Where is the 'www' path?

[leafiy]

I'm using capacitorjs, the only www folder I can found in the whole project is 'src-capacitor/www'. But its not work. So where should I put my audio files?

[Maraaghib]

Try to put your audio files in your-project/src/assets and after building, your must have a new folder in the root of your project named www where the assets folder and its content will be copied.

@leafiy - did you get this to work? I spend hours already, but I'm not getting anywhere. I found a hardcoded www directory (hmmm) in the sourcecode, but my build doesn't create a www dir.
see:

cordova-plugin-nativeaudio/src/android/NativeAudio.java

Line 85 in 8407c8c

String fullPath = "www/".concat(assetPath);

The tip from @Maraaghib didn't make any difference.
Also when I add a www dir it still can't find the asset. So apparently this www dir is expected somewhere else. If I use a url, as described in the docs, it still puts www in front of it, because of it being hardcoded: www/http:// etc

NativeAudio.preloadSimple("ballbounce", "assets/audio/basketball.mp3")

Line 1 - Msg: Error loading sound: java.io.FileNotFoundException: www/assets/audio/basketball.mp3

I have put the file in src/assets/audio and in public/assets/audio. I would expect the latter to be correct, I would expect public to be 'www' - it is correct for other assets like images and fonts.

I'm using ionic/capacitor and Vue 3 - did anyone get this to work in that setting?

• @ionic-native/native-audio: ^5.32.0
• @ionic/vue: ^5.4.0

Hello @micksp, I had the same problem as you.
I am using capacitor 3, ionic 5, vue 3 in my project.
I fork a repository in which I removed www from the asset path and now everything works correctly on android and ios

Configuration example:

1. You need to place your audio folder in the public folder in the root of the ionic project
2. Remove cordova-plugin-nativeaudio from package.json
3. You need to install:
   npm install cordova-plugin-nativeaudio2
   npm install @ionic-native/native-audio
   ionic cap sync

Example how to use in vue 3:

<script lang="ts">
import {NativeAudio} from '@ionic-native/native-audio';

export default defineComponent({
  name: 'App',
  setup() {
    NativeAudio.preloadSimple('sound', 'public/audio/you_sound.wav').then((data) => {
      console.log('success', data);
    },
    (data) => {
      console.log('error', data);
    });
  }
});
</script>

Thanks @Sitronik - In the meantime I have ported my app to Flutter/Dart.

Understood 👍
I ended up using this plugin because there were problems with the buttons to decrease and increase the sound on ios

Hello, where would I put my audio folder in angular for it to work with your fork ?
Right now Im setting them on assets/audio but its not working

It work correct on vue ionic project, on angular not tested

I ended up using the Web Audio API instead: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/HTMLAudioElement

Might not be suitable for everyone, but in my case this worked fine.

In ionic 6 + capacitor 4 in file

cordova-plugin-nativeaudio/src/android/NativeAudio.java

Line 85 in 8407c8c

String fullPath = "www/".concat(assetPath);

change www with public.

 String fullPath = "public/".concat(assetPath);

And audio should load fine.
