Adding "Pause/resume" button feature

Components

Sound recorder is an Android app for recording voice and audios. This app is used often to record voices in meetings and some personal recordings like for voice evidences. The main problem with this app is its inability to pause and resume recordings.

Proposal

It could have been better if sound recorder app can pause while recording and resumes where it stopped.

Mockups / Examples

Benefits

It will increase the usage of the app because users do not have to record unnecessary voices while recording. It will also minimize multiple recordings as users would now be able to pause their recordings whenever the need arises, and return to their recordings when they are ready.

Unlike having to record for a long minutes because they want to have the recordings in one file. Or having to stop the initial recordings, then record another one because they don't want to have a long recordings with unnecessary voices in it.
