Android Question Is ringtone playing

[Jmu5667]

Hi All

Android 5.1 has caught me out play ringtone using the media player, direct file access is no longer supported.

I have setup a timer to manage this now, but I need to check if the ringtone is currently being played as I need to loop the ringtone as I was doing using mediaplayer

Sub IsRingtonePlaying() As Boolean
   
  Dim jo As JavaObject
  jo.InitializeStatic("android.media.Ringtone")
  Return jo.RunMethod("isPlaying",Null)
   
End Sub

The about code does not work, please help

Regard John.

Why not use the mediaplayer object????

The user selected the ringtone that they want to use as an alert notification sound. I was using media player to loop the sound playback, but this is not allowed in Android 5.1 anymore. I have already change the code to play the selected ringtone, but I need to check when it finished playing so I can loop it until the user cancels the notification.

You can use the code I posted here to get the ringtone and play it: https://www.b4x.com/android/forum/threads/default-message-sound.56476/#post-355337

You need to get the ringtone object and then you will be able to call isPlaying with JavaObject.
