Question

Hello I wonder how to set a custom alarm tone.

This is my code:

RingtoneManager.setActualDefaultRingtoneUri(
                    this,
                    RingtoneManager.TYPE_ALARM,
                    newUri
                    );

It is working for notications / sounds but not for alarms ( :S ) ?

Thanks in advance

Answer 1

you can use this code

Uri alert = RingtoneManager.getDefaultUri(RingtoneManager.TYPE_ALARM);
 if(alert == null){
     // alert is null, using backup
     alert = RingtoneManager.getDefaultUri(RingtoneManager.TYPE_NOTIFICATION);
     if(alert == null){  // I can't see this ever being null (as always have a default notification) but just incase
         // alert backup is null, using 2nd backup
         alert = RingtoneManager.getDefaultUri(RingtoneManager.TYPE_RINGTONE);               
     }
 }
