Enumerations

Anonymous Enum 0

Declared in aaudio/AAudio.h
 Anonymous Enum 0
Properties
AAUDIO_DIRECTION_INPUT

Audio data will travel into the device, for example from a microphone.

AAUDIO_DIRECTION_OUTPUT

Audio data will travel out of the device, for example through a speaker.

Anonymous Enum 1

Declared in aaudio/AAudio.h
 Anonymous Enum 1
Properties
AAUDIO_FORMAT_IEC61937

This format is used for compressed audio wrapped in IEC61937 for HDMI or S/PDIF passthrough.

Unlike PCM playback, the Android framework is not able to do format conversion for IEC61937. In that case, when IEC61937 is requested, sampling rate and channel count or channel mask must be specified. Otherwise, it may fail when opening the stream. Apps are able to get the correct configuration for the playback by calling AudioManager::getDevices(int).

Available since API level 34.

AAUDIO_FORMAT_INVALID
AAUDIO_FORMAT_PCM_FLOAT

This format uses the float data type.

The nominal range of the data is [-1.0f, 1.0f). Values outside that range may be clipped.

See also the float Data in write(float[], int, int, int).

AAUDIO_FORMAT_PCM_I16

This format uses the int16_t data type.

The maximum range of the data is -32768 (0x8000) to 32767 (0x7FFF).

AAUDIO_FORMAT_PCM_I24_PACKED

This format uses 24-bit samples packed into 3 bytes.

The bytes are in little-endian order, so the least significant byte comes first in the byte array.

The maximum range of the data is -8388608 (0x800000) to 8388607 (0x7FFFFF).

Note that the lower precision bits may be ignored by the device.

Available since API level 31.

AAUDIO_FORMAT_PCM_I32

This format uses 32-bit samples stored in an int32_t data type.

The maximum range of the data is -2147483648 (0x80000000) to 2147483647 (0x7FFFFFFF).

Note that the lower precision bits may be ignored by the device.

Available since API level 31.

AAUDIO_FORMAT_UNSPECIFIED

Anonymous Enum 10

Declared in aaudio/AAudio.h
 Anonymous Enum 10

Specifying if audio may or may not be captured by other apps or the system.

Note that these match the equivalent values in AudioAttributes in the Android Java API.

Added in API level 29.

Properties
AAUDIO_ALLOW_CAPTURE_BY_ALL

Indicates that the audio may be captured by any app.

For privacy, the following usages can not be recorded: AAUDIO_VOICE_COMMUNICATION*, AAUDIO_USAGE_NOTIFICATION*, AAUDIO_USAGE_ASSISTANCE* and AAUDIO_USAGE_ASSISTANT.

On Q, this means only AAUDIO_USAGE_MEDIA and AAUDIO_USAGE_GAME may be captured.

See ALLOW_CAPTURE_BY_ALL.

AAUDIO_ALLOW_CAPTURE_BY_NONE

Indicates that the audio may not be recorded by any app, even if it is a system app.

It is encouraged to use AAUDIO_ALLOW_CAPTURE_BY_SYSTEM instead of this value as system apps provide significant and useful features for the user (eg. accessibility). See ALLOW_CAPTURE_BY_NONE.

AAUDIO_ALLOW_CAPTURE_BY_SYSTEM

Indicates that the audio may only be captured by system apps.

System apps can capture for many purposes like accessibility, user guidance... but have strong restriction. See ALLOW_CAPTURE_BY_SYSTEM for what the system apps can do with the capture audio.

Anonymous Enum 11

 Anonymous Enum 11

These may be used with AAudioStreamBuilder_setSessionId().

Added in API level 28.

Properties
AAUDIO_SESSION_ID_ALLOCATE

Allocate a session ID that can be used to attach and control effects using the Java AudioEffects API.

Note that using this may result in higher latency.

Note that this matches the value of AudioManager.AUDIO_SESSION_ID_GENERATE.

Added in API level 28.

AAUDIO_SESSION_ID_NONE

Do not allocate a session ID.

