I'm using AlarmManager
to display alarms in my android app, I want to display a sound from the system available sounds as an alarm but the only availability for me is to choose between the already set sounds like ringtone, alarm, notification :
Uri alert = RingtoneManager.getDefaultUri(RingtoneManager.TYPE_ALARM); // OR TYPE_RINGTONE OR TYPE_NOTIFICATION
Ringtone r = RingtoneManager.getRingtone(mContext, alert);
but I want to get all the system available tones and choose a one between them.
This worked for me :
Uri ringtone= RingtoneManager.getActualDefaultRingtoneUri(YourActivity.this, RingtoneManager.TYPE_ALARM);
And as stated by this answer, you have to do the following:
Intent intent=new Intent(RingtoneManager.ACTION_RINGTONE_PICKER);
intent.putExtra(RingtoneManager.EXTRA_RINGTONE_EXISTING_URI, ringtone);
intent.putExtra(RingtoneManager.EXTRA_RINGTONE_DEFAULT_URI, ringtone);
startActivityForResult(intent , 1);
And finally you get the selected tone "uri" which you can store in ringtone
as shown below in onActivityResult()
@Override
protected void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent data) {
if (resultCode == RESULT_OK) {
switch (requestCode) {
case 1:
ringtone = data.getParcelableExtra(RingtoneManager.EXTRA_RINGTONE_PICKED_URI);
break;
default:
break;
}
}
}
