Usage

Creating instance.

FlutterSound flutterSound = new FlutterSound();

Starting recorder with listener.

String path = await flutterSound.startRecorder(null);
print('startRecorder: $path');

_recorderSubscription = flutterSound.onRecorderStateChanged.listen((e) {
  DateTime date = new DateTime.fromMillisecondsSinceEpoch(e.currentPosition.toInt());
  String txt = DateFormat('mm:ss:SS', 'en_US').format(date);
});

Stop recorder

String result = await flutterSound.stopRecorder();
print('stopRecorder: $result');

if (_recorderSubscription != null) {
	_recorderSubscription.cancel();
	_recorderSubscription = null;
}

Start player

String path = await flutterSound.startPlayer(null);
print('startPlayer: $path');

_playerSubscription = flutterSound.onPlayerStateChanged.listen((e) {
	if (e != null) {
		DateTime date = new DateTime.fromMillisecondsSinceEpoch(e.currentPosition.toInt());
		String txt = DateFormat('mm:ss:SS', 'en_US').format(date);
		this.setState(() {
			this._isPlaying = true;
			this._playerTxt = txt.substring(0, 8);
		});
	}
});

Stop player

String result = await flutterSound.stopPlayer();
print('stopPlayer: $result');
if (_playerSubscription != null) {
	_playerSubscription.cancel();
	_playerSubscription = null;
}

Pause player

String result = await flutterSound.pausePlayer();

Resume player

String result = await flutterSound.resumePlayer();

Seek player

String result = await flutterSound.seekToPlayer(miliSecs);

Setting subscription duration (Optional). 0.01 is default value when not set.

/// 0.01 is default
flutterSound.setSubscriptionDuration(0.01);

Setting volume.

/// 1.0 is default
/// Currently, volume can be changed when player is running. Try manage this right after player starts.
String path = await flutterSound.startPlayer(null);
await flutterSound.setVolume(0.1);

TODO

• ❌ Seeking example in Exmaple project
• ✅ Volume Control
• ✅ Sync timing for recorder callback handler
