Question

I need to know is it possible to play a particular audio file from android in-built ringtone files. For example assume Tone_23 is in android ringtone list, now i need to play this particular tone, when i click a button. I searched in Google i got a guidance how to call/show RingtonePicker Activity (The entire Ringtone list will be displayed). If this possible means, kindly share your thoughts. Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

You can try some thing like this :

/**
 * Play ring tone.
 *
 * @param ringToneTitle the ring tone title
 */
void playRingTone(String ringToneTitle) {
    RingtoneManager ringtoneManager = new RingtoneManager(
            getApplicationContext());
    ringtoneManager.setType(RingtoneManager.TYPE_RINGTONE);

    int length = ringtoneManager.getCursor().getCount();

    for (int i = 0; i < length; i++) {
        Ringtone mRingtone = ringtoneManager.getRingtone(i);
        if (mRingtone != null) {
            Log.d("ringtoneTitle ", mRingtone.getTitle(getApplicationContext()));
            if(ringToneTitle.equalsIgnoreCase(mRingtone
                        .getTitle(getApplicationContext())) {
                mRingtone.play();
            }
        }
    }
}

Hope this helps.

Added : Also have a look at this class 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.
