Native Microphone replacement for Air on iOS

AirMicrophone-ANE

This is an Air native extension aiming to replace the Microphone class on iOS. It has been developed by Fovea.

Notes

• only support activity level monitoring for now.
• this is WORK IN PROGRESS.

Installation

The ANE binary (AirMicrophone.ane) is located in the bin folder. You should add it to your application project's Build Path and make sure to package it with your app (more information here).

Usage

API's goal is to write the same code than if using flash's Microphone class, except that you include a different class.

import cc.fovea.ane.AirMicrophone.Microphone;

// Initialize the microphone
var mic:Microphone = (Microphone)(Microphone.getMicrophone());

// All this is ignored when using the ANE. Just here for compatibility.
mic.setLoopBack();
mic.addEventListener(StatusEvent.STATUS, onMicStatus); 
[...]

// Start recording
mic.rate = 11; // (or any non-zero value)

// Retrieve activity level
trace(mic.activityLevel);

// Stop recording
mic.rate = 0;

Build script

Should you need to edit the extension source code and/or recompile it, you will find an ant build script (build.xml) in the build folder:

cd /path/to/the/ane

# Setup build configuration
cd build
mv example.build.config build.config
# Edit build.config file to provide your machine-specific paths

# Build the ANE
ant
