How yo play rington/alarm sound in Android
- by Federico
I have been looking everywhere how to play a $#@&! rington/alarm sound in android.
I press a button and I want to play a rington/alarm sound. I could not find a easy, strsight forward sample... YES! I already looked at Alarm clock source code... but it is not straight forward and I cannot compile it neither.
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 rington/alarm let me know.
I prefer not to upload any file. Just play a default rington.
Thanks,
Federico
