecorder

Solution 1:

I found a solution with the RehearsalAudioRecorder

public void onStart(Intent intent, int startId) {
        boolean isStart = intent.getBooleanExtra("state", false);

        if (isStart) {

            acquireWakeLock();

            int i = 0;

            do {
                if (mRecorder != null)
                    mRecorder.release();

                 mRecorder = new RehearsalAudioRecorder(false, 0, 0, 0, 0);

            } while ((++i < 44100)
                    & !(mRecorder.getState() == RehearsalAudioRecorder.State.INITIALIZING));

            mRecorder.setOutputFile(intent.getStringExtra("audioFile"));
            mRecorder.prepare();
            mRecorder.start();

        } else if (!isStart) {

            if(mRecorder != null) {
                mRecorder.stop();
                mRecorder.release();
                mRecorder = null;
            }

            releaseWakeLock();

        }
    }
