How can I get frequency data from PCM using FFT

Question

I have an array of audio data I am passing to a reader:

 recorder.read(audioData,0,bufferSize); 

The instantiation is as follows:

Answer 1

PCM is the technique of encoding data. It's not relevant to getting frequency analysis of audio data using FFT. If you use Java to decode PCM encoded data you will get raw audio data which can then be passed to your FFT library.
