Android Ringtone and RingtoneManager Example | Get Default and Current Ringtone
June 03, 2015
This page will walk through the android Ringtone and RingtoneManager Example and provide the demo to get default and current ringtone. Ringtone and RingtoneManager classes are used for all types of sounds such as phone ringer, notification, alarm etc. Ringtone instance is obtained by RingtoneManager by passing type of sound. In our example I will discuss some public methods of Ringtone and RingtoneManager and will provide the demo to play current ringtone and display default and current ringtone title.
Ringtone
android.media.Ringtone API handles sound related task like ringtone, notification, alarm etc. We get the instance of Ringtone using RingtoneManager. Some public methods of Ringtone are described as below.
getAudioAttributes(): Returns
AudioAttributes instance.
getTitle(Context context) : Gets the title of sound.
isPlaying() : Checks if sound is playing or not.
play() : On calling of this method, sound starts playing.
stop() : It stops the playing sound.
RingtoneManager
android.media.RingtoneManager is used to access all types of sounds like ringtone, notification and alarm etc. Using RingtoneManager, we get the instance of Ringtone. Find some constants by which we differentiate sound type.
TYPE_ALARM: refers sound type as alarm.
TYPE_NOTIFICATION: Indicates sounds to be notification.
TYPE_RINGTONE: Refers sounds to be phone ringer.
Now find some public methods of
RingtoneManager.
getActualDefaultRingtoneUri(Context context, int type): Returns
Uri of current default sounds.
getCursor(): Returns
Cursor for the ringtones.
getRingtone(Context context, Uri ringtoneUri): On passing ringtone Uri and context, it returns
Ringtone.
Get Default Ringtone using Settings.System.DEFAULT_RINGTONE_URI
Using Settings.System.DEFAULT_RINGTONE_URI, we can get default ringtone as follows.
Ringtone defaultRingtone = RingtoneManager.getRingtone(getActivity(),
Settings.System.DEFAULT_RINGTONE_URI);
Get Current Ringtone
We can write the code as below to get current phone ringer.
Uri currentRintoneUri = RingtoneManager.getActualDefaultRingtoneUri(getActivity()
.getApplicationContext(), RingtoneManager.TYPE_RINGTONE);
Ringtone currentRingtone = RingtoneManager.getRingtone(getActivity(), currentRintoneUri);
Complete Example
Here I am providing a complete example. I will demo to fetch default and current ringtone title and will play current ringtone, too.Fragment and FragmentActivity Classes

View view = inflater.inflate(R.layout.output_fragment, viewGroup, false);
TextView output;
output= (TextView)view.findViewById(R.id.ringtone);
//fetch default Ringtone
Ringtone defaultRingtone = RingtoneManager.getRingtone(getActivity(),
Settings.System.DEFAULT_RINGTONE_URI);
//fetch current Ringtone
Uri currentRintoneUri = RingtoneManager.getActualDefaultRingtoneUri(getActivity()
.getApplicationContext(), RingtoneManager.TYPE_RINGTONE);
Ringtone currentRingtone = RingtoneManager.getRingtone(getActivity(), currentRintoneUri);
//display Ringtone title
output.setText(defaultRingtone.getTitle(getActivity())+" and " +
"Current Ringtone:"+currentRingtone.getTitle(getActivity()));
//play current Ringtone
currentRingtone.play();
return view;
}
}
