LiveCode Forums

hi all.
i'm developing a multi-platform application, sort of custom ebook reader for kids.
one of the feature should allow the user to record audio notes.
no problems on osx/win using livecode commands.
no problems on iOS using monte's external.
but on android… i can't find a tool to do that .

i know in the past others asked for the same, with no luck.
still no way to get it working?
any advice?

Hi Rmuzzini,

Unfortunately, audio recording for Android is something that is not yet implemented within LiveCode.

More information on the progress of Android externals can be found within the following newsletter article-

Or if you wish to have the feature considered for direct implementation in Livecode, please file an enhancement request with our quality control team here-

thank you for your reply, Neil.

Hi,
I would be curious if this feature is perhaps coming with LC 8 ? It would be handy...

I remember that monte created an audio recording app for android. At least I think he did. He for sure did for iOS. If i find the android version i will let you know.

Here it is. It is old so who knows if this works. But give it a spin and see if you can get it to work.

Hi Will,
thanks a lot for sharing the external. I just wonder if it is working for android, since the read-me file says:
"mergMicrophone is a basic wrapper around the iOS AVAudioRecorder class, enabling audio recording to be performed in iOS applications."

I did not get it working on Android right away, but I wasn't encouraged by the read-me note to spent a lot of time fiddling around. Could you verify that it was intended for Android? It would be really great if it would work. I need to make an app that geotags voice recordings.

Thanks!
Oliver

If it doesn't explicity say for Android, then it is not for Android. I'm not sure where the Android version is then. Maybe someone else on the forum knows.

I guess this thread is solved as soon as the 2nd stretch goal of the infinite livecode campaign will be delivered. Thanks for pledging! Oiver

old thread, noticed a reference to stretch goals, did this ever get done?