Effects cannot be used with this stream. Default.

Added in API level 28.

Anonymous Enum 12

Declared in aaudio/AAudio.h
 Anonymous Enum 12

Defines the audio channel mask.

Channel masks are used to describe the samples and their arrangement in the audio frame. They are also used in the endpoint (e.g. a USB audio interface, a DAC connected to headphones) to specify allowable configurations of a particular device.

Channel masks are for input only, output only, or both input and output. These channel masks are different than those defined in AudioFormat.java. If an app gets a channel mask from Java API and wants to use it in AAudio, conversion should be done by the app.

Added in API level 32.

AAudioStream_dataCallback

Declared in aaudio/AAudio.h
aaudio_data_callback_result_t(* AAudioStream_dataCallback)(AAudioStream *_Nonnull stream, void *_Nullable userData, void *_Nonnull audioData, int32_t numFrames)

Prototype for the data function that is passed to AAudioStreamBuilder_setDataCallback().

For an output stream, this function should render and write numFrames of data in the streams current data format to the audioData buffer.

For an input stream, this function should read and process numFrames of data from the audioData buffer. The data in the audioData buffer must not be modified directly. Instead, it should be copied to another buffer before doing any modification. In many cases, writing to the audioData buffer of an input stream will result in a native exception.

The audio data is passed through the buffer. So do NOT call AAudioStream_read() or AAudioStream_write() on the stream that is making the callback.

Note that numFrames can vary unless AAudioStreamBuilder_setFramesPerDataCallback() is called.

Also note that this callback function should be considered a "real-time" function. It must not do anything that could cause an unbounded delay because that can cause the audio to glitch or pop.

These are things the function should NOT do:

  • allocate memory using, for example, malloc() or new
  • any file operations such as opening, closing, reading or writing
  • any network operations such as streaming
  • use any mutexes or other synchronization primitives
  • sleep
  • stop or close the stream
  • AAudioStream_read()
  • AAudioStream_write()

The following are OK to call from the data callback:

If you need to move data, eg. MIDI commands, in or out of the callback function then we recommend the use of non-blocking techniques such as an atomic FIFO.

Parameters
stream
reference provided by AAudioStreamBuilder_openStream()
userData

Declared in aaudio/AAudio.h
AAUDIO_API void AAudioStreamBuilder_setAllowedCapturePolicy(
  AAudioStreamBuilder *_Nonnull builder,
  aaudio_allowed_capture_policy_t capturePolicy
)

Specify whether this stream audio may or may not be captured by other apps or the system.

The default is AAUDIO_ALLOW_CAPTURE_BY_ALL.

Note that an application can also set its global policy, in which case the most restrictive policy is always applied. See setAllowedCapturePolicy(int)

Available since API level 29.

AAUDIO_API void AAudioStreamBuilder_setAttributionTag(
  AAudioStreamBuilder *_Nonnull builder,
  const char *_Nonnull attributionTag
)

Declare the attribution tag of the context creating the stream.

This is usually

Context#getAttributionTag() 
.

The default, if you do not call this function, is null.

Available since API level 31.

Details
Parameters
builder
reference provided by AAudio_createStreamBuilder()
attributionTag

AAudioStreamBuilder_setBufferCapacityInFrames

Declared in aaudio/AAudio.h
AAUDIO_API void AAudioStreamBuilder_setBufferCapacityInFrames(
  AAudioStreamBuilder *_Nonnull builder,
  int32_t numFrames
)

Set the requested buffer capacity in frames.

The final AAudioStream capacity may differ, but will probably be at least this big.

The default, if you do not call this function, is AAUDIO_UNSPECIFIED.

Available since API level 26.

Details
Parameters
builder
reference provided by AAudio_createStreamBuilder()
numFrames
the desired buffer capacity in frames or AAUDIO_UNSPECIFIED

AAudioStreamBuilder_setChannelCount

Declared in aaudio/AAudio.h
AAUDIO_API void AAudioStreamBuilder_setChannelCount(
  AAudioStreamBuilder *_Nonnull builder,
  int32_t channelCount
)

Request a number of channels for the stream.

