Allow other apps to start MainActivity so they can use intent to record audio #38

Closed naXa777 closed 4 years ago

naXa777 commented 6 years ago

Android docs: https://d.android.com/training/basics/intents/filters

Example of invoking code:

Intent intent = new Intent(MediaStore.Audio.Media.RECORD_SOUND_ACTION);
startActivityForResult(intent, RECORD_REQUEST);

Preconditions:

there is an app on user's device that needs to record sound, but does not implement this feature itself. so it creates an intent to launch default sound recorder.

Expected behaviour:

Simple Sound Recorder app appears in Send To list
when recording is finished it's passed back to the app that created the intent.

Can I work on this?

naXa777 commented 5 years ago

@aman0408 yes, sure. you're welcome here =)

Sony's audio recorder already has this feature -> https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.sonymobile.androidapp.audiorecorder we can use it as a reference.

I am unable to build the app. Android studio gives me the following error "ERROR: Could not get unknown property 'soundrecorderCrashlyticsApiSecret' for project ':app' of type org.gradle.api.Project." Could you please guide me on how to go about it?

@aman0408 did you follow steps in Building section? https://github.com/naXa777/SoundRecorder#building

aman0408 commented 5 years ago

My bad. I'll do that.
