How can I recude the delay between startListening() and requestbody()?

[skypiri]

When I pressed mic button to send audio data to alexa server, there is a delay about 1.5 sec.
I added two debug log message startListening() and reqeustbody() like below.
The real pcm audio data is sent to the server using sinkWrite().
But the first audio data is sent to the server after 1.5 sec when I pressed button.
The time gap between two debug messages is about 1.5 sec.
How can I reduce this delay?

I'll put the source code to show where I added log messages and adb log message to show timestamp.

@OverRide public void startListening() { Log.d(TAG, "start to alexa avs"); // Here is 1st message if(recorder == null){ recorder = new RawAudioRecorder(AUDIO_RATE); } recorder.start(); alexaManager.sendAudioRequest(requestBody, getRequestCallback()); }

private DataRequestBody requestBody = new DataRequestBody() {
    @Override
    public void writeTo(BufferedSink sink) throws IOException {

        Log.d(TAG, "requestBody is run....."); // Here is 2nd message
        while (recorder != null && !recorder.isPausing()) {
            if(recorder != null) {
                final float rmsdb = recorder.getRmsdb();
                if(recorderView != null) {
                    recorderView.post(new Runnable() {
                        @Override
                        public void run() {
                            recorderView.setRmsdbLevel(rmsdb);
                        }
                    });
                }
                if(sink != null && recorder != null) {
                    sink.write(recorder.consumeRecording());
                }
                if(BuildConfig.DEBUG){
                    Log.i(TAG, "Received audio");
                    Log.i(TAG, "RMSDB: " + rmsdb);
                }
            }

In request body, thread check is user_logged_in, if yes then get Access Token and make audio request, You can write separate function by removing above steps. make sure you handle callback request properly via your own function.

if(recorder == null){ recorder = new RawAudioRecorder(AUDIO_RATE); }

How long does this command take?

Check auth should be near instant (grabbing a shared prefs value) unless your token has expired and needs a refresh--then it'll do a full update of token.

I just checked my production app and I have a ~100ms delay between before opening the recorder and the first write to my DataRequestBody.
