>> setOutputFile() expects a path to where you want the file stored.
Yep, figured that much by the method name, but what's a valid path? I mean I'm figuring it's UNIX-like, but other than that I'm in the dark. Is there a preferred place for apps to store data? Are there certain directories that I have permission to write to? What directories exist on the device by default? It'd be nice for the docs on data storage to mention any of these things: http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/data/data-storage.html >> You can take a look at the source to SoundRecorder in the open source tree >> for some working code Thanks for the example. This would be a much better example than the one in the docs that won't compile and implies content must first be added to a database: http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/media/index.html On Feb 24, 8:03 pm, Dave Sparks <[email protected]> wrote: > setOutputFile() expects a path to where you want the file stored. > > You can take a look at the source to SoundRecorder in the open source > tree for some working code: > > http://android.git.kernel.org/?p=platform/packages/apps/SoundRecorder... > > On Feb 24, 4:43 pm, benmccann <[email protected]> wrote: > > > Hi, > > I'd like to create anaudiorecordingin Android.
