How to play ringtone/alarm sound in Android
- by Federico
I have been looking everywhere how to play a ringtone/alarm sound in android.
I press a button and I want to play a ringtone/alarm sound. I could not find a easy, straightforward sample. Yes, I already looked at Alarm clock source code... but it is not straightforward and I cannot compile it.
I cannot make this work:
Uri alert = RingtoneManager.getDefaultUri(RingtoneManager.TYPE_ALARM);
mMediaPlayer = new MediaPlayer();
mMediaPlayer.setDataSource(this, alert);
final AudioManager audioManager = (AudioManager)getSystemService(Context.AUDIO_SERVICE);
if (audioManager.getStreamVolume(AudioManager.STREAM_ALARM) != 0) {
player.setAudioStreamType(AudioManager.STREAM_ALARM);
player.setLooping(true);
player.prepare();
player.start();
}
I get this error:
04-11 17:15:27.638:
ERROR/MediaPlayerService(30): Couldn't
open fd for
content://settings/system/ringtone
So.. please if somebody knows how to play a default ringtone/alarm let me know.
I prefer not to upload any file. Just play a default ringtone.
