I'm very new to this and would like to use the SoundRecorder but have no idea how it works and unable to find any examples. Any help would be much appreciated.

I have tried having 2 buttons:

Button1.Click SoundRecorder1.Start

Button2.Click SoundRecorder1.Stop

but that's as far as I've got.

Many thanks

probably the documentation can help?

http://ai2.appinventor.mit.edu/reference/components/media.html#SoundRecorder

to play the recorded sound, just use a Player component

you get the path to the recorded file in the AfterSoundRecorded event

Thanks for reply. I had seen and read the documentation before my initial post but was still unable to make a successful recording.

I am trying to run it using the emulator but where should I look in the Windows 7 file system to see the recorded file and how is it named?

Sorry for my ignorance if I'm missing something very obvious.

the recorded sound file is in the file system of the emulator then

It's been a long day and I'm struggling and feel I'm in a catch 22 situation.

I see nothing in AfterSoundRecorded, is that due to there being no file recorded or some other problem? I don't know! A working example would be nice but I haven't found one yet.

So I thought if I looked in the folder where the recorded file should be stored I'd know if it had actually recorded. Agree? A *.mp3 search of my PC does not reveal the file I'm looking for.  

Tomorrows another day

I meanwhile prepared an example for you http://puravidaapps.com/snippets.php#2soundrecorder

Working with the file system in the emulator gives me a headache,
trying to remember what is virtual and what is real, and how to get to it.

You have the same problem with your mp3 file.

Try using a real Android device connected thru WiFi or whatever works,
and use one of the many free Android file explorer apps
to go looking for the mp3 file on the real device.