The default, if you do not call this function, is AAUDIO_UNSPECIFIED. An optimal value will then be chosen when the stream is opened. After opening a stream with an unspecified value, the application must query for the actual value, which may vary by device.

If an exact value is specified then an opened stream will use that value. If a stream cannot be opened with the specified value then the open will fail.

As the channel count provided here may be different from the corresponding channel count of channel mask used in AAudioStreamBuilder_setChannelMask, the last called function will be respected if both this function and AAudioStreamBuilder_setChannelMask are called.

Note that if the channel count is two then it may get mixed to mono when the device only supports one channel. If the channel count is greater than two but the device's supported channel count is less than the requested value, the channels higher than the device channel will be dropped. If higher channels should be mixed or spatialized, use AAudioStreamBuilder_setChannelMask instead.

Available since API level 26.

Details
Parameters
builder
reference provided by AAudio_createStreamBuilder()
channelCount
Number of channels desired.

AAudioStreamBuilder_setChannelMask

Declared in aaudio/AAudio.h
AAUDIO_API void AAudioStreamBuilder_setChannelMask(
  AAudioStreamBuilder *_Nonnull builder,
  aaudio_channel_mask_t channelMask
)

Set audio channel mask for the stream.

The default, if you do not call this function, is AAUDIO_UNSPECIFIED. If both channel mask and count are not set, then stereo will then be chosen when the stream is opened. After opening a stream with an unspecified value, the application must query for the actual value, which may vary by device.

If an exact value is specified then an opened stream will use that value. If a stream cannot be opened with the specified value then the open will fail.

As the corresponding channel count of provided channel mask here may be different from the channel count used in AAudioStreamBuilder_setChannelCount or AAudioStreamBuilder_setSamplesPerFrame, the last called function will be respected if this function and AAudioStreamBuilder_setChannelCount or AAudioStreamBuilder_setSamplesPerFrame are called.

Available since API level 32.

Details
Parameters
builder
reference provided by AAudio_createStreamBuilder()
channelMask
Audio channel mask desired.

AAudioStreamBuilder_setContentType

Declared in aaudio/AAudio.h
AAUDIO_API void AAudioStreamBuilder_setContentType(
  AAudioStreamBuilder *_Nonnull builder,
  aaudio_content_type_t contentType
)

Set the type of audio data that the output stream will carry.

The AAudio system will use this information to optimize the behavior of the stream. This could, for example, affect whether a stream is paused when a notification occurs.

The default, if you do not call this function, is AAUDIO_CONTENT_TYPE_MUSIC.

Available since API level 28.

Details
Parameters
builder
reference provided by AAudio_createStreamBuilder()
contentType
the type of audio data, eg. AAUDIO_CONTENT_TYPE_SPEECH

AAudioStreamBuilder_setDataCallback

Declared in aaudio/AAudio.h
AAUDIO_API void AAudioStreamBuilder_setDataCallback(
  AAudioStreamBuilder *_Nonnull builder,
  AAudioStream_dataCallback _Nullable callback,
  void *_Nullable userData
)

Request that AAudio call this functions when the stream is running.

Note that when using this callback, the audio data will be passed in or out of the function as an argument. So you cannot call AAudioStream_write() or AAudioStream_read() on the same stream that has an active data callback.

The callback function will start being called after AAudioStream_requestStart() is called. It will stop being called after AAudioStream_requestPause() or AAudioStream_requestStop() is called.

This callback function will be called on a real-time thread owned by AAudio. The low latency streams may have callback threads with higher priority than normal streams. See AAudioStream_dataCallback for more information.

Note that the AAudio callbacks will never be called simultaneously from multiple threads.

Available since API level 26.

Details
Parameters
builder
reference provided by AAudio_createStreamBuilder()
callback
pointer to a function that will process audio data.
userData
pointer to an application data structure that will be passed to the callback functions.

