Frequency detection on Android - AudioRecord

Question

This is my second question because i hawe a problem. I've to implement a simple Frequency detection on Android. For the DFT i've found the jTransform library (https://sites.google.com/site/piotrwendykier/software/jtransforms).

In the API of jTransform http://incanter.org/docs/parallelcolt/api/edu/emory/mathcs/jtransforms/fft/DoubleFFT_1D.html#complexForward%28double%5B%5D%29 i had seen that i've to pass a double vector at the complexForward() method, and obliviously not a File.

So, for first, it's correct what I thought? And so, that i can't use the MediaRecorder, because it generate a File? I need a buffer, then i use AudioRecorder.

But here's the problem: i can't initialize the AudioRecorder Object with no one configuration.

The findAudioRecord() try all possible configurations to initialized the AudioRecord and at the first working configurations the methods end (for the return). But it end, and return null.

Really, i can't understand the problem. It's possible that is my phone?

Thanks for your help! and sorry for my english...
