Android crash on recording Audio

[davecoffin]

On Android, when recording audio, then saving, the app crashes with the following stack:

System.err: An uncaught Exception occurred on "main" thread.

Open the audio picker:

let options: AudioPickerOptions = {
          android: {
            isCaptureMood: true, // if true then voice recorder will open directly.
            isNeedRecorder: true,
            maxNumberFiles: 1,
            isNeedFolderList: true,
            maxSize: 102400 // Maximum size of recorded file in bytes. 5900 = ~ 1 second
          },
          ios: {
            isCaptureMood: true, // if true then voice recorder will open directly.
            maxNumberFiles: 0,
            audioMaximumDuration: 500,
          }
        };
        this.mediaFilePicker.openAudioPicker(options);

@jibon57 any thoughts on this?

I sort of figured this out, I'm not good enough at Android to know whats going on...but heres what I found:

this block:

case Constant.REQUEST_CODE_TAKE_AUDIO:
                if (resultCode === androidAcivity.RESULT_OK) {

                    let rawData = Uri.parse(data.getData().toString());
                    let cursor = context.getContentResolver().query(rawData, null, null, null, null);
                    let column_index = cursor.getColumnIndex(MediaStore.Audio.Media.DATA);
                    cursor.moveToFirst();

                    let file = {
                        type: 'capturedAudio',
                        file: cursor.getString(column_index),
                        rawData: rawData
                    };

                    output.push(file);
                    cursor.close();
                }
                break;

column_index ends up being -1 for some reason. That crashes the app. First I tried this:

file: cursor.getString(column_index > -1 ? column_index : 0),

but that would simply return the filename, not the path to the file. I did notice though, that

data.getData().toString()

returns the full path to the file, in my case it was

content://com.google.android.apps.recorder.fileprovider/recording/634999c5-1dd1-4053-a2e6-fdd550ecc78a.m4a

So, i just pass that back as the file instead of using the cursor thing at all. The block above became

case Constant.REQUEST_CODE_TAKE_AUDIO:
                if (resultCode === androidAcivity.RESULT_OK) {

                    let rawData = Uri.parse(data.getData().toString());
                    let cursor = context.getContentResolver().query(rawData, null, null, null, null);
                    let column_index = cursor.getColumnIndex(MediaStore.Audio.Media.DATA);
                    cursor.moveToFirst();

                    let file = {
                        type: 'capturedAudio',
                        file: data.getData().toString(),
                        rawData: rawData
                    };

                    output.push(file);
                    cursor.close();
                }
                break;

I have no idea how this will work with android phones that have other recording apps or whatever. Any thoughts on this would be appreciated.
