iOS Question Display list of default ringtones in iOS

[Deleted member 103]

Hi,

how can I create a list of all default ringtones?

 

[Erel]

I don't think that it is possible.

I've found something here. Is it possible to use, or are prohibited from apple?

#import <MediaPlayer/MediaPlayer.h>

- (IBAction) AddMusicOrShowMusic: (id) sender
{
    MPMediaPickerController *picker =
    [[MPMediaPickerController alloc] initWithMediaTypes: MPMediaTypeMusic];
    picker.delegate = self;
    picker.allowsPickingMultipleItems   = NO;
    picker.prompt                       = NSLocalizedString (@"Add songs to play", "Prompt in media item picker");
    [[UIApplication sharedApplication] setStatusBarStyle: UIStatusBarStyleDefault animated: YES];
    [self presentViewController:picker animated:YES completion:NULL];
    [picker release];
}

- (void) mediaPicker: (MPMediaPickerController *) mediaPicker didPickMediaItems: (MPMediaItemCollection *) mediaItemCollection
{
    [self dismissViewControllerAnimated:YES completion:nil];
    item = [[mediaItemCollection items] objectAtIndex:0];
       NSURL *url = [item valueForProperty:MPMediaItemPropertyAssetURL];
    NSLog(@"url : %@",url);
}
- (void) mediaPickerDidCancel: (MPMediaPickerController *) mediaPicker
{
    [self dismissViewControllerAnimated:YES completion:nil];
    [[UIApplication sharedApplication] setStatusBarStyle: UIStatusBarStyleBlackOpaque animated: YES];
}

This code will return music items. Anyway it is not possible to run it without creating a new library.

Too bad, in android it was so easy with the code:

    list1.Initialize
    If File.Exists("/system/media/audio","ringtones") Then
        list1.Clear
        list1.AddAll(File.ListFiles("/system/media/audio/ringtones"))
        list1.Sort(True)
        For i = 0 To list1.Size -1
            str=list1.get(i)
            If str.Contains(".") AND str.Length>1 Then
                spnAlarm.Add(str.SubString2(0,str.LastIndexOf(".")))
                lstSound.Add("/system/media/audio/ringtones/" & list1.get(i))
            End If
        Next
    End If

Pity though...

I also just found out that it is not possible to call the standard iOS system icons to use for instance in a CustomListView as a bitmap. There are things which with Android we are taking for granted but simply aren't possible with iOS. Another example is that you cannot scan and list available wifi access-points (you can only get the one the device is currently connected to).

Yes, there are some things that are easier for Apple, but also many that are not possible.

        For i = 0 To list1.Size -1
            str=list1.get(i)
            If str.Contains(".") AND str.Length>1 Then

                lstSound.Add("/system/media/audio/ringtones/" & list1.get(i))
            End If
        Next
    End If

Actually I have managed to create a class (without library )which will let you open media picker, chose a song and play the song with your mediaplayer but I dont know if it can show the ringtones.
If someone interested let me know.

I didnt understood what u are creating but anyway great)

if you will need some help let me know.

To play the song loaded with MediaPicker you need to init a AVAudioPlayer with OBJC.

Hi Narek,

Thanks for sharing the Media picker, unfortunately when I run it It returns null Url's for all audio files. Is this a permission thing? or could it have changed on ios 9.1?

Thanks

Steve

 

[narek adonts]

Maybe your songs are in iCloud?

 

[stevel05]

You may be right actually, I'll have to check that. Thanks for the quick response.

 

[stevel05]

Yes that was it, working now. Thanks

Hello Narek,

I tried your demo and run on my iPhone but I can only see a blank page, can you please let me know how to use your class in more details? I want to use the mediapicker to select a song file and save it into dirDocuments in order to play the song with pitch changed. (please refer to https://www.b4x.com/android/forum/t...playback-rate-pitch-change.78004/#post-494451)

Not sure your class can help on it?

Thank you!

Simon

Tap on the blank page and the mediapicker will appear.

I think that you can pass the URL received from the class to https://www.b4x.com/android/forum/t...playback-rate-pitch-change.78004/#post-494451) and play.

not tested but it should work
