Audio Recording with Appcelerator on Android
- by user951793
I would like to record audio and then send the file to a webserver. I am using Titanium 1.8.2 on Win7.
The application I am woring on is both for Android and iphone and I do realise that Titanium.Media.AudioRecorder and Titanium.Media.AudioPlayer are for these purpose. Let's concentrate on android for a while.
On that platform you can achieve audio recording by creating an intent and then you handle the file in your application. See more here. This implementation has a couple of drawbacks:
You cannot stay in your application (as a native audio recorder will start up)
You only get back an uri from the recorder and not the actual file.
Another implementation is done by Codeboxed. This module is for recording an audio without using intents. The only problem that I could not get this working (along with other people) and the codeboxed team does not respond to anyone since last year.
So my question is: Do you know how to record audio on android without using an intent?
Thanks in advance.
Edit:
My problem with codeboxed's module:
I downloaded the module from here.
I copied the zip file into my project directory.
I edited my manifest file with:
<modules>
<module platform="android" version="0.1">com.codeboxed.audiorecorder</module>
</modules>
When I try and compile I receive the following error:
[DEBUG] appending module: com.mwaysolutions.barcode.TitaniumBarcodeModule
[DEBUG] module_id = com.codeboxed.audiorecorder
[ERROR] The 'apiversion' for 'com.codeboxed.audiorecorder' in the module manifest is not a valid value. Please use a version of the module that has an 'apiversion' value of 2 or greater set in it's manifest file
[DEBUG] touching tiapp.xml to force rebuild next time: E:\TitaniumProjects\MyProject\tiapp.xml
I can manage to recognise the module by editing the module's manifest file to this:
`
version: 0.1
description: My module

guid: 747dce68-7d2d-426a-a527-7c67f4e9dfad

But Then again I receive error on compiling:
