Kivy for Audio and Video recording

[Pedro Simão]

Hello,

I am considering Kivy to build some apps.

I will need to record audios and videos from the users.

I will also need to be able to import audio and video files.

I might be wrong but it seems that Kivy is not capable of recording audio on iOS and Android?
Is that information correct? Should I move to another framework?
Regards,

[Goffi]

Hi,

don't know about iOS, but Kivy is definitely able to record Audio on Android,
we are doing it in our XMPP client, using Plyer.

I'll post an alpha APK soon by the way if some of you are interested.

Hey Goffi,

Thanks a lot for your message.

I have just seen the official Plyer github and it Audio Recording is not "checked"for iOS.

Also, it seems possible to take pictures, but is it possible to make videos too?
And the "Native File Chooser" APIs are not checked for Android or iOS. So, I imagine it is not possible to import external video or audio files, right?
Thanks a lot

It should certainly be possible (at least on Android, iOS' permissions system makes things much more complicated) to import external video/audio files, it just won't be possible to use the native file chooser for that. You can roll your own or use the kivy built-in one.

In our app, we can record audio (inside the app), or take photo/video (using
google API, external app), use gallery (external app), or file (Kivy file
chooser, but planing to implement more advanced one, there is one in the
garden too), all of this is working well.

If things are not in Plyer, you can use Pyjnius to implement them yourself.

You can check our code on https://repos.goffi.org/cagou/file/tip/src/cagou/
plugins (plugin_transfer_* files).

Hello, Goffi! Is it possible to record audio in your app on Android 6?
