Set sound as ringtone without WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE permission?

As far I know, to set a sound as ringtone it should be inserted in MediaStore. And for writing in MediaStore, WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE permission is required. But... is there a way to set a sound (a MP3 file in external storage, for example) as ringtone without requiring WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE permission?

You should use Android's RingtoneManager. There is a method called [setActualDefaultRingtoneUri](http://developer.android.com/reference/android/media/RingtoneManager.html#setActualDefaultRingtoneUri(android.content.Context, int, android.net.Uri)):

public static void setActualDefaultRingtoneUri (Context context, int type, Uri ringtoneUri)

Sets the Uri of the default sound for a given sound type.

Parameters

  • context: a context used for querying.
  • type: the type whose default sound should be set. One of TYPE_RINGTONE, TYPE_NOTIFICATION, or TYPE_ALARM
  • ringtoneUri: a Uri pointing to the default sound to set.

You can get the Uri of a file by using File.toURI().
