Android Question Looking for a library to set default ringtone, notification and alarm sounds

[rleiman]

Hi Everyone,

Is it possible to to the following in B4A?

1. Find out the location of every sound file on a phone and store the file path and file name of those files in SQLite.

2. Be able to set the default ringtone or default alarm or default notification sounds based on the sound files from number 1.

If the answer is yes, please let me know what libraries I can use.

Thanks.

The correct way is to use ContentChooser to let the user choose the audio file and then set it with RingtoneManager.

Hi Erel,

Thanks for the reply.

Can you show the coding need to get all of the audio files with the ContentResolver? It looks like that may be what you call the ContentChooser.

Thanks.

See the documentation: https://www.b4x.com/android/help/phone.html#contentchooser

Hi Erel,

Thanks for the phone library information.

Is it possible to get the results of the content chooser into a cursor that contains the uri and name of the all audio files on a phone?

At least I can now choose those files from a chooser but would also like to store those into a cursor.

CC.Show("audio/*", "Choose audio file")

Thanks.

No. You can only use it to let the user choose the audio file.

Hi Erel,

Thanks.

I tried it and like the chooser navigation bar/menu. I would like to use that same type of navigation in my app. Does B4A have a library that will allow me to duplicate that type of navigation my the app?
