How to use the SD card when recording audio using PhoneGap Media startRecord?

I'm trying to create a recording app that will record audio using the smartphone microphone. Currently I'm developing for Android. I'm using the following code:

var audioRec;
var src = "fileName.wav";
audioRec = new Media(src, onSuccess, onError);
audioRec.startRecord();
// some code
audioRec.stopRecord();

The app is recording to the root directory in the internal storage.

If I create a directory - for example: recordingApp and change src to:

var src = "recordingApp\fileName.wav";

Then the app records to the directory "recordingApp" under root in the internal storage.

How do I record to a directory in the SD card external storage?. For example, the directory "recordingApp" in the SD card.

It depends... Some versions of Android mount the external card in different directories (you also need to handle when there is no SD card present). Sometimes it is /storage/extSdCard other times /sdcard

You can use the file plugin's built in enums to get the right directory in most cases: https://github.com/apache/cordova-plugin-file

For Android you would generally want cordova.file.externalApplicationStorageDirectory
