Audiorecord While Also Playing Audio - Accessing Output Playback Data

I'm messing around in my app with a custom model for speech commands - I have it working fine recording and processing input audio from an AudioRecord, and I give feedback to the u

Answers to 1 & 2: You want AcousticEchoCanceler.

A short lecture on why "deleting the speaker audio from the microphone input" input is a non-trivial task that takes substantial signal processing knowledge: It's more complicated than just time-shifting the speaker audio a little bit and subtracting it from the mic input. The fact is, the spectrum of the audio changes drastically even as it leaves the speaker (most tiny speakers have a very peaky response centered around 3-4KHz). The audio may bounce off multiple objects (walls, etc.) before it gets back to the mic (multipath interference). Different frequency components interfere at the microphone in different, impossible to predict ways, vastly changing the spectrum of the audio. And by the way -- if anything in the room moves, say, if you put your hand near the phone -- everything changes. That is why you don't want to try to write your own echo cancellation filter. Android has provided one for you, so you can write cool speakerphone apps and such.