AAudioStreamBuilder_setDeviceId

Declared in aaudio/AAudio.h
AAUDIO_API void AAudioStreamBuilder_setDeviceId(
  AAudioStreamBuilder *_Nonnull builder,
  int32_t deviceId
)

Request an audio device identified by an ID.

The ID could be obtained from the Java AudioManager. AudioManager.getDevices() returns an array of AudioDeviceInfo, which contains a getId() method. That ID can be passed to this function.

It is possible that you may not get the device that you requested. So if it is important to you, you should call AAudioStream_getDeviceId() after the stream is opened to verify the actual ID.

The default, if you do not call this function, is AAUDIO_UNSPECIFIED, in which case the primary device will be used.

Available since API level 26.

Details
Parameters
builder
reference provided by AAudio_createStreamBuilder()
deviceId
device identifier or AAUDIO_UNSPECIFIED

AAudioStreamBuilder_setDirection

Declared in aaudio/AAudio.h
AAUDIO_API void AAudioStreamBuilder_setDirection(

Request the direction for a stream.

The default, if you do not call this function, is AAUDIO_DIRECTION_OUTPUT.

Available since API level 26.

Details
Parameters
builder
reference provided by AAudio_createStreamBuilder()
direction

AAudioStreamBuilder_setErrorCallback

Declared in aaudio/AAudio.h
AAUDIO_API void AAudioStreamBuilder_setErrorCallback(
  AAudioStreamBuilder *_Nonnull builder,
  AAudioStream_errorCallback _Nullable callback,
  void *_Nullable userData
)

Request that AAudio call this function if any error occurs or the stream is disconnected.

It will be called, for example, if a headset or a USB device is unplugged causing the stream's device to be unavailable or "disconnected". Another possible cause of error would be a timeout or an unanticipated internal error.

In response, this function should signal or create another thread to stop and close this stream. The other thread could then reopen a stream on another device. Do not stop or close the stream, or reopen the new stream, directly from this callback.

This callback will not be called because of actions by the application, such as stopping or closing a stream.

Note that the AAudio callbacks will never be called simultaneously from multiple threads.

Available since API level 26.

Details
Parameters
builder
reference provided by AAudio_createStreamBuilder()
callback
pointer to a function that will be called if an error occurs.
userData
pointer to an application data structure that will be passed to the callback functions.

AAudioStreamBuilder_setFormat

Declared in aaudio/AAudio.h
AAUDIO_API void AAudioStreamBuilder_setFormat(
  AAudioStreamBuilder *_Nonnull builder,
  aaudio_format_t format
)

Request a sample data format, for example AAUDIO_FORMAT_PCM_I16.

The default, if you do not call this function, is AAUDIO_UNSPECIFIED. An optimal value will then be chosen when the stream is opened. After opening a stream with an unspecified value, the application must query for the actual value, which may vary by device.

If an exact value is specified then an opened stream will use that value. If a stream cannot be opened with the specified value then the open will fail.

Available since API level 26.

Details
Parameters
builder
reference provided by AAudio_createStreamBuilder()
format

AAudioStreamBuilder_setFramesPerDataCallback

Declared in aaudio/AAudio.h
AAUDIO_API void AAudioStreamBuilder_setFramesPerDataCallback(
  AAudioStreamBuilder *_Nonnull builder,
  int32_t numFrames
)

Set the requested data callback buffer size in frames.

See AAudioStream_dataCallback.

The default, if you do not call this function, is AAUDIO_UNSPECIFIED.

For the lowest possible latency, do not call this function. AAudio will then call the dataProc callback function with whatever size is optimal. That size may vary from one callback to another.

Only use this function if the application requires a specific number of frames for processing. The application might, for example, be using an FFT that requires a specific power-of-two sized buffer.

AAudio may need to add additional buffering in order to adapt between the internal buffer size and the requested buffer size.

If you do call this function then the requested size should be less than half the buffer capacity, to allow double buffering.

Available since API level 26.

