Breaking Changes

There has been vast improvements in #114 which is released in 2.3.0. We now support all RN versions without any version differenciating. See below installation guide for your understanding.

Getting started

$ npm install react-native-audio-recorder-player --save

Mostly automatic installation

Using React Native >= 0.60

Linking the package manually is not required anymore with Autolinking.

iOS Platform:

$ cd ios && pod install && cd .. # CocoaPods on iOS needs this extra step

Android Platform with Android Support:

Using Jetifier tool for backward-compatibility.

Modify your android/build.gradle configuration:

buildscript {
  ext {
    buildToolsVersion = "28.0.3"
    minSdkVersion = 16
    compileSdkVersion = 28
    targetSdkVersion = 28
    # Only using Android Support libraries
    supportLibVersion = "28.0.0"
  }

Android Platform with AndroidX:

Modify your android/build.gradle configuration:

buildscript {
  ext {
    buildToolsVersion = "28.0.3"
    minSdkVersion = 16
    compileSdkVersion = 28
    targetSdkVersion = 28
    # Remove 'supportLibVersion' property and put specific versions for AndroidX libraries
    androidXAnnotation = "1.1.0"
    androidXBrowser = "1.0.0"
    // Put here other AndroidX dependencies
  }

Using React Native < 0.60

$ react-native link react-native-audio-recorder-player

Manual installation

iOS

In XCode, in the project navigator, right click Libraries ➜ Add Files to [your project's name]
Go to node_modules ➜ react-native-audio-recorder-player and add RNAudioRecorderPlayer.xcodeproj
In XCode, in the project navigator, select your project. Add libRNAudioRecorderPlayer.a to your project's Build Phases ➜ Link Binary With Libraries
Run your project (Cmd+R)<

Android

Open up android/app/src/main/java/[...]/MainApplication.java

Add import com.dooboolab.RNAudioRecorderPlayerPackage; to the imports at the top of the file
Add new RNAudioRecorderPlayerPackage() to the list returned by the getPackages() method

Append the following lines to android/settings.gradle:

include ':react-native-audio-recorder-player'
project(':react-native-audio-recorder-player').projectDir = new File(rootProject.projectDir, 	'../node_modules/react-native-audio-recorder-player/android')

Insert the following lines inside the dependencies block in android/app/build.gradle:
```
  compile project(':react-native-audio-recorder-player')
```

Post installation

On iOS you need to add a usage description to Info.plist:

<key>NSMicrophoneUsageDescription</key>
<string>This sample uses the microphone to record your speech and convert it to text.</string>

On Android you need to add a permission to AndroidManifest.xml:

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.RECORD_AUDIO" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE" />

Also, android above Marshmallow needs runtime permission to record audio. Using react-native-permissions will help you out with this problem. Below is sample usage before when started the recording.

if (Platform.OS === 'android') {
  try {
    const granted = await PermissionsAndroid.request(
      PermissionsAndroid.PERMISSIONS.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE,
      {
        title: 'Permissions for write access',
        message: 'Give permission to your storage to write a file',
        buttonPositive: 'ok',
      },
    );
    if (granted === PermissionsAndroid.RESULTS.GRANTED) {
      console.log('You can use the storage');
    } else {
      console.log('permission denied');
      return;
    }
  } catch (err) {
    console.warn(err);
    return;
  }
}
if (Platform.OS === 'android') {
  try {
    const granted = await PermissionsAndroid.request(
      PermissionsAndroid.PERMISSIONS.RECORD_AUDIO,
      {
        title: 'Permissions for write access',
        message: 'Give permission to your storage to write a file',
        buttonPositive: 'ok',
      },
    );
    if (granted === PermissionsAndroid.RESULTS.GRANTED) {
      console.log('You can use the camera');
    } else {
      console.log('permission denied');
      return;
    }
  } catch (err) {
    console.warn(err);
    return;
  }
}

Methods

All methods are implemented with promises.

Func	Param	Return	Description
mmss	`number` seconds	`string`	Convert seconds to `minute:second` string.
addRecordBackListener		`Promise<void>`	Set record interval in second.
addPlayBackListener	`Function` callBack	`void`	Get callback from native module. Will receive `duration`, `current_position`
startRecorder	`<string>` uri?	`Promise<void>`	Start recording. Not passing the param will save audio in default location.
stopRecorder		`Promise<string>`	Stop recording.
startPlayer	`<string>` uri?	`Promise<string>`	Start playing. Not passing the param will play audio in default location.
stopPlayer		`Promise<string>`	Stop playing.
pausePlayer		`Promise<string>`	Pause playing.
seekToPlayer	`number` miliseconds	`Promise<string>`	Seek audio.
setVolume	`doulbe` value	`Promise<string>`	Set volume of audio player (default 1.0, range: 0.0 ~ 1.0).

