Question

I would like to control media volume with my app using regular volume buttons.
The problem is my app is using short sounds, and they might be annoying for the user. You can only adjust media volume while they are playing (for 1 sec) then it starts to adjust ringer volume.
How can I make media volume default?

Answer 1

In your activity’s onCreate() you can do:

setVolumeControlStream(AudioManager.STREAM_MUSIC);
