A simple Appcelerator Titanium module for iOS screen recording.
Example app.js
// TiScreenRecorder : example app.
// @kosso : November 2016
// open a single window
var win = Ti.UI.createWindow({
backgroundColor:'white'
});
var label = Ti.UI.createLabel({
text: 'ready',
backgroundColor: '#99ffffff',
color: '#333',
width: Ti.UI.SIZE,
borderRadius: 6,
bottom: 5,
left: 5,
zIndex: 10
});
win.add(label);
var screenrecorder = require('com.kosso.tiscreenrecorder');
var isRecording = false;
var btn_rec = Ti.UI.createButton({
title: ' o ',
width: 30,
bottom: 5,
zIndex: 10,
height: 30,
borderRadius: 15,
color: 'white',
tintColor: 'white',
textAlign: 'center',
backgroundColor: '#995000'
});
btn_rec.addEventListener('click', function(){
if(isRecording){
screenrecorder.stopRecording();
label.text = 'stopped';
setTimeout(function(){
label.text = 'ready';
}, 3000);
} else {
var d = new Date();
var filename = 'recording_' d.getTime() '.mp4';
var file = Titanium.Filesystem.getFile(Titanium.Filesystem.applicationDataDirectory, filename);
if ( file.exists() ) {
file.deleteFile();
}
var video_url = file.nativePath; // eg: file:///etc/etc...
file = null;
console.log('video_url : ', video_url);
screenrecorder.startRecording(video_url);
// To just automatically save the video to the Camera Roll, leave out the video url
// eg: screenrecorder.startRecording();
label.text = 'recording';
}
isRecording = !isRecording;
});
screenrecorder.addEventListener('success', function(e){
console.log('screen recording done! : ', e);
// Saved video is at e.nativePath (if a video_url was set)
});
// Just something to record...
var wv = Ti.UI.createWebView({
url : 'http://www.bbc.co.uk/news',
width: Ti.UI.FILL,
height: Ti.UI.FILL,
backgroundColor: '#eee',
zIndex: 1
});
win.add(wv);
win.add(btn_rec);
win.open();
Ideas:
-
Hide recording button when starting. Add a shake gesture to stop recording.
-
Add audio recording.
-
Allow specifying an area of screen to record.
-
Generate a GIF ;)
-
Show location of touches.
