Overview

The delegate of an AVAudioRecorder object must adopt the AVAudioRecorderDelegate protocol. All of the methods in this protocol are optional. They allow a delegate to respond to audio interruptions and audio decoding errors, and to the completion of a recording.

Tasks

Responding to the Completion of a Recording

Responding to an Audio Encoding Error

Handling Audio Interruptions

Instance Methods

audioRecorderBeginInterruption:

Called when the audio session is interrupted during a recording, such as by an incoming phone call.

- (void)audioRecorderBeginInterruption:(AVAudioRecorder *)recorder
Parameters

The audio recorder whose recording was interrupted.

Discussion

Upon interruption, your application’s audio session is deactivated and the audio recorder pauses. You cannot use the audio recorder again until you receive a notification that the interruption has ended.

Parameters
recorder

The audio recorder that has finished recording.

audioRecorderEncodeErrorDidOccur:error:

Called when an audio recorder encounters an encoding error during recording.

- (void)audioRecorderEncodeErrorDidOccur:(AVAudioRecorder *)recorder error:(NSError *)error
Parameters
recorder

The audio recorder that encountered the encoding error.

error

The encoding error.

  • Available in iOS 3.0 and later.
Declared In
AVAudioRecorder.h

audioRecorderEndInterruption:withOptions:

Called after your audio session interruption ends, with options indicating the state of the audio session.

- (void)audioRecorderEndInterruption:(AVAudioRecorder *)recorder withOptions:(NSUInteger)flags
Parameters
recorder

The paused audio recorder whose interruption has ended.

flags

Options indicating the state of the audio session when this method is called. Options are described in AVAudioSessionInterruptionOptions

Discussion

For an audio recorder’s delegate to receive this message, the audio recorder must have been recording when the interruption started. When an interruption ends, such as by a user ignoring an incoming phone call, the audio session for your application is automatically reactivated; at that point you can again interact with the audio recorder. To resume recording, call the record method.

If this delegate method receives the AVAudioSessionInterruptionOptionShouldResume constant in its flags parameter, the audio session is immediately ready to be used.
