noise_meter 0.1.0

A noise meter plugin for Android and iOS. Currently works for Android only, will support iOS in near future.

noise_meter

Install

Add noise_meter as a dependency in pubspec.yaml. For help on adding as a dependency, view the documentation.

On Android you need to add a permission to AndroidManifest.xml:

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.RECORD_AUDIO" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE" />

Usage

Initalization

Noise data will be streamed, and for this a few objects need to be initialized, such as a boolean representing the recording state, a stream and a NoiseMeter object.

bool _isRecording = false;
StreamSubscription<NoiseEvent> _noiseSubscription;
Noise _noise;

Furthermore, handling incoming events in a seperate method is also a good idea:

void onData(NoiseEvent e) {
    print("${e.decibel} dB");
}

Where frequency is the update rate in milliseconds of type int, this means the lower the update rate, the more frequently events will come in.

Start listening

void startRecorder() async {
    try {
      _noise = new Noise(500); // New observation every 500 ms
      _noiseSubscription = _noise.noiseStream.listen(onData);
    } on NoiseMeterException catch (exception) {
      print(exception);
    }
}

Where onData() handles the events from StreamSubscription. An example could be:

void onData(NoiseEvent event) {
  print("noise level is ${event.decibel} decibel.");
}

Each incoming NoiseEvent has an integer field named decibel containing the noise level of the reading.

Stop listening

void stopRecorder() async {
    try {
      if (_noiseSubscription != null) {
        _noiseSubscription.cancel();
        _noiseSubscription = null;
      }
      this.setState(() {
        this._isRecording = false;
      });
    } catch (err) {
      print('stopRecorder error: $err');
    }
}
