Cordova: What is the right location to store recorded Audio files in iOS? - ios

Question

I am using media plugin to record sounds.
var my_media = new Media('test.wav');
my_media.startRecord();
my_media.stopRecord() // after few seconds
my_media.release();
my_media.play();//works fine
// But when I try to Check if test.wav file exist I always get false as status.
//File name of our important data file we didn't ship with the app
var fileName = "test.wav";
function init() {
console.log("Checking for data file.");
//Check for the file.
window.resolveLocalFileSystemURL(fileName, onSuccess, onFail);
}
function onSuccess() {
console.log("Great! This file exists");
}
function onFail() {
console.log('Sorry! File not Found');
}
// I always get this message: Sorry! File not Found
What is right way to do this? After recording I want user to be able to see list of available recorded sounds and user should be able to play it. For that I need to check if file exists or not.
So how should we implement that?

Answer 1

You can display list of recorded files as:
window.requestFileSystem(LocalFileSystem.PERSISTENT, 0, function(fileSystem) {
fileSystem.root.getDirectory(YOUR_PATH, {
create: true
}, function(directory) {
root_path = fileSystem.root.toURL();
var directoryReader = directory.createReader();
directoryReader.readEntries(function(entries) {
var i;
for (i = 0; i < entries.length; i++) {
//Get file URL as: entries[i].toURL()); & display using creating dynamic tag.
}
}, function(error) {
alert(error.code);
});
});
}, function(error) {
alert("can't even get the file system: " + error.code);
});
