We want to record a voice memo with the Blackberry 8700.
The only way to do this is to use the Audio class.
Is that right? After recording the memo it should be possible
to edit the memo (overwrite, append or insert).
We need a method to play only chunks of the memo (Audio-Streaming) .
The Audio class can only play the whole memo. So if you stop playing you
never know the play position.

Can anybody help us ?

To the best of my knowledge it is not possible on the 8700. The only BlackBerry devices to support Voice memos (Voicenotes) is the 7520 and 7100i.

The Audio class requires you to specify the codec (AUDIO_CODEC_VOICENOTE ) and AUDIO_CODEC_VOICENOTE is IDEN only - as per javadocs.

What´s about the following example code from the Java ME MMAPI Packages:

try {
// Create a Player that captures live audio.
Player p = Manager.createPlayer("capture://audio");
p.realize();
// Get the RecordControl, set the record stream,
// start the Player and record for 5 seceonds.
RecordControl rc = (RecordControl)p.getControl("RecordControl");
ByteArrayOutputStream output = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
rc.setRecordStreatm(output);
rc.startRecord();
p.start();
Thread.currentThread().sleep(5000);
rc.commit();
p.close;
} catch (IOException ioe) {
} catch (MediaException me) {
} catch (InterruptedException ie) {}

Does anyone know if this works on the 8700 ?

I would bet that

Player p = Manager.createPlayer("capture://audio");

throws a MediaException - Cannot create player.

The MMAPI is very generic and up to the device manufacturers implementation whether the feature (i.e. capture://audio) is supported or not.

But again you won't know for sure until you actually try it on the device.
