how to pause and resume voice recording in android using cordova media plugin


I'm using angularjs in visual studio.using cordova media plugin startRecord() and stopRecord() is working but not able to pause and resume recording.I'm not using media capture plugin as i don't have default recorder installed.

This is my code:

var audurl = '///storage/emulated/0/New/';
audurl += 'Voice_' + '.amr';
var mediaRec;
function recordAudio() {
  mediaRec = new Media(audurl, onSuccess, onError);
  mediaRec.startRecord();
}
function pauseAudio() {
  mediaRec = new Media(audurl, onSuccess, onError);
  mediaRec.pauseRecord();
}

thanks...


Solution

  • On my phone the method media.resumeRecord was not available, although in this soure-code it is defined. Nevertheless you can take advantage of all other methods, like startRecord and stopRecord, to rebuild a kind of resumeRecord function, as it is done in a handler below:

    var myRecordHandler = function () {
    
      // ALL RECORDED FILES ARE SAVED IN THIS ARRAY
      var recordedAudioFiles = [];
    
      // REMEMBER POSITION WHEN PLAYING IS STOPPED
      var currentPosition = {index:0,shift:0};
    
      // PAUSE-MODE
      var paused = false;
    
      // SET A SPECIFC DIRECTORY WHERE THE FILES ARE STORED INTO
      // DEFAULT: ''
      this.setDirectory = function(dir) {this.dir=dir;};
    
      // SET FILENAME
      // DEFAULT: recoredFilesX
      this.setFilename = function(filename) {this.filename=filename;};
    
      // SET MIME/Type of THE FILES; 
      // DEFAULT: mp3
      this.setFileType = function(type) {this.filetype=type;};
    
      // GET ALL RECORED FILES 
      this.getAllFiles = function() {return recordedAudioFiles;};
    
      // STOP/PAUSE RECORDED FILES
      var handleRecordedFileHold = function () {
        for (var r = 0; r < recordedAudioFiles.length; r++) {
    
          var recordedAudioFile = recordedAudioFiles[r];
    
          if(recordedAudioFile.isBeingRecorded){
             if(paused)recordedAudioFile.media.pause();
             else recordedAudioFile.media.stop();
             continue;
          }
    
          recordedAudioFile.duration = new Date().getTime() - recordedAudioFile.startTime;
          // call release to free this created file so that it could get deleted for instance
          recordedAudioFile.media.stopRecord();
          recordedAudioFile.media.release();
          recordedAudioFile.isBeingRecorded = true;
        }
      } 
    
      // START RECORDING
      this.startAudioRecording = function() {
    
        paused = false;
        handleRecordedFileHold();
    
        var dir = this.dir ? this.dir : '';
        var filename = this.filename ? this.filename : 'recoredFiles';
        var type = this.filetype ? this.filetype : 'mp3';
    
        var src = dir + filename + (recordedAudioFiles.length + 1) + '.' + type;
        var mediaRec = new Media(src, 
           function () {
             console.log('recordAudio():Audio Success');
           }, 
           function (err) {
             console.log('recordAudio():Audio Error: ' + err.code);
        });
        recordedAudioFiles.push({
          media: mediaRec,
          startTime: new Date().getTime()
        });
        mediaRec.startRecord();
      } 
    
      // PAUSE RECORDING
      this.pauseRecoredFiles = function () {
        if(recordedAudioFiles.length){
           paused = true;
           clearTimeout(currentPosition.timeout);
           handleRecordedFileHold();
           var recoredMedia = recordedAudioFiles[currentPosition.index].media;
           recoredMedia.getCurrentPosition(
               function (position) {
                  currentPosition.shift = position;
               },
               function (e) {
                  console.log("Error getting pos=" + e);
               }
           );
        }
      } 
    
      // PLAY RECORD
      this.playRecordedFiles = function () {
        handleRecordedFileHold();
        var playNextFile = function () {
          var recoredMedia = recordedAudioFiles[currentPosition.index];
          if (recoredMedia) {
            if(paused){
              recoredMedia.media.seekTo(currentPosition.shift*1000);
              paused = false;
            }
            recoredMedia.media.play();
            currentPosition.timeout = setTimeout(function () {
              currentPosition.index++;
              recoredMedia.media.stop();
              playNextFile();
            }, recoredMedia.duration ? recoredMedia.duration : 0);
          }
          else{
            paused = false;
            currentPosition.index = currentPosition.shift = 0;
          }
        };
        playNextFile();
      } 
    
      // RESET PLAY
      this.stopRecordedFiles = function () {
        currentPosition.index = currentPosition.shift = 0;
        clearTimeout(currentPosition.timeout);
        handleRecordedFileHold();
      }
    
      // REMOVE ALL RECORDED FILES 
      this.removeRecordedFiles = function() {
        paused = false;
        currentPosition.index = currentPosition.shift = 0;
        clearTimeout(currentPosition.timeout);
        handleRecordedFileHold();
        recordedAudioFiles = [];
      }
    
    };
    
    var handler = new myRecordHandler();
    
    // you can use this handler in your functions like this:
    function recordAudio() {
      // records one track and stops former track if there is one
      handler.startAudioRecording();
    }
    
    function playAudio() {
      handler.playRecordedFiles();
    }
    
    function pauseAudio() {
      handler.pauseRecoredFiles();
    }
    
    function resumeAudio() {
      pauseAudio();
      recordAudio();
    }
    
    function stopAudio() {
      handler.stopRecordedFiles();
    }
    

    Although I could not test your directory/filenames, because I do not have this directory created on my phone, these methods might help you to to store your files in a specific directory as well as with certain filenames:

    handler.setDirectory('__YOUR_DIR__');
    
    handler.setFilename('__YOUR_FILENAME__');
    
    handler.setFileType('__YOUR_FILETYPE__');
