Android Question Possible bug in RingtoneManager?

[lte5000]

rm.ShowRingtonePicker("rm", rm.TYPE_NOTIFICATION, True, "")

When running this code and selecting the default ringtone it returns: "content://settings/system/ringtone".
It should return: "content://settings/system/notification_sound".

When running the AHPreferenceActivity library on the same phone it will return: "content://settings/system/notification_sound", as it should.
For example, the code below works correctly:

cat1.AddRingtone("ring1", "Choose Alert Sound", "", "", "", cat1.RT_NOTIFICATION)

I found a link where someone had this same problem, and it also has a fix described: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/...sue-default-tone-with-notifications-and-alarm

Thanks,
Kendall

I've tried this code:

Sub Activity_Create(FirstTime As Boolean)
   rm.ShowRingtonePicker("rm", rm.TYPE_NOTIFICATION, True, "")
End Sub

Sub rm_PickerResult (Success As Boolean, Uri As String)
   Log(Uri)
   Dim mp As MediaPlayer
   mp.Initialize
   mp.Load(rm.GetContentDir, Uri)
   mp.Play
End Sub

It correctly plays the default ringtone.

Erel,

Yes, your code plays the default ringtone on my phone, but shouldn't it instead play the default notification sound, or am I mistaken?

I uploaded an example to demonstrate the difference in behavior between the ringtone picker built into AHPreferenceActivity (which I believe is correct) and the RingToneManager picker (which I think is wrong).

Thanks again for your help!

Please use File - Export as zip when uploading projects.

When I ran the code I posted it played the same sound when I chose it from the list and later when PickerResult event was raised. Do you get different results?

OK, I will use the export as zip next time. Should I re-upload the project for you?

When I ran the code I posted it played the same sound when I chose it from the list and later when PickerResult event was raised. Do you get different results?

I get the default ringtone both when I chose it, and when the event is raised.

I now understand. It will be fixed in the next update.
