Hello. I'm finishing up my app and have a question...
I need to run a sound file on the client handset (iphone). How would I go about doing this in javascript?
I have a timer app, at a set time, the app needs to run a specific WAV file that is located on the users phone. Can you show me the simple code to do this?
Thanks.
Hi,
There are two ways to implement this:
1) Via PhoneGap http://docs.phonegap.com/en/2.7.0/cor...
2) Using 'audio' HTML tag
code<audio src="URL"></audio>/codewhere URL is a link to audio file.
Thanks Katya. But these examples assumes that the audio file lives on a server. Is there anyway to have it look locally, like where all your other music files are stored?
Please take a look at the instruction:
order of file search
When only a file name or simple path is provided, iOS will search in the www for the file and then in the application documents/tmp directory.
codevar myMedia = new Media("audio/beer.mp3")
myMedia.play() // will first look for file in www/audio/beer.mp3 then in <application>/documents/tmp/audio/beer.mp3/code
Since I'm testing my appery app as a web app, how would it know to check /documents/tmp/audio/
Should I upload the file to my appery project?
Hi,
For testing you can upload a file to database, but local path for iPhone should be specified just before testing on device.
