I'm using a mediaPlayer to play sounds in my application. I want the user to be able to adjust the volume by using the hardware buttons on the device. I tried putting this in my oncreate (setVolumeControlStream (AudioManager.STREAM_MUSIC);) but it didn't seem to work. Is there something else I have to do to allow the user to be able to adjust the volume?

Im using a mediaPlayer to play sounds in my application. I want the user to be able to adjust the volume by using the hardware buttons on the device. I tried putting this in my oncreate (setVolumeControlStream (AudioManager.STREAM_MUSIC);) but it didnt seem to work. Anytime i press the hardware buttons on the emulator or an actual phone hothing happens. the volume doesnt change and i dont see the volume leve appear on the screen. Every other app i have used works just fine except for mine. Is there something else I have to do to allow the user to be able to adjust the volume using the hardware buttons?
View 5 Replies View RelatedI'm writing an Android application that plays back voice mails using Media Player, which are just WAV files that have been sent to the device. When I play the file, it's played on the device's speaker, or else it plays through headphones if they're plugged in. What I want to do is play the file so that it sounds to the user as if it's at the same volume level as a normal phone call. Is there a way to route playback so that the file is played through the phone's ear piece instead of out of the speaker?
View 2 Replies View RelatedOn one page of my app there are sounds. Is there a line of code to allow the volume up/down buttons to switch to media volume control for that page of the app only? Or do I need to set it for the entire app, and how do I do that?

View 27 Replies View RelatedRecently purchased the Virgin Mobile Supreme (Sprint Vital, ZTE N9810). The one thing that is bothering me is that there is only one volume setting for the combined ringtone and notifications. I would like to set these volumes separately.
I tried one volume control tool, but even though it had 'separate' controls changing ringtone changed notification and vice versa.
I noticed that when turning down the volume of the ringer with the volume rocker it doesn't automatically turn down the notification volume as well. Is there a way to set the volume rocker to adjust both notification and ringer volume to the same level? You can test this by going under Settings/Sound and Display/Ringer Volume...and try adjusting the volume with the rocker and it only adjust the Ringer Volume.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have Android 4.2 on my mobile phone which I have bought recently.
Everything is running fine on my phone so far but with the exception of my clock's alarm volume.
For example:I set the alarm volume to max, I go and set my clock alarm to ring and when the alarm rings the volume is set to very low.When I check back to verify the volume, the volume is set to very low. I am very sure that I have set it to max though.
I have tried to reset my phone to factory settings, it didn't work..
I don't know if it's from some app I installed or what. But I noticed recently that suddenly the volume rocker only controls the Media Volume or the In-call volume (if you're in a call), not the Ringer Volume. I don't have anything playing, so not sure why it's like that. I want it to default to ringer and I'll worry about Media when I'm actually in a program that uses it.

However, I was disappointed with its e-mail capabilities (or lack thereof) and quickly got rid of it.Due to the nature of my work, I use several different e-mail accounts and I need to be able to access them using imap so that when I move or delete an e-mail locally, it gets updated on the server. Can the G1 accommodate this? For each e-mail account, can you specify things like imap and smtp server?I use a gmail account, a google apps account and three other accounts with other e-mail providers.

View 3 Replies View RelatedI know Android cannot handle PDFs natively. However, the Nexus One (and possibly other phones) come pre-Installed with QuickOffice Viewer. How would I determine whether the user has a PDF viewer installed?
Currently, the code to start the PDF download looks pretty simple:
Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW);
intent.setData(Uri.parse(url));
startActivity(intent);
After the download, the user clicks on the downloaded file to invoke the viewer.
However, if there is no PDF viewer, Android reports "Cannot download. The content is not supported on the phone."
I want to determine if the user will get this message, and if so, direct them to PDF apps in the Android Market.
Is there any "best practice" to deal with plural messages? code...
How could that be done?
Maybe some of you has an application with quotations or jokes or something. I would like to make a similar. So how can I get the i. element of my string array (which is in arrays.xml)? I don't want to load the whole array in a String[], because it can be too big. Or it's not a good idea to put them into arrays.xml? How do you handle thousands of strings?
View 24 Replies View RelatedI see that as of API Level 8, you can request a handle to special directories with Environment.getExternalStoragePublicDirectory. This takes a type such as DIRECTORY_MUSIC, DIRECTORY_PICTURES, etc.
I'm looking for an equivalent directory for other media types such as documents (Word docs, PDFs, etc.). My HTC Desire has a "/sdcard/My Documents/" folder which looks like exactly what I want, but it has no DIRECTORY_ specifier for use with the above method. Is this a standard Android directory which I can rely on?
If I can't use getExternalStoragePublicDirectory, I have to use getExternalStorageDirectory instead which just points me to the root of the SD card. I can explicitly check for the presence of "My Documents" under the root and use it if it's there.
This is what I have:
CODE:..........
Is there a better way?
I know that by default a screen orientation change destroys and recreates an activity, so the activity can load new layout, drawable, and string resources.
I also read about using onRetainNonConfigurationInstance() to save an Object before rotating and getLastNonConfigurationInstance() to restore it after.
But realistically, what are the special cases when an app would use android:configChanges="orientation|keyboard|keyboardHidden" to avoid activity recreation during orientation change? Are there any gotchas involved in using configChanges?http://developer.android.com/reference/android/app/Activity.html#Conf...
I want to set an alarm in my application which will be triggered each day. According to the doc, I have to set a one-time alarm, and in the BroadcastReceiver which will receive the alarm signal, reset the alarm for the day after. Is that correct ?
My BroadcastReceiver handles well the wakelock and launch a service which releases this wakelock. Everything works fine here.
However I have problems. In my application there is a checkbox which is checked when alarm is up. To know if my alarm is up, I use the following condition :
CODE:...................
But this doesn't seem to work very well, is that a good way to know if an alarm is up ?
I'm developing an media player application for Android, for which I need to handle any Alarm notification, and based on that I'll pause my playback. When the Alarm in snoozed or dismissed, I'll then resume the playback.
I googled a lot for the Alarm handling, but what I found was the way to enable Alarm notifications through code, set the intent and then handle it. However, no where could I locate just handling the Alarm notification part. I don't need to set the Alarm on, it could've been set by the user, and I don't need to programmatically. All I need is just handle that notification.
