So I am making a responsive audio waveform, if you don't know what that is, it is something like this: (btw this is my goal to make those audio waveforms).

I don't know how to describe it, so just look at the videos and image.

but my question is, how do I get the values from the "AudioSpectrumListener", it has a lambda expression.
And I need the value of the magnitude. So I can print out the values.
Later I will use the values to make rectangles and that rectangles will change height shape because of the changing value from the magnitude.

I looked at some examples and tutorials, here are some:
jnlps://download.oracle.com/otndocs/products/javafx/8/samples/Ensemble/Ensemble.jnlp
https://victor-fx.blogspot.com/2017/08/audio-visualization-in-javafx.html

as you can see, I used animation timer, because the "AudioSpectrumInterval" is on 60, that means it updates 60 times in a second.
I can use a for a loop too, but it will print out the same values about a couple of times, or even more than that.

I just need the magnitudes to be accesable from the whole class.
(btw, I am going to remove animationtimer

The last link you posted explains how to get and understand the magnitudes, so what exactly is your question?

I just want to System.out.println(magnitudes[i]);
in the start method, but how do I even do that?
I tried this:

import javafx.application.Application;

            correctedMagnitude[i] = magnitudes[i] - audioMP.getAudioSpectrumThreshold();
            //System.out.println(correctedMagnitude[i]);
        }
    }

    @Override
    public void start(Stage primaryStage) throws Exception {
        groupS = new Group();
        mainS = new Scene(groupS, WIDTH, HEIGHT, Color.DEEPPINK);
        window = primaryStage;
        window.setScene(mainS);
        window.setTitle(TITLE);
        window.show();

        // setup media
        Media audioMedia = new Media(AUDIO_URI);
        audioMP = new MediaPlayer(audioMedia);
        audioMP.setAudioSpectrumListener(this);
        play();

        //correctedMagnitude[5], why 5, because I chosed a random number.
        System.out.println(correctedMagnitude[5]);
    }

    //audioMP.setVolume(0.02); is low, because I just like to listen in low volume while I listen to other music. (:
    public void play() {
        audioMP.play();
        audioMP.setVolume(0.02);
        audioMP.setAudioSpectrumInterval(60.0);
        audioMP.setAudioSpectrumNumBands(256);
    }

    public void stop() {
        System.out.println("program exited");
    }

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        launch(args);
    }
}

I don't want to use charts.

here is my Error:

there is a audiobarchart.

You can’t print those values in the start method. Start runs once and is finished before the music starts playing.
You can only access the values via the spectrum listener when the listener is called.

ps: you may want to have the listener called more that once per minute ;)

commented: how do I see when listener is called +0
commented: The old PRINT A; A=1: issue. Why did A print? +15

how do I see when listener is called

OK, you seem to be missing some basic understanding here. It's just like using a listener for someone pressing a button.

You have set this as a audio spectrum listener. Which means:

  • this contains a spectrumDataUpdate listener method
  • when the media is playing JavaFX will reguarly call your spectrumDataUpdate method at the interval you have requested (60 seconds!) passing it the audio spectrum data for the latest interval.
  • In your spectrumDataUpdate method you do whatever you want with that data, eg correct the magnitudes and pass it to another method that displays it

PS: You may want to set a lower interval. The default is 0.1 seconds.

pps: It's best if you reply with a new post rather than a comment because new comments don't get prioretised in the "latest posts" listing that I'm monitoring.

yes! Now I can finally use the values :D

this is my code:

I thought if I set the interval to 60, I thought it would update 60 times per second and I didn't noticed it

length of mag = 256
program exited

Looks like some very quiet music. (those numbers are deciBels)
While testing it will be more manageable if you have (say) 8 bands rather than 256.

I thought if I set the interval to 60, I thought it would update 60 times per second

I guessed that was the case. It's a really good example of why you should ALWAYS read the API doc for any method you're not familiar with.

I got a error from this: "public static String AUDIO_URI = AWF_Core.class.getResource(AUDIO_FILE).toExternalForm();"
I made a new class, so the code looks more cleaner and readable.
but unfortunatly I don't know what happened?

I got a error:

that v7 -> v1 is not accidental. I just made a new package in v7.
if I placed the class just in v7, the error is gone and the music can play, but if the class is inside of v7.v1 then I get that error.

if I placed the class just in v7, the error is gone and the music can play, but if the class is inside of v7.v1 then I get that error.

Then just place the class in v7! Faffing around with IDEs just a distraction from learning a language or API.

ps: putting JavaFX code in init() is generally a bad idea. The JavaFX environment is not fully ready at that time. You are much safer ignoring init()and putting everything in start(...)

This is what I right now have:
Right now I am facing how to make these rectangles make more reactive like they change about 60 pixels maximal higher and I want to make it more than 60 pixels. Now I don't have a question this is just an update for my code.
