PhoneGap + Android - Record Audio in .wav format using Media Librart

[dhiren patel]

I am trying to record audio using PhoneGap on Android. I want to record in .WAV format.

Code: JavaScript

media.startRecord();

I found that this function record audio in .3gp format by default. If I change the source code of PhoneGap to record in different format. (can be in .amr format)

Code: JAVA, File: AudioPlayer.java

this.recorder = new MediaRecorder(); this.recorder.setAudioSource(MediaRecorder.AudioSource.MIC); this.recorder.setOutputFormat(MediaRecorder.OutputFormat.DEFAULT); // THREE_GPP); this.recorder.setAudioEncoder(MediaRecorder.AudioEncoder.DEFAULT); //AMR_NB);

But I also found that Android do not support to record in .wav format.http://developer.android.com/guide/appendix/media-formats.html

I don't want to use capture.captureAudio function because that launches an external application.

Please suggest me solution.

As you have seen there is no .wav encoder provided by Android. So you
either launch an external application via an Intent to record as .wav
or you have to live with the .3gp format.

I found that it's possible to record audio in .wav format. Check this link

http://stackoverflow.com/questions/4871149/how-to-record-voice-in-wav-formt-using-android 

As we can modify the source code of PhoneGap as mentioned in the link we will be able to record the audio in .wav format.

I recorded the audio file file using code given, and it's recording in .wav format. 

What you say? Will it work with PhoneGap?
