is it possible to determine whether the microphone is already switched on or in use by an other application?

Try this,
Try this: 
Sub Class_Globals
    Private Root As B4XView
    Private XUI As XUI
End Sub

Public Sub Initialize
'    B4XPages.GetManager.LogEvents = True
End Sub

'This event will be called once, before the page becomes visible.
Private Sub B4XPage_Created (Root1 As B4XView)
    Root = Root1
    Root.LoadLayout("MainPage")
End Sub

'You can see the list of page related events in the B4XPagesManager object. The event name is B4XPage.

Private Sub Button1_Click
    Dim AudioManager As JavaObject
        AudioManager.InitializeContext
        AudioManager = AudioManager.RunMethod("getSystemService", Array("audio"))
    Dim Mode As Int = AudioManager.RunMethod("getMode", Null)
  
    If Mode = 3 Or Mode = 2 Then ' MODE_IN_COMMUNICATION = 3, MODE_IN_CALL = 2
        Log(True)
    Else
        Log(False)
    End If
End Sub


Enjoy...

Hello,

Here are my test results

Test results: 
Logger connected to:  Google Pixel 7 Pro
--------- beginning of main
Copying updated assets files (1)
*** Service (starter) Create ***
** Service (starter) Start **
** Activity (main) Create (first time) **
Call B4XPages.GetManager.LogEvents = True to enable logging B4XPages events.
** Activity (main) Resume **
false
** Activity (main) Pause event (activity is not paused). **
** Activity (main) Resume **
true
** Activity (main) Pause event (activity is not paused). **

First I ran the test app and pressed the button with the code, the result was false as it should be, the mic is not being used. I then rang by business phone via WhatsApp from my test phone, with WhatsApp connected I went back to the test app and pressed the button with the code again, the result was true as it should be as the mic is being used by WhatsApp. I also get the exact same result if I just call my business phone normally via my test phones normal number pad.

I can't say much more than that.


Enjoy...

I tried that... but even when I switch on the ‘dictation machine’ and speak, the output is always false
