not record to a file

[diwu86]

Hi this is not an issue. I am wondering whether I can only listen to the mic but not save it to a file. Basically I want to use

AudioRecord.on('data', data => {
  // base64-encoded audio data chunks
}); 

without save the file to my phone. Is it possible? Thanks

@diwu86 this is not possible at the moment. You can just ignore the file. Does saving audio to file cause any issue?

[diwu86]

No. Saving file is working fine. I have to stop and re-start cause I don't want to make the file too big.

@diwu86 how are you playing/storing the data from the chunks?

And how can i delete the file after the recording?

Was wondering if anyone has been able to do this? We're uploading chunks to our server and processing into a file there. We have experienced a number of crashes on two devices with 32gb and 23gb available. One crashing at around 90mins or recording and another around 70mins.

Package is great though thank you for your hard work!

@maxckelly a colleague of mine implemented a circular buffer forked from this repo for an app we developed for this purpose.
It was a while ago so I can’t remember exactly the specifics of the implementation, you’ll have to look through the commit history to figure it out as we didn’t document any of it but hopefully it’s enough to get you going.

I could get not record to a file, commenting these lines in java file: RNAudioRecordModule.java
//saveAsWav();
//stopRecordingPromise.resolve(outFile);
