Using Oboe in your app? Add it here and we'll list it on the apps page

[philburk]

We need to test AAudio and Oboe on various devices. So if YOU have published an app that uses Oboe, please add a comment to this Issue. Include a link to the Play Store. Thanks!

See list here.

As a start, there are some apps in this repo. Also

1. GStomper uses AAudio.
2. CSound for Android uses Oboe

Also JUCE is using Oboe in experimental mode so that may be some apps there.

n-Track Studio supports AAudio directly. It currently defaults to OpenSLES but AAudio can be selected in the Settings box.

Hello Sir, Its an honor to talk to you.

I am the developer of app named Harmonium
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=harmonium.music.gameg.real.harmoniumfree
It has many users at least 100,000 current users with oboe

I want to help, but don't want the app to be listed on oboe page (not yet), once oboe is in stable version you can list my app on oboe page if you like.

Note from philburk - a long bug report was moved to to #227 so that we can address that issue.

[planethcom]

Thanks a lot Phil, for adding G-Stomper to the list 👍

Are those VolcanoMobile apps really using Oboe or AAudio? I'm asking, because their source code never references either of those. (see https://github.com/VolcanoMobile/fluidsynth-android for reference)

[WrobelKrakow]

Hello,

I rewrite Music Player in Best Piano to use Oboe instead of Sound Pool.
This app has more than 250k monthly installs.

You can add it to list.

Good question. The answer is yes.

I'm asking, because their source code never references either of those.

Perhaps the developer has not posted the most recent code on GitHub. Here is how you can verify the use of AAudio.

I ran 'adb logcat' while using Volcano Mobile OPL3 Synth and saw:
11-07 18:09:02.101 23777 23790 D AAudio : AAudioStreamBuilder_openStream() returns 0 = AAUDIO_OK for (0x7e770b8000) ----------------

So it is definitely calling AAudio.

I then ran VolcanoMobile FluidSynth and saw:
11-07 18:11:29.292 913 941 I ActivityManager: Start proc 24760:net.volcanomobile.fluidsynthmidi/u0a136 for service net.volcanomobile.fluidsynthmidi/.MidiSynth
11-07 18:11:29.420 24760 24773 D OboeAudio: AAudioLoader(): dlopen(libaaudio.so) returned 0xa16a557d02d13931
11-07 18:11:29.432 24760 24773 D AAudio : AAudioStreamBuilder_openStream() returns 0 = AAUDIO_OK for (0x7e7705cc00) ----------------

So it is calling Oboe, which calls AAudio.

I triggered these apps by launching the Mobileer MIDI Keyboard app and selecting them from the "Receivers" menu:

I rewrite Music Player in Best Piano to use Oboe instead of Sound Pool.

I installed the version from November 7th on my Pixel XL.
I entered: adb logcat | grep -i audio
and then ran "Best Piano".

I did not see any "AAudio" messages. I only saw AudioTrack messages.
I looked in Settings but did not see a way to enable it.

I've set:
#define OBOE_ENABLE_AAUDIO 0
to disable AAUDIO because I was thinking i may causes crashes.
In next update I will turn it on.

[philburk]

disable AAUDIO because I was thinking i may causes crashes.

You are seeing crashes on 6.0, 7.0, 7.1, 8.0. They do not have AAudio. So Oboe will use OpenSL ES.

In new version Best Piano available on PlayStore is now using Oboe with AAudio.

Hi,

We're releasing a series of music education apps using Oboe this week:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/developer?id=Les+Talens+Lyriques

Julien

[julioz]

SoundCloud is using Oboe as well. We also wrote about the integration.

[dturner]

Thanks very much for the write up 👍 Added SoundCloud to the list of apps using Oboe.

[erincdemir]

Hey,
Don't forget to add my app 😂:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.minitunes

Google Oboe implemented in version 2.0
Thanks again to Oboe Team
Erinç

[dturner]

Done, thanks for letting us know.

