How do I record audio on iPhone with AVAudioRecorder

Question

Now that iPhone 3 0 SDK is public  I think I can ask this question for those of you that have already been playing with the 3 0 SDK  I want to record audio in my application  but I want to use AVAudioRecorder and not the older way of recording like the example SpeakHere shows   There are not any examples of how to best do this in the iPhone Dev Center and only reference to the classes  I am a newbie at iPhone development  so I am looking for a simple sample to get me started

I ve been trying to get this code to work for the last 2 hours and though it showed no error on the simulator  there was one on the device    Turns out  at least in my case that the error came from directory used  bundle     NSURL  url    NSURL fileURLWithPath  NSString stringWithFormat      recordTest caf     NSBundle mainBundle  resourcePath       It was not writable or something like this    There was no error except the fact that prepareToRecord failed     I therefore replaced it by    NSArray  paths   NSSearchPathForDirectoriesInDomains NSDocumentDirectory  NSUserDomainMask  YES   NSString  recDir    paths objectAtIndex 0   NSURL  url    NSURL fileURLWithPath  NSString stringWithFormat      recordTest caf   recDir     It now Works like a Charm   Hope this helps others

Its really helpful  The only problem i had was the size of sound file created after recording  I needed to reduce the file size so i did some changes in settings   NSMutableDictionary  recordSetting     NSMutableDictionary alloc  init    recordSetting setValue   NSNumber numberWithInt kAudioFormatAppleIMA4  forKey AVFormatIDKey    recordSetting setValue  NSNumber numberWithFloat 16000 0  forKey AVSampleRateKey    recordSetting setValue  NSNumber numberWithInt  1  forKey AVNumberOfChannelsKey     File size reduced from 360kb to just 25kb  2 seconds recording

Actually  there are no examples at all  Here is my working code  Recording is triggered by the user pressing a button on the navBar  The recording uses cd quality  44100 samples   stereo  2 channels  linear pcm  Beware  if you want to use a different format  especially an encoded one  make sure you fully understand how to set the AVAudioRecorder settings  read carefully the audio types documentation   otherwise you will never be able to initialize it correctly  One more thing  In the code  I am not showing how to handle metering data  but you can figure it out easily  Finally  note that the AVAudioRecorder method deleteRecording as of this writing crashes your application  This is why I am removing the recorded file through the File Manager  When recording is done  I save the recorded audio as NSData in the currently edited object using KVC    define DOCUMENTS FOLDER  NSHomeDirectory   stringByAppendingPathComponent   Documents     -  void  startRecording   UIBarButtonItem  stopButton     UIBarButtonItem alloc  initWithTitle   Stop  style UIBarButtonItemStyleBordered  target self action  selector stopRecording    self navigationItem rightBarButtonItem   stopButton   stopButton release    AVAudioSession  audioSession    AVAudioSession sharedInstance   NSError  err   nil   audioSession setCategory  AVAudioSessionCategoryPlayAndRecord error  amp err   if err       NSLog   audioSession      d       err domain    err code     err userInfo  description        return     audioSession setActive YES error  amp err   err   nil  if err       NSLog   audioSession      d       err domain    err code     err userInfo  description        return     recordSetting     NSMutableDictionary alloc  init     recordSetting setValue   NSNumber numberWithInt kAudioFormatLinearPCM  forKey AVFormatIDKey    recordSetting setValue  NSNumber numberWithFloat 44100 0  forKey AVSampleRateKey     recordSetting setValue  NSNumber numberWithInt  2  forKey AVNumberOfChannelsKey     recordSetting setValue   NSNumber numberWithInt 16  forKey AVLinearPCMBitDepthKey    recordSetting setValue   NSNumber numberWithBool NO  forKey AVLinearPCMIsBigEndianKey    recordSetting setValue   NSNumber numberWithBool NO  forKey AVLinearPCMIsFloatKey         Create a new dated file NSDate  now    NSDate dateWithTimeIntervalSinceNow 0   NSString  caldate    now description   recorderFilePath     NSString stringWithFormat         caf   DOCUMENTS FOLDER  caldate  retain    NSURL  url    NSURL fileURLWithPath recorderFilePath   err   nil  recorder      AVAudioRecorder alloc  initWithURL url settings recordSetting error  amp err   if  recorder       NSLog   recorder      d       err domain    err code     err userInfo  description        UIAlertView  alert         UIAlertView alloc  initWithTitle    Warning                                 message   err localizedDescription                                delegate  nil                      cancelButtonTitle   OK                       otherButtonTitles nil        alert show        alert release       return       prepare to record  recorder setDelegate self    recorder prepareToRecord   recorder meteringEnabled   YES   BOOL audioHWAvailable   audioSession inputIsAvailable  if    audioHWAvailable        UIAlertView  cantRecordAlert         UIAlertView alloc  initWithTitle    Warning                                 message    Audio input hardware not available                                delegate  nil                      cancelButtonTitle   OK                       otherButtonTitles nil        cantRecordAlert show        cantRecordAlert release        return        start recording  recorder recordForDuration  NSTimeInterval  10       -  void  stopRecording    recorder stop    NSURL  url    NSURL fileURLWithPath  recorderFilePath   NSError  err   nil  NSData  audioData    NSData dataWithContentsOfFile  url path  options  0 error  amp err   if  audioData      NSLog   audio data      d       err domain    err code     err userInfo  description     editedObject setValue  NSData dataWithContentsOfURL url  forKey editedFieldKey          recorder deleteRecording     NSFileManager  fm    NSFileManager defaultManager    err   nil   fm removeItemAtPath  url path  error  amp err   if err      NSLog   File Manager      d       err domain    err code     err userInfo  description       UIBarButtonItem  startButton     UIBarButtonItem alloc  initWithTitle   Record  style UIBarButtonItemStyleBordered  target self action  selector startRecording    self navigationItem rightBarButtonItem   startButton   startButton release       -  void audioRecorderDidFinishRecording  AVAudioRecorder    aRecorder successfully  BOOL flag    NSLog    audioRecorderDidFinishRecording successfully        your actions here

Ok so the answer I got helped me in the right direction and I am very thankful   It helped me figure out how to actually record on the iPhone  but I thought I would also include some helpful code I got from the iPhone Reference Library   AudioandVideoTechnologies  I used this code and added it to the avTouch example fairly easily   With the above code sample and the sample from the reference library  I was able to get this to work pretty good
