wav-recorder

Introduction

PhoneGap Cordova Plugin for Android Platform. Records uncompressed audio data to disk as WAV format. The audio buffer is accessible from the webview, thus it is possible ro render to the client the audio data in real time.

Installation

Using the Cordova Command-line Interface:

cordova plugin add https://github.com/petrica/wav-recorder.git

Initialize Recorder

var recorder = new martinescu.Recorder(src, [config], [statusCallback], [bufferCallback]);

• src - file to write the audio data to, you should use Recorder.location() to work out the exact path after creation
• config - configure capture format
  • sampleRate - sample rate: 44100, 22050, 11025, 8000
  • channels - for now only single channel recording is available: 1 or 2
  • encoding - this is the bit rate of the recording: 8 or 16
• statusCallback - callback for recorder status change, including errors. Receives two parameters: first is the status code, the second is the error message, on error.
• bufferCallback - callback for receiving the current recorder raw audio data

Sample Initialization

// status callback 
var statusCallback = function (mediaStatus, error) {
  if (martinescu.Recorder.STATUS_ERROR == mediaStatus) {
    alert(error);
  }
}

// buffer callback
var bufferCallback = function (buffer) {
  console.log(buffer);
}

var recorder = new martinescu.Recorder('/record.wav', { sampleRate: 22050 }, statusCallback, bufferCallback);

Start Recording

Start recording audio data:

recorder.record();

Stop recording

recorder.stop();

Record for a fixed amount of time

recorder.recordForMillis(durationMilliseconds);

Use the statusCallback to determine when the audio recording has stopped.

Get file location

Find the path of the created wav file as a local absolute path

recorder.location();

Release Recorder

When done with the recorder, call release() in order to free allocated memory.

recorder.release();

Media Status

Recorder.STATUS_INITIALIZING = 'INITIALIZING';
Recorder.STATUS_READY = 'READY';
Recorder.STATUS_RECORDING = 'RECORDING';
Recorder.STATUS_ERROR = 'ERROR';
Recorder.STATUS_STOPPED = 'STOPPED';
