Hi,

I am trying to write an application which would record sound (in order to extract the decibel value). It would be continuously running, recording every now and then and sending the data to server.

However, it seems as if the API requires user interaction on each record.

Is there any way around this?

(With user interaction each time it would make my application unusable.)

Thanks
Erik

I guess you mean that the device displays this confirmation message "allow <blah blah> to use multimedia recording?" every time you try to start recording something.
You should be able to change that setting to be session / "ask once" even for unsigned midlets. If you want to get rid of the message altogether, you need to sign your midlet.

You can change the API access settings
on S60 devices: Go to Application manager, select the application and go to Options->Suite settings and change the Multimedia settings to "Ask first time"
On Series 40 devices go to Application menu, select the application and go to Options->App access and change the multimedia settings to "Ask first time only"

Ah excellent. That is exactly what I was looking for.

Thanks a lot Hartti!

I have another question as well.

The "Read user data" and "edit user data" posts under Suite settings: is that settings for reading and writing files?

(like trying to save application data when exiting for example, or saving data in the same session).

"The "Read user data" and "edit user data" posts under Suite settings: is that settings for reading and writing files? "

Yes, and access to contact book, calendar, to-do list (also user data)

Of course you could also use record store for storing the data (you do not need file access for that)
