setting raw resource as a ringtone

Question

I have read these 2 posts link1 and this one link2 but code does not seem to work for me.

Here is my code:

File newSoundFile = new File("/sdcard/media/ringtone", "myringtone.oog");
            Uri mUri = Uri.parse("android.resource://com.pack.android.myapp/R.raw.song1");
            ContentResolver mCr = Main.this.getContentResolver();
            AssetFileDescriptor soundFile;
            try {
                   soundFile= mCr.openAssetFileDescriptor(mUri, "r");
               } catch (FileNotFoundException e) {
                   soundFile=null;   
               }

               try {
                  byte[] readData = new byte[1024];
                  FileInputStream fis = soundFile.createInputStream();
                  FileOutputStream fos = new FileOutputStream(newSoundFile);
                  int i = fis.read(readData);

                  while (i != -1) {
                    fos.write(readData, 0, i);
                    i = fis.read(readData);
                  }

                  fos.close();
               } catch (IOException io) {
               }
               ContentValues values = new ContentValues();
               values.put(MediaStore.MediaColumns.DATA, newSoundFile.getAbsolutePath());
               values.put(MediaStore.MediaColumns.TITLE, "my ringtone");
               values.put(MediaStore.MediaColumns.MIME_TYPE, "audio/oog");
               values.put(MediaStore.MediaColumns.SIZE, newSoundFile.length());
               values.put(MediaStore.Audio.Media.ARTIST, R.string.app_name);
               values.put(MediaStore.Audio.Media.IS_RINGTONE, true);
               values.put(MediaStore.Audio.Media.IS_NOTIFICATION, true);
               values.put(MediaStore.Audio.Media.IS_ALARM, true);
               values.put(MediaStore.Audio.Media.IS_MUSIC, false);

               Uri uri = MediaStore.Audio.Media.getContentUriForPath(newSoundFile.getAbsolutePath());
               Uri newUri = mCr.insert(uri, values);


               try {
                   RingtoneManager.setActualDefaultRingtoneUri(Main.this, RingtoneManager.TYPE_RINGTONE, newUri);
               } catch (Throwable t) {
                  // Log.d(TAG, "catch exception");
               }

and I am getting a force close. Logcat is here:

soundFile seems to be null. Why is that? My song is song1.mpe and is in the raw folder under the res.

Permission added in the manifest:

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE"/>
    <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WRITE_SETTINGS"></uses-permission>

Answer 1

This is the code i used! very helpfull to me especially this tutorial !

 String exStoragePath = Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory().getAbsolutePath();
 String path=(exStoragePath +"/media/alarms/"); 

saveas(RingtoneManager.TYPE_RINGTONE);

sendBroadcast(new Intent(Intent.ACTION_MEDIA_MOUNTED, Uri.parse("file://"+path+filename+".mp3"
      + Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory()))); 


File k = new File(path, filename);

ContentValues values = new ContentValues(4);
long current = System.currentTimeMillis();
values.put(MediaStore.MediaColumns.DATA, path + filename  );
values.put(MediaStore.MediaColumns.TITLE,  filename );
values.put(MediaStore.Audio.Media.DATE_ADDED, (int) (current / 1000));
values.put(MediaStore.Audio.Media.MIME_TYPE, "audio/3gpp");

 //new
 values.put(MediaStore.Audio.Media.ARTIST, "cssounds ");
 values.put(MediaStore.Audio.Media.IS_RINGTONE, true);
 values.put(MediaStore.Audio.Media.IS_NOTIFICATION, false);
 values.put(MediaStore.Audio.Media.IS_ALARM, true);
 values.put(MediaStore.Audio.Media.IS_MUSIC, false);  

// Insert it into the database
 this.getContentResolver()
.insert(MediaStore.Audio.Media.getContentUriForPath(k
 .getAbsolutePath()), values);

HAPPY CODING!

Answer 2

Put your ringtone sound in assets folder and use this code

Uri path = Uri.parse("android.resource://yourpackagename/raw/yoursoundfile")
RingtoneManager.setActualDefaultRingtoneUri(
                    getApplicationContext(), RingtoneManager.TYPE_RINGTONE,
                    path);
            Log .i("TESTT", "Ringtone Set to Resource: "+ path.toString());
            RingtoneManager.getRingtone(getApplicationContext(), path)
                    .play();

Add this permission to AndroidManifest.xml:

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WRITE_SETTINGS" />
