MP play other sounds

[rfresh]

I'm using the following code to play the ringtone using the media player. I'm adding an IF statement to play the Notifications sound but notifications doesn't work. I get a runtime error File Not Found Exception.

Sub Play_Ringer
    Dim r As Reflector
    r.Target = "ContentDir"
    r.Target = r.RunMethod("intern")    
   If Main.pPhoneType = "NONE" Then
      mpp.Load(r.Target, "content://settings/system/notifications")
   Else
      mpp.Load(r.Target, "content://settings/system/ringtone")
   End If
    mpp.Play
End Sub

I'm not sure that this is the correct way to play notifications sound.

Apparently not.

I saw this piece of code while searching for Notification playing examples. But this is for non-B4A Android. I wonder if this was converted to B4A if it would play the Notification sound?

Uri notification = RingtoneManager.getDefaultUri(RingtoneManager.TYPE_NOTIFICATION);
Ringtone r = RingtoneManager.getRingtone(getApplicationContext(), notification);
r.play();

I also tried these two lines (now remmed out) but they produced the same runtime error.

Sub Play_Ringer
    Dim r As Reflector
    r.Target = "ContentDir"
    r.Target = r.RunMethod("intern")    
   If Main.pPhoneType = "NONE" Then
      'mpp.Load(r.Target, "content://settings/system/notification")
      'mpp.Load(r.Target, "my.package.name/raw/notification")      
   Else
      mpp.Load(r.Target, "content://settings/system/ringtone")
   End If
    mpp.Play
End Sub

I think there're wrong path. I play them well on my phone:

mp.Load(r.Target, "content://settings/system/ringtone")
mp.Load(r.Target, "content://settings/system/notification_sound")
mp.Load(r.Target, "content://settings/system/alarm_alert")

Thanks Susu, that did work!!!

    mpp.Play
End Sub

What kink of variable is mpp?

Thanks.

You have to initialize the MediaPlayer using that name:

Dim mpp As MediaPlayer

What is Main.pPhoneType ??

Thank you
