Customizing the UI for Audio Capture

[Jason]

We're building an app that captures audio/video as part of a training exercise. We want to customize the UI used to capture the audio (orientation, etc.), but we can't find any information on doing so. Can anyone point us in the right direction?

Hello Jason,

You can use the Media core plugin to record audio. Use its ​startRecord​ and ​stopRecord​ methods to make a recording. You can tie them to any UI you create for your application. Here is a small sample of how you can trigger and stop a recording using the plugin:

var src = "myrecording.wav";
var mediaRec = new Media(src,
    // success callback
    function () {
        console.log("recordAudio():Audio Success");
    },

    // error callback
    function (err) {
        console.log("recordAudio():Audio Error: " + err.code);
    }
);

// Record audio
mediaRec.startRecord();

// Stop recording after 2 seconds
setTimeout(function () {
    mediaRec.stopRecord();
}, 2000);
