Create an audio message from a local path

Create an audio message from an absolute path.

Construct a voice or audio message object from an absolute filesystem path recorded on the local device. When sending via Send a message, the SDK automatically uploads the file and tracks progress.

Code example

String absolutePath = "/storage/emulated/0/Recordings/voice_sample.m4a";
long durationSeconds = 8L; // Duration: 8 seconds

Message message = OpenIMClient.getInstance().messageManager.createSoundMessageFromFullPath(
    absolutePath,
    durationSeconds
);

Parameters

Parameter	Type	Required	Description
`soundPath`	`String`	Yes	Absolute filesystem path of the audio file on the local device. Ensure read permissions are granted.
`duration`	`long`	Yes	Audio playback duration in seconds.

Return value

Returns the created Message object with contentType set to MessageType.VOICE.

State changes after the call

Local initialization: Initializes the local Message structure without starting network uploads.
Transmission: Call Send a message to upload and deliver the audio message.
