Recorder : In After recording event cannot get the sound

[DJrockz]

Following Is my source code.
In order to solve this issue

I specified the path for the recording folder. and no issue was raised when I clicked the start recording button.
But now I am getting an error saying error 701:Unable to load from the specified path.
Hope you can help me with this.
Thanking you in advance

The space in .../My Documents/... I am guessing is at index 78 in your file url

What happens if you do not specify a path for your saved recording?

You should also use the player component to playback your recordings. The sound component will only give a few seconds.

When I don't give a path for savedRecording I am getting the error in the PIC I.e 802 when I click on start recording.

Actually earlier without specifying the path it was working fine. I have just started getting this error a couple days ago to which I made the change as mentioned above.

Sorry to bother.
But I am unable to get the call .AppSpecificDirectory. Can you direct me on how to get it?

[Anke]

Get the path of → ASD (app-specific dir) & → private data dir (internal storage)

Here is an extension to get the ASD (path of app-specific directory) & PrivateDir and the API level. Updated: 7 Sept 2022 (permissions removed) GetASD.aix (5.1 KB) [grafik]

It's not working. This is the error I am getting.

@DJrockz

This is the error I am getting.

Show your blocks and post the aia.

[Anke]

@DJrockz

It's not working.

Which Android version and which device?

[DJrockz]

Android 5.1

[Anke]

I checked my blocks also on Android 5 and Android 5.1.
No issues, it works.

But on all devices I get this path:

Try this:

Thank you very much @Anke this worked for me.

I have another question is it necessary for the path to be /storage/emulated/....?
Can we not create an app directory specifically for the Recorder app ?

@DJrockz

is it necessary for the path to be /storage/emulated/....?

Actually this path /storage/emulated/0/ should work on all Android versions (but there might be something wrong with your device). I and my users have tested this on thousands of different devices and all Android versions. There were never any problems.

@DJrockz

Can we not create an app directory specifically for the Recorder app ?

Of course, exactly what I did:

[DJrockz]

Actually previously the recorder app worked fine without giving the SavedRecording path. A couple of days ago it started giving the error. Is it because MIT app inventor has been updated?

[Owen_Lee]

I had the same prob too. It happened after app inventor version updated to nb187. I just hope MIT can fix it asap rather than using the workaround.
