Release the microphone.

It seems that after calling Microphone.getMicrophone(), the app "owns" the device microphone, so other apps report the microphone as used by another app. Is there a way to programmatically "release" the microphone without closing an Air app?

Hi Alex,

Yes, you can use Event.DEACTIVATE to make it work both on Android and iOS as Event.SUSPEND is dispatched only on AIR iOS.

Hi Alex,

You can use the events such as Event.SUSPEND and handle it in such a way that it sets the microphone object to null when application goes into the background.

I tried with a below piece of code for iOS:

NativeApplication.nativeApplication.addEventListener(Event.SUSPEND, killObject);

protected function killObject(e: Event): void {

  trace("Suspend Received");

  mic = null;

  }

And Application seems to be working fine. It sets my microphone object to null when I send my application to the background on iOS devices.

Thanks,

Thank you. Are there any disadvantages to using Event.DEACTIVATE instead of Event.SUSPEND? My app should work both on iOS and Android.