Details
Parameters
builder
reference provided by AAudio_createStreamBuilder()
numFrames
the desired buffer size in frames or AAUDIO_UNSPECIFIED

AAudioStreamBuilder_setInputPreset

Declared in aaudio/AAudio.h
AAUDIO_API void AAudioStreamBuilder_setInputPreset(
  AAudioStreamBuilder *_Nonnull builder,
  aaudio_input_preset_t inputPreset
)

Set the input (capture) preset for the stream.

The AAudio system will use this information to optimize the behavior of the stream. This could, for example, affect which microphones are used and how the recorded data is processed.

The default, if you do not call this function, is AAUDIO_INPUT_PRESET_VOICE_RECOGNITION. That is because VOICE_RECOGNITION is the preset with the lowest latency on many platforms.

Available since API level 28.

Details
Parameters
builder
reference provided by AAudio_createStreamBuilder()
inputPreset
the desired configuration for recording

AAudioStreamBuilder_setIsContentSpatialized

Declared in aaudio/AAudio.h
AAUDIO_API void AAudioStreamBuilder_setIsContentSpatialized(
  AAudioStreamBuilder *_Nonnull builder,
  bool isSpatialized
)

Specifies whether the audio data of this output stream has already been processed for spatialization.

If the stream has been processed for spatialization, setting this to true will prevent issues such as double-processing on platforms that will spatialize audio data.

Available since API level 32.

Details
Parameters
builder
reference provided by AAudio_createStreamBuilder()
isSpatialized
true if the content is already processed for binaural or transaural spatial rendering, false otherwise.

AAudioStreamBuilder_setPackageName

Declared in aaudio/AAudio.h
AAUDIO_API void AAudioStreamBuilder_setPackageName(
  AAudioStreamBuilder *_Nonnull builder,
  const char *_Nonnull packageName
)

Declare the name of the package creating the stream.

This is usually

Context#getPackageName() 
.

The default, if you do not call this function, is a random package in the calling uid. The vast majority of apps have only one package per calling UID. If an invalid package name is set, input streams may not be given permission to record when started.

The package name is usually the applicationId in your app's build.gradle file.

Available since API level 31.

Details
Parameters
builder
reference provided by AAudio_createStreamBuilder()
packageName
packageName of the calling app.

AAudioStreamBuilder_setPerformanceMode

Declared in aaudio/AAudio.h
AAUDIO_API void AAudioStreamBuilder_setPerformanceMode(
  AAudioStreamBuilder *_Nonnull builder,
  aaudio_performance_mode_t mode
)

Set the requested performance mode.

Supported modes are AAUDIO_PERFORMANCE_MODE_NONE, AAUDIO_PERFORMANCE_MODE_POWER_SAVING * and AAUDIO_PERFORMANCE_MODE_LOW_LATENCY.

The default, if you do not call this function, is AAUDIO_PERFORMANCE_MODE_NONE.

You may not get the mode you requested. You can call AAudioStream_getPerformanceMode() to find out the final mode for the stream.

Available since API level 26.

Details
Parameters
builder
reference provided by AAudio_createStreamBuilder()
mode
the desired performance mode, eg. AAUDIO_PERFORMANCE_MODE_LOW_LATENCY

AAudioStreamBuilder_setPrivacySensitive

Declared in aaudio/AAudio.h
AAUDIO_API void AAudioStreamBuilder_setPrivacySensitive(
  AAudioStreamBuilder *_Nonnull builder,
  bool privacySensitive
)

Indicates whether this input stream must be marked as privacy sensitive or not.

When true, this input stream is privacy sensitive and any concurrent capture is not permitted.

This is off (false) by default except when the input preset is AAUDIO_INPUT_PRESET_VOICE_COMMUNICATION or AAUDIO_INPUT_PRESET_CAMCORDER.

Always takes precedence over default from input preset when set explicitly.

Only relevant if the stream direction is AAUDIO_DIRECTION_INPUT.

Added in API level 30.

Details
Parameters
builder
reference provided by AAudio_createStreamBuilder()
privacySensitive
true if capture from this stream must be marked as privacy sensitive, false otherwise.

