Problem with QAudioRecorder

[helenebro]

Hi,
I have an app where I record sound when I press a button. When I release the button, record must stop.
Behavior of QAudioRecorder seems to be an errors.
If I have understood,

• when I execute QAudioRecorder::record(), QAudioRecorder go from LoadedStatus to StartingStatus and automatically to RecordingStatus
• when I execute QAudioRecorder::stop() (and QAudioRecorder is during recording process) , QAudioRecorder go from RecordingStatus to FinalizingStatus and automatically to LoadedStatus.

But sometimes, when I start record, QAudioRecorder stay on StartingStatus and when I stop record, QAudioRecorder stay on FinalizingStatus.
Have you an idea of the problem ?

    delete myAudioRecorder;
}

    qDebug()<<"createAudioRecorder";
    myAudioRecorder= new QAudioRecorder(this);
    connect(myAudioRecorder, SIGNAL(statusChanged(QMediaRecorder::Status)), this, SLOT(displayStatus(QMediaRecorder::Status)));

    myAudioRecorder->setEncodingSettings(audioSettings);

Thank you for your help

Hi,

You should also add which version of Qt you are using as well as OS

[helenebro]

@SGaist
i use Qt 5.2.1 under Ubuntu 14.04

[SGaist]

Can you test that with a more recent version of Qt e.g. 5.5 ?

[helenebro]

I have tried with Qt 5.5.0 and I have the same problem :

-> request record 
new status QMediaRecorder  QMediaRecorder::StartingStatus
new status QMediaRecorder  QMediaRecorder::RecordingStatus
->  request stop record 
new status QMediaRecorder  QMediaRecorder::FinalizingStatus
new status QMediaRecorder  QMediaRecorder::LoadedStatus

-> request record 
new status QMediaRecorder  QMediaRecorder::StartingStatus
new status QMediaRecorder  QMediaRecorder::RecordingStatus
-> request stop record 
new status QMediaRecorder  QMediaRecorder::FinalizingStatus

-> request record but problem
