RingtoneManager

Kotlin |Java

public class RingtoneManager
extends Object

java.lang.Object
↳	android.media.RingtoneManager

RingtoneManager provides access to ringtones, notification, and other types of sounds. It manages querying the different media providers and combines the results into a single cursor. It also provides a Ringtone for each ringtone. We generically call these sounds ringtones, however the TYPE_RINGTONE refers to the type of sounds that are suitable for the phone ringer.

To show a ringtone picker to the user, use the ACTION_RINGTONE_PICKER intent to launch the picker as a subactivity.

Public constructors

RingtoneManager

Added in API level 1

public RingtoneManager (Activity activity)

Constructs a RingtoneManager. This constructor is recommended as its constructed instance manages cursor(s).

Parameters
`activity`	`Activity`: The activity used to get a managed cursor.

RingtoneManager

Added in API level 1

public RingtoneManager (Context context)

Constructs a RingtoneManager. The instance constructed by this constructor will not manage the cursor(s), so the client should handle this itself.

Parameters
`context`	`Context`: The context to used to get a cursor.

Public methods

getActualDefaultRingtoneUri

Added in API level 1

public static Uri getActualDefaultRingtoneUri (Context context, 
                int type)

Gets the current default sound's Uri. This will give the actual sound Uri, instead of using this, most clients can use System.DEFAULT_RINGTONE_URI.

Parameters
`context`	`Context`: A context used for querying.
`type`	`int`: The type whose default sound should be returned. One of `TYPE_RINGTONE`, `TYPE_NOTIFICATION`, or `TYPE_ALARM`.

Returns a Cursor of all the ringtones available. The returned cursor will be the same cursor returned each time this method is called, so do not Cursor.close() the cursor. The cursor can be Cursor.deactivate() safely.

If RingtoneManager.RingtoneManager(Activity) was not used, the caller should manage the returned cursor through its activity's life cycle to prevent leaking the cursor.

Note that the list of ringtones available will differ depending on whether the caller has the Manifest.permission.READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE permission.

Returns
`Cursor`	A `Cursor` of all the ringtones available.

getDefaultUri

Added in API level 1

public static Uri getDefaultUri (int type)

Returns the Uri for the default ringtone of a particular type. Rather than returning the actual ringtone's sound Uri, this will return the symbolic Uri which will resolved to the actual sound when played.

Returns
`Uri`	The `Uri` of the default ringtone for the given type.