AAudioStreamBuilder_setSampleRate

Declared in aaudio/AAudio.h
AAUDIO_API void AAudioStreamBuilder_setSampleRate(
  AAudioStreamBuilder *_Nonnull builder,
  int32_t sampleRate
)

Request a sample rate in Hertz.

The default, if you do not call this function, is AAUDIO_UNSPECIFIED. An optimal value will then be chosen when the stream is opened. After opening a stream with an unspecified value, the application must query for the actual value, which may vary by device.

If an exact value is specified then an opened stream will use that value. If a stream cannot be opened with the specified value then the open will fail.

Available since API level 26.

Details
Parameters
builder
reference provided by AAudio_createStreamBuilder()
sampleRate
frames per second. Common rates include 44100 and 48000 Hz.

AAudioStreamBuilder_setSamplesPerFrame

Number of samples in a frame.

AAudioStreamBuilder_setSessionId

Declared in aaudio/AAudio.h
AAUDIO_API void AAudioStreamBuilder_setSessionId(
  AAudioStreamBuilder *_Nonnull builder,
  aaudio_session_id_t sessionId
)

Set the requested session ID.

The session ID can be used to associate a stream with effects processors. The effects are controlled using the Android AudioEffect Java API.

The default, if you do not call this function, is AAUDIO_SESSION_ID_NONE.

If set to AAUDIO_SESSION_ID_ALLOCATE then a session ID will be allocated when the stream is opened.

The allocated session ID can be obtained by calling AAudioStream_getSessionId() and then used with this function when opening another stream. This allows effects to be shared between streams.

Session IDs from AAudio can be used with the Android Java APIs and vice versa. So a session ID from an AAudio stream can be passed to Java and effects applied using the Java AudioEffect API.

Note that allocating or setting a session ID may result in a stream with higher latency.

Allocated session IDs will always be positive and nonzero.

Available since API level 28.

AAudioStream_getState

Declared in aaudio/AAudio.h
AAUDIO_API aaudio_stream_state_t AAudioStream_getState(
  AAudioStream *_Nonnull stream
)

Query the current state of the client, eg.

AAUDIO_STREAM_STATE_PAUSING

This function will immediately return the state without updating the state. If you want to update the client state based on the server state then call AAudioStream_waitForStateChange() with currentState set to AAUDIO_STREAM_STATE_UNKNOWN and a zero timeout.

Available since API level 26.

Details
Parameters
stream
reference provided by AAudioStreamBuilder_openStream()

AAudioStream_getTimestamp

Declared in aaudio/AAudio.h
AAUDIO_API aaudio_result_t AAudioStream_getTimestamp(
  AAudioStream *_Nonnull stream,
  clockid_t clockid,
  int64_t *_Nonnull framePosition,
  int64_t *_Nonnull timeNanoseconds
)

Returns the time at which a particular frame was played on a speaker or headset, or was recorded on a microphone.

This can be used to synchronize audio with video or MIDI. It can also be used to align a recorded stream with a playback stream.

The framePosition is an index into the stream of audio data. The first frame played or recorded is at framePosition 0.

These framePositions are the same units that you get from AAudioStream_getFramesRead() or AAudioStream_getFramesWritten(). A "frame" is a set of audio sample values that are played simultaneously. For example, a stereo stream has two samples in a frame, left and right.

Timestamps are only valid when the stream is in AAUDIO_STREAM_STATE_STARTED. AAUDIO_ERROR_INVALID_STATE will be returned if the stream is not started. Note that because requestStart() is asynchronous, timestamps will not be valid until a short time after calling requestStart(). So AAUDIO_ERROR_INVALID_STATE should not be considered a fatal error. Just try calling again later.

If an error occurs, then the position and time will not be modified.

The position and time passed back are monotonically increasing.

Available since API level 26.

Details
Parameters
stream
reference provided by AAudioStreamBuilder_openStream()
clockid
CLOCK_MONOTONIC or CLOCK_BOOTTIME
framePosition

Returns
frames read

AAudioStream_getXRunCount

Declared in aaudio/AAudio.h
AAUDIO_API int32_t AAudioStream_getXRunCount(
  AAudioStream *_Nonnull stream
)

An XRun is an Underrun or an Overrun.