Customizing recorded audio quality (from `2.3.0`)

interface AudioSet {
  AVSampleRateKeyIOS?: number;
  AVFormatIDKeyIOS?: AVEncodingType;
  AVNumberOfChannelsKeyIOS?: number;
  AVEncoderAudioQualityKeyIOS?: AVEncoderAudioQualityIOSType;
  AudioSourceAndroid?: AudioSourceAndroidType;
  OutputFormatAndroid?: OutputFormatAndroidType;
  AudioEncoderAndroid?: AudioEncoderAndroidType;
}

More description on each parameter types are described in index.d.ts. Below is an example code.

    const audioSet: AudioSet = {
      AudioEncoderAndroid: AudioEncoderAndroidType.AAC,
      AudioSourceAndroid: AudioSourceAndroidType.MIC,
      AVEncoderAudioQualityKeyIOS: AVEncoderAudioQualityIOSType.high,
      AVNumberOfChannelsKeyIOS: 2,
      AVFormatIDKeyIOS: AVEncodingOption.aac,
    };

    const uri = await this.audioRecorderPlayer.startRecorder(path, audioSet);
    this.audioRecorderPlayer.addRecordBackListener((e: any) => {
      this.setState({
        recordSecs: e.current_position,
        recordTime: this.audioRecorderPlayer.mmssss(
          Math.floor(e.current_position),
        ),
      });
    });

Default Path

Default path for android uri is sdcard/sound.mp4.
Default path for ios uri is sound.m4a.

Usage

import AudioRecorderPlayer from 'react-native-audio-recorder-player';

const audioRecorderPlayer = new AudioRecorderPlayer();

onStartRecord = async () => {
  const result = await this.audioRecorderPlayer.startRecorder();
  this.audioRecorderPlayer.addRecordBackListener((e) => {
    this.setState({
      recordSecs: e.current_position,
      recordTime: this.audioRecorderPlayer.mmssss(
        Math.floor(e.current_position),
      ),
    });
    return;
  });
  console.log(result);
};

onStopRecord = async () => {
  const result = await this.audioRecorderPlayer.stopRecorder();
  this.audioRecorderPlayer.removeRecordBackListener();
  this.setState({
    recordSecs: 0,
  });
  console.log(result);
};

onStartPlay = async () => {
  console.log('onStartPlay');
  const msg = await this.audioRecorderPlayer.startPlayer();
  console.log(msg);
  this.audioRecorderPlayer.addPlayBackListener((e) => {
    if (e.current_position === e.duration) {
      console.log('finished');
      this.audioRecorderPlayer.stopPlayer();
    }
    this.setState({
      currentPositionSec: e.current_position,
      currentDurationSec: e.duration,
      playTime: this.audioRecorderPlayer.mmssss(Math.floor(e.current_position)),
      duration: this.audioRecorderPlayer.mmssss(Math.floor(e.duration)),
    });
    return;
  });
};

onPausePlay = async () => {
  await this.audioRecorderPlayer.pausePlayer();
};

onStopPlay = async () => {
  console.log('onStopPlay');
  this.audioRecorderPlayer.stopPlayer();
  this.audioRecorderPlayer.removePlayBackListener();
};

TIPS

If you want to get actual uri from the record or play file to actually grab it and upload it to your bucket, just grab the resolved message when using startPlay or startRecord method like below.

const path = Platform.select({
  ios: 'hello.m4a',
  android: 'sdcard/hello.mp4', // should give extra dir name in android. Won't grant permission to the first level of dir.
});
const uri = await audioRecorderPlayer.startRecord(path);

Also, above example helps you to setup manual path to record audio. Not giving path param will record in default path as mentioned above.

Try yourself

Goto Example folder by running cd Example.
Run npm install && npm start.
Run npm run ios to run on ios simulator and npm run android to run on your android device.

I've been maintaining quite many repos these days and burning out slowly. If you could help me cheer up, buying me a cup of coffee will make my life really happy and get much energy out of it.
