Breaking Changes
-
From version
3.0.+
, a critical migration has been done. Current version is not much different from version2.0.+
in usability, but there are many changes internally. Also note that it supportsiOS
platform version10.0
or newer.-
Codebase has been re-written to kotlin for Android and swift for iOS. Please follow the post installation for this changes.
[iOS]
- AVAudioPlayer has been migrated to AVPlayer which supports stream and more possibilities #231, #245, #275.
-
pauseRecorder
andresumeRecorder
features are added.- Caveat
Android now requires
minSdk
of24
.
- Caveat
Android now requires
-
Renamed callback variables.
export type RecordBackType = { isRecording?: boolean; currentPosition: number; currentMetering?: number; }; export type PlayBackType = { isMuted?: boolean; currentPosition: number; duration: number; };
-
subscriptionDuration
offset not defaults to0.5
which is500ms
.- Resolve #273
-
-
There has been vast improvements in #114 which is released in
2.3.0
. We now support allRN
versions without any version differenciating. See below installation guide for your understanding.

- Insert the following lines inside the dependencies block in
android/app/build.gradle
:compile project(':react-native-audio-recorder-player')
Post installation
iOS
On iOS you need to add a usage description to Info.plist
:
<key>NSMicrophoneUsageDescription</key>
<string>Give $(PRODUCT_NAME) permission to use your microphone. Your record wont be shared without your permission.</string>
Also, add swift bridging header if you haven't created one for swift
compatibility.
Android
On Android you need to add a permission to AndroidManifest.xml
:
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.RECORD_AUDIO" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE" />
Also, android above Marshmallow
needs runtime permission to record audio. Using react-native-permissions will help you out with this problem. Below is sample usage before when before staring the recording.
if (Platform.OS === 'android') {
try {
const grants = await PermissionsAndroid.requestMultiple([
PermissionsAndroid.PERMISSIONS.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE,
PermissionsAndroid.PERMISSIONS.READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE,
PermissionsAndroid.PERMISSIONS.RECORD_AUDIO,
]);
console.log('write external stroage', grants);
if (
grants['android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE'] ===
PermissionsAndroid.RESULTS.GRANTED &&
grants['android.permission.READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE'] ===
PermissionsAndroid.RESULTS.GRANTED &&
grants['android.permission.RECORD_AUDIO'] ===
PermissionsAndroid.RESULTS.GRANTED
) {
console.log('Permissions granted');
} else {
console.log('All required permissions not granted');
return;
}
} catch (err) {
console.warn(err);
return;
}
}
Lastly, you need to enable kotlin
. Please change add the line below in android/build.gradle
.
buildscript {
ext {
buildToolsVersion = "29.0.3"
+ // Note: Below change is necessary for pause / resume audio feature. Not for Kotlin.
+ minSdkVersion = 24
compileSdkVersion = 29
targetSdkVersion = 29
+ kotlinVersion = '1.5.0'
ndkVersion = "20.1.5948944"
}
repositories {
google()
jcenter()
}
dependencies {
classpath("com.android.tools.build:gradle:4.1.0")
+ classpath "org.jetbrains.kotlin:kotlin-gradle-plugin:$kotlinVersion"
}
...

2.3.0
)
Able to customize recorded audio quality (from interface AudioSet {
AVSampleRateKeyIOS?: number;
AVFormatIDKeyIOS?: AVEncodingType;
AVNumberOfChannelsKeyIOS?: number;
AVEncoderAudioQualityKeyIOS?: AVEncoderAudioQualityIOSType;
AudioSourceAndroid?: AudioSourceAndroidType;
OutputFormatAndroid?: OutputFormatAndroidType;
AudioEncoderAndroid?: AudioEncoderAndroidType;
}
More description on each parameter types are described in
index.d.ts
. Below is an example code.
const audioSet: AudioSet = {
AudioEncoderAndroid: AudioEncoderAndroidType.AAC,
AudioSourceAndroid: AudioSourceAndroidType.MIC,
AVEncoderAudioQualityKeyIOS: AVEncoderAudioQualityIOSType.high,
AVNumberOfChannelsKeyIOS: 2,
AVFormatIDKeyIOS: AVEncodingOption.aac,
};
const meteringEnabled = false;
const uri = await this.audioRecorderPlayer.startRecorder(
path,
audioSet,
meteringEnabled,
);
this.audioRecorderPlayer.addRecordBackListener((e: any) => {
this.setState({
recordSecs: e.currentPosition,
recordTime: this.audioRecorderPlayer.mmssss(Math.floor(e.currentPosition)),
});
});
Default Path
- Default path for android uri is
{cacheDir}/sound.mp4
. - Default path for ios uri is
{cacheDir}/sound.m4a
.
Usage
import AudioRecorderPlayer from 'react-native-audio-recorder-player';
const audioRecorderPlayer = new AudioRecorderPlayer();
onStartRecord = async () => {
const result = await this.audioRecorderPlayer.startRecorder();
this.audioRecorderPlayer.addRecordBackListener((e) => {
this.setState({
recordSecs: e.currentPosition,
recordTime: this.audioRecorderPlayer.mmssss(
Math.floor(e.currentPosition),
),
});
return;
});
console.log(result);
};
onStopRecord = async () => {
const result = await this.audioRecorderPlayer.stopRecorder();
this.audioRecorderPlayer.removeRecordBackListener();
this.setState({
recordSecs: 0,
});
console.log(result);
};
onStartPlay = async () => {
console.log('onStartPlay');
const msg = await this.audioRecorderPlayer.startPlayer();
console.log(msg);
this.audioRecorderPlayer.addPlayBackListener((e) => {
this.setState({
currentPositionSec: e.currentPosition,
currentDurationSec: e.duration,
playTime: this.audioRecorderPlayer.mmssss(Math.floor(e.currentPosition)),
duration: this.audioRecorderPlayer.mmssss(Math.floor(e.duration)),
});
return;
});
};
onPausePlay = async () => {
await this.audioRecorderPlayer.pausePlayer();
};
onStopPlay = async () => {
console.log('onStopPlay');
this.audioRecorderPlayer.stopPlayer();
this.audioRecorderPlayer.removePlayBackListener();
};
TIPS
If you want to get actual uri from the record or play file to actually grab it and upload it to your bucket, just grab the resolved message when using startPlay
or startRecord
method like below.
To access the file with more reliability, please use rn-fetch-blob. For example, below.
const dirs = RNFetchBlob.fs.dirs;
const path = Platform.select({
ios: 'hello.m4a',
android: `${this.dirs.CacheDir}/hello.mp3`,
});
const uri = await audioRecorderPlayer.startRecord(path);
Also, above example helps you to setup manual path to record audio. Not giving path param will record in default
path as mentioned above.
Try yourself
- Goto
Example
folder by runningcd Example
. - Run
yarn install && yarn start
. - Run
yarn ios
to run on ios simulator andyarn android
to run on your android device.
