Oboe

Oboe is not yet ready for use. This repo is intended for Oboe developers only.

Oboe is a C++ library which makes it easy to build high-performance audio apps on Android. It was created primarily to allow developers to target a single audio API, instead of both OpenSL ES (API 9+) and AAudio (API 26+).

To get started please read the getting started guide.

Oboe is not an official Google product.

Note: This version of Oboe only supports playback (output) streams. Support for recording (input) streams is in active development.

Features

  • Compatible with API 16 onwards - runs on 99% of Android devices
  • Chooses the audio API (OpenSL ES on API 16+ or AAudio on API 26+) which will give the best audio performance on the target Android device
  • Automatic latency tuning
  • Modern C++ allowing you to write clean, elegant code

Requirements

To build Oboe you will need the Android NDK r16 or above

Documentation

Sample code

Example apps can be found in the Android high-performance audio repository
