Access storage when recording audio

[app_developer6100 (Emerson Crozier)]

I am building an app that records audio. When I click the record button (which starts the recording), it only asks to use the audio permission but it also should asks to use storage to save the audio file. How do I ask to use the storage permission?

Thanks in advance.

When I click the record button (which starts the recording), it only asks to use the audio permission but it also should asks to use storage to save the audio file.

After the audio has been recorded, the file must be saved somewhere. Usually in: storage/emulated/0/myRecords/ (or …/Download/ or …/Music/ or …).
storage/emulated/0/ is the root directory of the SD card that requires WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE permission. Therefore you / the user will be ask to grant this permission.

When I use the directories you suggested, it gives me an 802 error and says that there is no such folder. How can I make a prompt that asks for storage access?

Thanks for the help.

Show your (relevant) blocks.

These are the blocks I’m using. I am using the sound recorder and button blocks.

If the folder does not exist, it first must be created. Use the File component for this:

Note: You must ask for WRITE permission manually:

Thanks for the quick reply. Can I ask for two permissions at once? Right now, if I ask to write external storage and use the microphone, it will only ask for the permission listed first.

Daily Challenge #46

As I feared / expected, there are no solutions from the forum. It’s really tricky to deal with that, and should be reason enough for the Kodular team to take care of it. Here is one of my (workaround) solutions: Challenge_46_solution.apk (5.1 MB) [blocks]

If you set .SaveRecording eg to:
/storage/emulated/0/Music/myRec.3gp
then of course each recording will be overwriten.

Try something like this:

Then you will get:
myRec1.3gp
myRec2.3gp
…

(show your blocks)

Try something like this:

Then you will get:
myRec1.3gp
myRec2.3gp

Or like this by using clock

How to save ScreenShots using filename?

at some point the image will be overwritten if you use this [bild] use the clock component instead and you will get somewhat unique number for each image. [bild] /Boban

Thank you all for your help, it was useful to understand how it works.

But right now I have a problem where I am trying to listen to the audio I just recorded but I can’t.

I’m using the exoplayer, i set the source to the file path just recorded, I created the directory, before creating the directory it gave an error, now it ‘plays’, but I hear nothing.

Thanks if you will help.

Which error? Show your blocks.

[MaxB (Massimo Ricciuti)]

couldn’t access the file cause there was no directory looks like, but now as i said it gives no error but i hear no sound

[bodymindpower (Anke)]

Set the ExoPlayer.Source in the Button_Invia block, like this:

Thanks, that helped and solved it.

Wow, on kodular even the forum is bugged, i keep receveing notification from this post of the same reply.

Maybe it’s a sign since I’m not receiving any answer anywhere to ask here if you know a way to upload and categorize 3gp files, cloudinary doesn’t let me directly and easily categorize it, I tried airtable but I can’t let it work and create a new row, I don’t know why.

I tried firebase storage and it looks like there is a bug for everyone, from what I discovered it sets the bucket to makeroid-companion.appxyz… for everyone and we don’t have access to it.

Kodular offers many options, but they don’t really work ^^?

Are you talking about this:

Notification issue from Kodular forum

I have probably received the following (always the same) notifications more than 50 times in the past two days. [grafik] I appreciate notifications from Boban or whoever (in my case only from Boban), but if I get the same thing every 5 minutes (!) that I’ve already got a hundred times before, it gets really annoying. @KodularCreator Will there be a solution to this issue?