[barsoosayque]

I've written an oboe wrapper (though it isn't fully complete yet) for libGDX. Here be the link.
Thought that perhaps this may be useful for some people lurking in the wild net trying to replace the default libGDX android audio module.

[philburk]

@barsoosayque - thanks! libGDX Oboe added.

[atsushieno]

Fluidsynth 2.1 is released, which is the first stable version that supports Oboe: https://github.com/FluidSynth/fluidsynth/releases/tag/v2.1.0

[philburk]

@atsushieno - thanks, I added FluidSynth to AppsUsingOboe

[barsoosayque]

Sorry to bother again, but I recently moved my library from gitlab to github, and I kindly ask you to change libGDX Oboe link to barsoosayque/libgdx-oboe (since I want to remove the gitlab repo in month or so, and it would be nice to prevent confusion with broken links).

[kheldiente]

Hi all,
I've released a piano rhythm game called Pinoy Piano: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=kheldiente.midien.pinoypiano&hl=en. I believe this is using the 1.2-stable release. I'm planning to bump it to 1.3-stable soon. Thanks oboe team!

[philburk]

Thanks - I updated libGDX and added Pinoy Piano

[rpattabi]

Please consider adding Pocket Shruti Box. It is using oboe since v2.3.0. In our case, pure data is accessing audio device through oboe. We still provide a way to switch to opensl engine as a fallback (Menu > Audio Issues? > Old Engine). We call oboe as "New Engine" in that dialog.

This is the first step of integrating oboe into our apps. Pocket Shruti Box only uses output stream, though we don't have much issues with opensl engine. We hope to upgrade to oboe to our other app Shruti Carnatic Tuner which uses both input and output streams and has glitchy playback on certain devices through old opensl engine. We think switching to oboe this will help address device specific issues.

[mikedotalmond]

Quieter, Calm - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=quieter.app.calm

Uses Oboe for the all the audio synthesis and effects.

Hi,

I'm developing the hXarp - a dynamic and expressive touchscreen musical instrument. It uses Oboe for onboard sound synthesis/playback.

I used to use AAudio directly but switched to Oboe because of the example implementations of best practices!

[robertwu1]

Added hXarp to apps.

[philburk]

@Laubsaugervertreter - I tried hXarp. Cool app. I have some feedback and bug reports. Contact me at philburk at google if interested.

Hi,
I'm developing the WeSing app, in which the users can sing free songs by the app.
I have already used the oboe on the low-performance phone to play the accompaniment, record the voice, and feedback.
But WeSing is using the oboe in experimental mode, and which users can use the oboe to sing songs is controlled by Server.
May I provide the WeSing apk to you to test the oboe on various devices?

[robertwu1]

@wjbAndroid WeSing seems very popular. Feel free to send me the apk. My email is robertwu at google.

Hi,

Recently released my app UOSO which is a training app for musicians that is 3 apps in one

• A Practice Track App ( Active Backing Tracks - Set the key, bpm and scale/diatonic mode )
• A Metronome App ( 1200 BPM )

Great thanks Robert

Hi, I've created a guitar effects processor called Amp Rack. It's a LADSPA / LV2 Host for Android and includes over 300 plugins.

It uses Oboe for audio processing.

Play Store URL:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.shajikhan.ladspa.amprack

Source:
https://github.com/djshaji/amp-rack

Oboe provides the lowest possible latency and best possible performance on even low end devices, hence the best choice for audio programming on Android 👍

[meteaurestudios]

Hi,

I've just released my app Polaris, a sampler / groovebox using Oboe, which works as a charm !

Added Amp Rack and Polaris to apps.

Hi there
Could you please update the link to the developer page behind "G-Stomper apps" in the list at https://github.com/google/oboe/wiki/AppsUsingOboe ?

Due to technical issues with our 13 year old developer account, we had to set up a new one and transfer all our apps to the new account.

Currently the link behind "G-Stomper apps" points to:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/dev?id=5200192441928542082

New it must point to our new developer page at:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/dev?id=5328431729845821824

Thanks a lot in advance.

[philburk]

I updated the G-Stomper link as requested.