During playing, an underrun will occur if the stream is not written in time and the system runs out of valid data. During recording, an overrun will occur if the stream is not read in time and there is no place to put the incoming data so it is discarded.

An underrun or overrun can cause an audible "pop" or "glitch".

Note that some INPUT devices may not support this function. In that case a 0 will always be returned.

Available since API level 26.

Details
Parameters
stream
reference provided by AAudioStreamBuilder_openStream()
Returns
the underrun or overrun count

AAudioStream_isContentSpatialized

  AAudioStream *_Nonnull stream,
  void *_Nonnull buffer,
  int32_t numFrames,
  int64_t timeoutNanoseconds
)

Read data from the stream.

The call will wait until the read is complete or until it runs out of time. If timeoutNanos is zero then this call will not wait.

Note that timeoutNanoseconds is a relative duration in wall clock time. Time will not stop if the thread is asleep. So it will be implemented using CLOCK_BOOTTIME.

This call is "strong non-blocking" unless it has to wait for data.

If the call times out then zero or a partial frame count will be returned.

Available since API level 26.

Details
Parameters
stream
A stream created using AAudioStreamBuilder_openStream().
buffer
The address of the first sample.
numFrames
Number of frames to read. Only complete frames will be written.
timeoutNanoseconds
Maximum number of nanoseconds to wait for completion.
Returns
The number of frames actually read or a negative error.

AAudioStream_release

Declared in aaudio/AAudio.h
AAUDIO_API aaudio_result_t AAudioStream_release(
  AAudioStream *_Nonnull stream
)

Free the audio resources associated with a stream created by AAudioStreamBuilder_openStream().

AAudioStream_close() should be called at some point after calling this function.

After this call, the stream will be in AAUDIO_STREAM_STATE_CLOSING

This function is useful if you want to release the audio resources immediately, but still allow queries to the stream to occur from other threads. This often happens if you are monitoring stream progress from a UI thread.

NOTE: This function is only fully implemented for MMAP streams, which are low latency streams supported by some devices. On other "Legacy" streams some audio resources will still be in use and some callbacks may still be in process after this call.

Available since API level 30.

Details
Parameters
stream
reference provided by AAudioStreamBuilder_openStream()
Returns
AAUDIO_OK or a negative error.

AAudioStream_requestFlush

Declared in aaudio/AAudio.h
AAUDIO_API aaudio_result_t AAudioStream_requestFlush(
  AAudioStream *_Nonnull stream
)

Asynchronous request for the stream to flush.

Flushing will discard any pending data. This call only works if the stream is OPEN, PAUSED, STOPPED, or FLUSHED. Calling this function when in other states, or calling from an AAudio callback function, will have no effect and an error will be returned. Frame counters are not reset by a flush. They may be advanced. After this call the state will be in AAUDIO_STREAM_STATE_FLUSHING or AAUDIO_STREAM_STATE_FLUSHED.

This will return AAUDIO_ERROR_UNIMPLEMENTED for input streams.

Available since API level 26.

Details
Parameters
stream
reference provided by AAudioStreamBuilder_openStream()
Returns
AAUDIO_OK or a negative error.

AAudioStream_requestPause

Declared in aaudio/AAudio.h
AAUDIO_API aaudio_result_t AAudioStream_requestPause(
  AAudioStream *_Nonnull stream
)

Asynchronous request for the stream to pause.

Pausing a stream will freeze the data flow but not flush any buffers. Use AAudioStream_requestStart() to resume playback after a pause. After this call the state will be in AAUDIO_STREAM_STATE_PAUSING or AAUDIO_STREAM_STATE_PAUSED.

This will return AAUDIO_ERROR_UNIMPLEMENTED for input streams. For input streams use AAudioStream_requestStop().

Available since API level 26.

