New plugin! Record n Play in the market

Record n Play is a simple voice recorder and playback screen - record and play sound from your iPhone or iPad. Additionally, Record n Play uses XIB files, so you can design and move on-screen elements (like the buttons) using Interface Builder (in Xcode). This allows you to easily make it more unique. Control panel modifications like background colors and images still work with XIB if needed. Download: http://www.buzztouch.com/plugins/plugin.php?pid=9456B663B1AB2367BC604C7 See buzztouchmods.com for more plugins and goodies! * Big thanks to david for working on the iPad version and making it more customizable - @atrain was right, BT ninja's who throw code into your plugins are real! Other plugins coming your way: https://www.buzztouch.com/forum/thread.php?tid=BA283652D5B9C42001148E0 Cheers, David buzztouchmods.com

I just saw that plugin appear in the market. Great work! One note to users who are not familiar with Interface Builder: (and I'm sure the plugin has the .xibs saved this way) To use background colors or images passed by the JSON, you need to make sure the background in your .xib is transparent (when you select a bg color, its sorta white with a red stripe through it). Again, this is only important if you play around with the xib and set a color manually, then try to change it with your BT control panel. Ok, back to praising MrDavid: Great work! Keep them up!

@Stobe yup that's exactly what was done, it was set to transparent to allow the control panel changes to work alongside it. I'm hoping that people will utilize the control panel for those kinds of changes as it's more logical anyways, and use the interface builder to move around the buttons or UIImage, maybe add a label or two? Thanks, appreciate it Stobe! David buzztouchmods.com

Congratulations David! What options do users have after they record their message? Can they send it somewhere (via email or upload capability)? Thanks, Andy

Hey Andy, Nothing yet other then playing it back, but the next update WILL include some sort of export option, that's #1 in the priority list. The update will be free for anyone who's already purchased it, as will all future updates, I expect to make this a much bigger plugin then it is now. I'm thinking a list of saved recordings - with options to delete, duplicate and export? Cheers, David buzztouchmods.com

Cool. If you can make an option to "email recording to...", that could totally give me a reason to make an app for the podcast. Then you crazy devs would have no reason to not send me a voice recording for the show! :)

Maybe a bottom tool bar that allows "Save" or "Email" or "Upload to URL". I also think a simple on screen timer that shows the length of the recording while it's ticking away. Stoked that @MrDavid put this together and I'll bet it turns out to be super-duper popular. Something cool about a plugin that "just works" without a bunch of complex options.

@Stobe, @David, exactly what I was thinking! I've already figured out how to get a Progress View going, above the "toolbar", the second part is finding a way to get that tmp file exported, I'm thinking of digging through the old camera email plugin for hints. Timer's a great idea, that shouldn't be hard! Thanks again guys. David buzztouchmods.com

Yup...you'll want to think about... a) A strategic naming convention for the files so you can "list them" when the time comes. b) A way to grab a file (as NSData) and attach it to an email compose sheet. Great idea about looking at the email image. In fact, the BT_viewControllerManager has a static method you can use to send an email with attached data. c)All the other cool things this could do...
