Android :: Setting Ringtone Notification From SD Card File
Jun 12, 2010
My goal is to set the users notification sound from a file that is stored onto the SD card from with in the application. I am using this code:
CODE:.........
When I run this on the device I keep getting the error:
CODE:.................
I have seen others using this technique and I can't find any documentation on which values actually need to be passed in to successfully add the file into the Android system so that it can be set as a notification.

Back when I got my phone, I transfered an MP3 from the computer to the SD card and selected it as ringtone. it is still there and still works.....but now, after the OTA update, when I go into settings/phone ringtone this sound is not on the list. How do I get it back?
Also, under notifications, in the list of sounds the ones on my SD card are not there. I have a sound stored on the card that I would like to set as the notification. I mounted the card to my computer to verify that these files are indeed on the SD card. The phone just isn't seeing them in the list of available sounds...but, they do play if I go into MP3 or Music app.

I have the zedge app and downloaded ringers and message tones, but when I set them as my defaults, I still get the hero ringer/notification sound instead. How can I stop my phone from doing that so the zedge ringer and notification sounds I choose stay?

I'd like to set a new default ringtone without using the ringtone picker. In other words, there is a certain ringtone that is already installed on my system, and I want to programmatically set it to be my default ringtone without any human interaction. The reason I want this is because every time I reboot my N-1, my previous default ringtone setting gets forgotten, and I am given another ringtone that I don't like. I want to set up an app that I can run manually (or better yet, to cause to automatically run upon startup) which will reset my default ringtone to the one that I like without my having to manually do this via the Settings.
The only examples I have found so far for doing this involve using the ringtone picker, but as far as I can tell, this requires human interaction, which I want to avoid.

I have a none branded/unlocked Desire with firmware version 2.10.405.2, now, there used to be an option in older firmware versions, how old i can't remeber, to enable a sound notification for SD Card events, such as unmounting, mounting, etc, but this option seems to have been removed, at least on my phone, could someone please take a look through thier phone settings and confirm if this option is there, or not, i used to enable this option when connecting to the PC so i would know when the SD Card had unmounted/mounted.

Hey all, so I just got a Samsung Galaxy finally in the mail. It took long enough to figure out how to put music on it, then use my music for ringtones. But when I am in Settings for Notification Ringtones, I do not see the mp3 I added but only in Calling Ringtones. Why is this? I want to use the same ringtone for notifications too!.

My fiance upgraded from LG Voyager to Droid 2. She wanted her old ringtones from the Verizon Media store so she downloaded them. When she stored them they were given default names. I was able to make the appropriate ringtone associations, except for voicemail. I have 2 questions:
1. How do you set a ringtone for voicemail? When I run the standard voicemail app (Verizon) I cannot being up a menu.
2. How do I change the name of a ringtone file?

I want to change the ringtone for a contact or group of contacts but when I do the brief clip of the new ringtone does not play. I added an mp3 to the sd card, I created a folder called media/audio/ringtones and put my mp3 there. I can select it when I go to change ringtones but it does not play briefly and when someone rings it does not play at all, in fact none of the default ringtones play briefly either, nothing plays.

Can anyone recommend a good app that will open up music as a ringtone? On my old Droid, I had Handcent and that opened it up. However, on my X, I actually kind of like the stock messaging app, so can anyone recommend an app that will do this?

Recently I've been getting a lot of calls from 'UNKNOWN' at stupid O'clock in the morning. Is there a way of doing any of the following...
a) set the phone so that calls from UNKNOWN get sent directly to voicemail.
b) set the phone so that calls from numbers *NOT* in my contact list get sent directly to voicemail.
c) set the ringtone for 'UNKNOWN'.
d) set the ringtone for numbers NOT in my contacts.
If someone is unwilling to reveal their phone number then they don't deserve my attention, especially at 8.30am in the morning and extra especially on a Saturday.

Droid. I have a tiny WAV file I'd like to use as a ringtone, how do I get the Droid to recognize it as a ringtone so I can select it from the ringtone menu? I have a feeling it has to have a certain dot-extension to make the droid recognize it as a ringtone....

This seems like such an obvious thing, but I can't figure out how to use my own customized notification ringtone. I can long press on any music or sound effect and select assign as phone ringtone, but how do I set it as a msg notification ringtone like for when receiving SMS msgs? I have Acer Liquid running Eclair 2.1 btw.

I can't find out how to change the ringtone in the Calendar. According to Google's website, once in the Calendar, click Menu->More Settings->Alerts & Notifications. However, the 'More Settings' options is not visible to me when i click menu in the Calendar. The options visivle are: agenda, day, week, month, new event, today, and manage. What's going on? I have a Canadian Rogers HTC Dream phone. The firmware says 1.5.

I'm saving a sound from my app to be used as a ringtone or a notification sound. Here's part of my code, taken from this page:
CODE:................
My understanding is that the sound will be saved as well as a ringtone, a notification sound and an alarm, as the flags are all set to "true". At least on the emulator this does work but on the actual device, the sound only shows up in the ringtone list, and I have no idea why.
I've tried to investigate further: removing the line with "IS_RINGTONE" won't change anything (in case only one flag can be used at a time), the sound doesn't show up in the list with the notification-sounds.

I installed the Zedge app and downloaded a ringtone and notification tone I want to use. I set them as the tones in my options, but it's like it doesn't save or something. The tones just keep going back to the ones I had them set to originally that were already on the phone.

I was wondering if anyone knows how to set a ringtone from the sdcard correctly cause obviously I'm doing it wrong. For some reason, I'll set the ringtone(it's actually picked randomly) as the default ringtone using the RingtoneManager.setActualDefaultRingtoneUri() method. This works, and it show's that ringtone as the default ringtone in the settings menu (as well as plays the correct tone), but when I get called it plays a system ring instead of that default ringtone I set. Has anyone else ran into this problem?? I've been looking everywhere online with no luck. I actually have a feeling it has something with the formatting of the Uri but I'm not sure on how else to format it.
My current format: Uri ringtoneUri = Uri.fromFile(new File(directory +"/" + ringtones.get (whatTone)));
directory = "/sdcard/media/ringtones" --- Just an example, this is actually user generated ringtones.get(whatTone) = "BlindedInChains.mp3" --- Also just an example
End result of this format: "file:///sdcard/media/ringtones/BlindedInChains.mp3"
Is this wrong?

You can add and manage your own sounds without a 3rd party app. manager.I copied some n otifications from the root to alarms on sdcard, "heaven" is sweet to wake defaults.
