Description

This pull request adds a new plugin to the application for capturing high-quality audio data in Android.

Plugin Workflow Description

This plugin provides an interactive UI for recording and managing audio data. Below is a detailed description of how the plugin works:

Workflow

1. Plugin Action:

   • The plugin has an action that, when clicked, opens a user interface (UI) for interacting with the plugin.

2. Activity Launch:

   • The action opens the PhoneAudioInputActivity, which serves as the main interface for the plugin.

3. Manager Connection:

   • PhoneAudioInputActivity is connected to the PhoneAudioInputManager through interfaces defined in PhoneAudioInputState. This connection manages the state and interactions between the UI and the underlying audio recording functionalities.

4. Recording Capabilities:

   • The activity provides capabilities for recording audio, allowing users to start, stop, and manage audio recordings directly from the UI.

5. Device Selection Mechanism:

   • The device selection mechanism automatically prioritizes the USB audio device if connected. If no USB device is found, the plugin selects external devices in the following order of precedence:
     • TYPE_USB_DEVICE
     • TYPE_BLUETOOTH
     • TYPE_WIRED_HEADSET
   • If no external device is found, the plugin defaults to using the smartphone's built-in microphone.

6. Fragment Integration:

   • PhoneAudioInputActivity opens a fragment that provides additional capabilities, including:
     • Audio Playback: Users can playback the recorded audio to review it before sending.
     • Data Sending: Users can send the recorded audio data for storing to s3.

7. Pending Functionality:

   • The recorded audio files will be uploaded to Amazon S3. This functionality is currently pending and will be added soon.