Details
Parameters
stream
reference provided by AAudioStreamBuilder_openStream()
Returns
AAUDIO_OK or a negative error.

AAudioStream_requestStart

Declared in aaudio/AAudio.h
AAUDIO_API aaudio_result_t AAudioStream_requestStart(
  AAudioStream *_Nonnull stream
)

Asynchronously request to start playing the stream.

For output streams, one should write to the stream to fill the buffer before starting. Otherwise it will underflow. After this call the state will be in AAUDIO_STREAM_STATE_STARTING or AAUDIO_STREAM_STATE_STARTED.

Available since API level 26.

Details
Parameters
stream
reference provided by AAudioStreamBuilder_openStream()
Returns
AAUDIO_OK or a negative error.

AAudioStream_requestStop

Declared in aaudio/AAudio.h
AAUDIO_API aaudio_result_t AAudioStream_requestStop(
  AAudioStream *_Nonnull stream

Available since API level 26.

Details
Parameters
stream
reference provided by AAudioStreamBuilder_openStream()
Returns
AAUDIO_OK or a negative error.

AAudioStream_setBufferSizeInFrames

Declared in aaudio/AAudio.h
AAUDIO_API aaudio_result_t AAudioStream_setBufferSizeInFrames(
  AAudioStream *_Nonnull stream,
  int32_t numFrames
)

This can be used to adjust the latency of the buffer by changing the threshold where blocking will occur.

By combining this with AAudioStream_getXRunCount(), the latency can be tuned at run-time for each device.

This cannot be set higher than AAudioStream_getBufferCapacityInFrames().

Note that you will probably not get the exact size you request. You can check the return value or call AAudioStream_getBufferSizeInFrames() to see what the actual final size is.

  int32_t numFrames,
  int64_t timeoutNanoseconds
)

Write data to the stream.

The call will wait until the write is complete or until it runs out of time. If timeoutNanos is zero then this call will not wait.

Note that timeoutNanoseconds is a relative duration in wall clock time. Time will not stop if the thread is asleep. So it will be implemented using CLOCK_BOOTTIME.

This call is "strong non-blocking" unless it has to wait for room in the buffer.

If the call times out then zero or a partial frame count will be returned.

Available since API level 26.

Details
Parameters
stream
A stream created using AAudioStreamBuilder_openStream().
buffer
The address of the first sample.
numFrames
Number of frames to write. Only complete frames will be written.
timeoutNanoseconds
Maximum number of nanoseconds to wait for completion.
Returns
The number of frames actually written or a negative error.

AAudio_convertResultToText

Declared in aaudio/AAudio.h
AAUDIO_API const char *_Nonnull AAudio_convertResultToText(
  aaudio_result_t returnCode
)

The text is the ASCII symbol corresponding to the returnCode, or an English message saying the returnCode is unrecognized.

This is intended for developers to use when debugging. It is not for display to users.

Available since API level 26.

Returns
pointer to a text representation of an AAudio result code.

AAudio_convertStreamStateToText

Declared in aaudio/AAudio.h
AAUDIO_API const char *_Nonnull AAudio_convertStreamStateToText(
  aaudio_stream_state_t state
)

The text is the ASCII symbol corresponding to the stream state, or an English message saying the state is unrecognized.

This is intended for developers to use when debugging. It is not for display to users.

Available since API level 26.

Details
Returns
pointer to a text representation of an AAudio state.

AAudio_createStreamBuilder

Declared in aaudio/AAudio.h
AAUDIO_API aaudio_result_t AAudio_createStreamBuilder(
  AAudioStreamBuilder *_Nullable *_Nonnull builder
)

Create a StreamBuilder that can be used to open a Stream.

The deviceId is initially unspecified, meaning that the current default device will be used.

The default direction is AAUDIO_DIRECTION_OUTPUT. The default sharing mode is AAUDIO_SHARING_MODE_SHARED. The data format, samplesPerFrames and sampleRate are unspecified and will be chosen by the device when it is opened.

AAudioStreamBuilder_delete() must be called when you are done using the builder.

Available since API level 26.
