This example shows how to record an audio in android and save it in your path and send it as an email attachment.
This example is taken from the developers website.
Note : You should run this on the device otherwise it will not work.
This example will open up an email client after recording and attach it to the email client.
Remember that your device should have the email client application and you should be logged in otherwise you will get the error as “No Application can perform this action”

Hi,
Nice job.. really appreciated.I need one small help how can we send that email automatically,ie,without createChooser option
what is the meaning of this line???
package pack.coderzheaven;
i got error because of this line.:(
Its just the package name. You can change it to your package name and the error will be gone.
For this app to work you have to add the following permissions in your androidmanifest.xml
where is the Audio saving?? where is the database? if i want to save that Audio and email in my own database what should i do.
if i start recording it is showing unfortunately record has stopped can u please help with it
Nidhi,
Did u give the proper runtime permissions. From Android Marshmallow, apps need runtime permissions from the user.
Please paste the log here so that I can check whats the exact issue.
Thanks.
