Question

I want to use a mute button inside my app as bellow :

ImageView muteMusic = (ImageView) findViewById(R.id.muteMusic);
    mAudioManager = (AudioManager) getSystemService(AUDIO_SERVICE);


public void mute(View v) {

    switch (mAudioManager.getRingerMode()) {
    case AudioManager.RINGER_MODE_NORMAL:
        mAudioManager.setRingerMode(AudioManager.RINGER_MODE_SILENT);
        break;
    case AudioManager.RINGER_MODE_SILENT:
        mAudioManager.setRingerMode(AudioManager.RINGER_MODE_NORMAL);
        break;

    }
}

XML

<ImageView
            android:id="@+id/muteMusic"
            android:layout_width="wrap_content"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:layout_marginLeft="200dp"
            android:layout_marginTop="120dp"
            android:layout_toRightOf="@id/info"
            android:onClick="mute"
            android:src="@drawable/volbutton" />

but its not working , I dont know why ! no errors and no crashes ! but it does not make any action when I click on it

Answer 1

The problem is that you’re muting the ringer instead of your music stream.

Instead of using

mAudioManager.setRingerMode(AudioManager.RINGER_MODE_SILENT);

use

mAudioManager.setStreamMute(AudioManager.STREAM_MUSIC, true);

Please refer to the API documentation for information on how to manage muting/unmuting within your application regarding releasing resources.
