I would like to know whether some tool exists to create a virtual microphone on Android.

For example, when I connect my headset, my phone uses the microphone on the headset. Instead, I want to be able to:

  • specify a file to be read as the virtual microphone's input stream
  • alternatively, specify the input from another device

I've heard these sort of things are impossible due to hardware restrictions, but I feel like there should be a way to create virtual devices which can emulate a real microphone.

What library, API, app, or software can I use to create a virtual microphone in Android?

  • It exactly fits the help center requirements!! I have defined a purpose and some objective requirements and looking for Android libraries (software) to accomplish my task! It's not code related or too specific! – Arijoon Aug 25 '14 at 11:01

  • Hi Arijoon, I think your question can be reworded to get reopened. Asking if something is possible, and asking for documentation, is off-topic here. Currently, your question would attract answers that provide links to documentation and explanations/discussions how to implement it. But we want answers that recommend specific software(s). Don’t care if it’s technically possible, directly ask what you need, e.g.: "I’m looking for a library that […]". -- Please edit your question, then we can try to reopen it. (-- All this is only my opinion about your question, though.) – unor Aug 26 '14 at 5:51

    ok thanks for the reponse. Also thanks to ComFreek for seeking more information regarding this closure. I asked this question on StackOverflow and someone said, it should have been asked here. – Arijoon Aug 26 '14 at 9:06
