How to use Adalo's audio recording component?

Step 1: Create a New Project or Open an Existing One

Start by either creating a new project on Adalo or opening an existing one where you want to add the Audio Recording component.

Step 2: Navigate to the Component Marketplace

In the Adalo Builder interface, find the “+” button on the left sidebar. Click it to open the Component Marketplace. This is where you can add extra components to your project.

Step 3: Search for the Audio Recording Component

In the Component Marketplace, use the search bar to look for the "Audio Recording" component. Once you find it, click on it to add it to your project.

Step 4: Drag and Drop the Audio Recording Component

After adding the Audio Recording component to your inventory, drag and drop it onto the screen where you want the audio recording feature to be. Adjust its size and placement to fit your design.

Step 5: Configure the Component's Properties

Click on the Audio Recording component on the screen to open its properties panel. Here, you can tweak various settings:

  • Allowed Time: Set the maximum length for each recording.
  • Styling Options: Customize how the component looks with different styles, colors, and sizes.
  • Integration Options: Decide where and how to save the audio files once recorded (e.g., in a database collection).

Step 6: Set Up Data Collections

If you need to store the recorded audio, make sure you have a data collection set up to save the audio files. Go to the Data tab, create a new collection (e.g., "Recordings"), and add fields like "Audio File", "Duration", "User", etc.

Step 7: Configure Actions

In the properties panel, set up actions for what should happen once the user finishes a recording. For example:

  • Save Recording: Set up an action to save the recording to the database collection you created.
  • Navigate: Optionally, set up navigation actions if the user needs to be redirected to another screen after recording.

Step 8: Preview and Test

Before publishing, use Adalo's preview function to test the Audio Recording component. Make sure it records, plays back, and saves audio files correctly. Adjust any settings or configurations based on your test results.

Step 9: Publish Your App

Once you're happy with the functionality and design, go ahead and publish your app. This will make the audio recording feature available to your users, whether it's a web app or a mobile app.
