Phone sound Question

[bergapappa]

I want the user to change phone music volume with a seekbar.
Found this in the docs.

SetVolume (Channel As Int, VolumeIndex As Int, ShowUI As Boolean)
Sets the volume of the specified channel.
Channel - One of the VOLUME constants.
VolumeIndex - The volume index. GetMaxVolume can be used to find the largest possible value.
ShowUI - Whether to show the volume UI windows.
Example:
Dim p As Phone
p.SetVolume(p.VOLUME_MUSIC, 3, True)

But what values should I choose in the seekbar to get the right values here instead of the "3".
I mean, there has to be a span, like from 1 - 10 or something like that.
What would be the Int for MaxVolume?

TNX in advance to all you helpfull guys!

Check the GetMaxVolume Member here

Tnx, but as I see it this only gives me the max sound. Does this variable not have a integer value that always is the same? Or, do I use this to first set the max value of the seekbar?

 

[stevel05]

Yes, use it to set the seek bar. This will return the Max value for the volume on that device. Chances are it won't change across devices but you never know.

Will get back if it does not work.

Seems like I didn't get it

I do this:
First in Activity Create: barvol2.Max = p.GetMaxVolume(2) -- here I wonder what channel to use?

Then for the change of the seekbar, looks like this:
Sub barvol2_ValueChanged (Value As Int, UserChanged As Boolean)
p.SetVolume(p.VOLUME_MUSIC, Value, True)
End Sub

Can you see what I'm doing wrong?

Provided that you have declared p as a global variable then this should be OK, although you would get an error if you hadn't.

The channel will be the same as the channel you've used in p.SetVolume i.e. p.VOLUME_MUSIC

 

[bergapappa]

But channel in GetMaxVolume should be an integer.
So, how do I know what the integer for Volume_Music is?

 

[stevel05]

p.VOLUME_MUSIC is a variable that holds the Integer.

 

[bergapappa]

Shit man, you really tought me something there.
I was convinced it had to be a number and thought number for Volume_Music was the one I needed to put there.

TNX a lot, more than one thing cleared up around here
