I know how to record an audio file.

please help me.

You need to:

implement onTouchListener for your button
start recording at on action down event
stop recording and save to file on action up event.

example:

button.setOnTouchListener(new OnTouchListener() {
    @Override
    public boolean onTouch(View v, MotionEvent event) {
       if(event.getAction() == MotionEvent.ACTION_DOWN){
            // start recording.
            return true;
        }
        if(event.getAction() == MotionEvent.ACTION_UP){
            // Stop recording and save file
            return true;
        }
        return false;
    }
});
