Android Question RingtoneManager won't stop

NeoTechni · May 28, 2021

I've searched already and the 3 other topics about stopping the RingtoneManager don't actually use it for playing, they use a separate JavaObject to play and use the RingtoneManager just to look up the URI.

I am using it to play, and now it won't stop till I full-stop the app
I tried RM.Play("") and that just plays the notification noise.

How do you stop the RingetoneManager? I assume it has the ability cause otherwise it's playback capabilities are useless

I still need an answer to this question despite the previous thread being closed.

You should try to use soundpool instead because you'll have more control:

B4A - Audio

How do you stop the RingetoneManager though? I assume it has the ability cause otherwise it's playback capabilities are useless

If you're not getting answers, probably people here haven't used this way to play sounds.
Maybe you can upload a small project showing the issue in order other people can try and test.

B4X:

'theType: -1=Stop, 0=Notification, 1=Alarm, 2=Ringtone
Sub UseRingtone(theType As Int, Optional FullVolume As Boolean = True)
    Private p As Phone, V As Int , NotificationManager As JavaObject, RM As RingtoneManager
    Select Case theType
        Case -1'STOP
            
            Log("STOP PLAYING!")
            Return
        Case 0
            theType = RM.TYPE_NOTIFICATION
            V = p.VOLUME_NOTIFICATION
        Case 1
            theType = RM.TYPE_ALARM
            V = p.VOLUME_ALARM
        Case 2
            theType = RM.TYPE_RINGTONE
            v = p.VOLUME_RING
    End Select
    If FullVolume And p.SdkVersion >= 24 Then
        NotificationManager = NotificationManager.InitializeContext.RunMethod("getSystemService", Array("notification"))
        If NotificationManager.RunMethod("isNotificationPolicyAccessGranted", Null) = True Then
            p.SetVolume(V , p.GetMaxVolume(V), False)
        End If
    End If
    RM.Play(RM.GetDefault(theType))
End Sub

You are consistently making it difficult for me to help you, but I will try one last time:

Updates to internal libraries

Updates to internal B4A libraries will be posted here. Make sure to check the library version before updating. These libraries should be copied to the internal libraries folder (Program Files\Anywhere Software\B4A\Libraries).

I don't know what you mean by that. I wasn't trying to insult the code but make a logical statement like how a car without brakes is useless as a car. As I tried the thing and it kept playing till I crashed it so I assumed I was missing something simple

If you mean that I should have looked for that thread, it didn't show up when I searched. 3 Old topics asking the same question that didn't actually solve the problem showed up and I was trying to be polite by not asking in them even though I feel making another topic makes it harder for the next person to find the answer. I even checked stack overflow since I keep running into people there

thank you for the solution
