set sound as ringtone or notification in android app

since, im trying to learn the code. I decided to make one of those soundboards. Since, i like having them on my phone. I've been googling for he source codes of these. I've found one main source code of a soundboard project. And, it seems this is really the main one out there that everyone else talks about. Then, I wanted to learn how to set a sound on the soundboard as a ringtone, and notification. Ive been googling for hours and running into the same codes that dont work for me. I can't figure out the codes to set a sound as a ringtone, and or anything else. I've even tried from scratch with no luck.

I can't find anything else on this topic. please help me, and im all googled out just to find the same information.

i want to be able to program a soundboard to set a sound as a ringtone or notification in android/java.

thanks.

            Button btn = (Button) findViewById(R.id.sound1);
            registerForContextMenu(btn);
        }

        @Override
        public void onCreateContextMenu(ContextMenu menu, View v,ContextMenuInfo menuInfo) {
        super.onCreateContextMenu(menu, v, menuInfo);
            menu.setHeaderTitle("Set as...");
            menu.add(0, v.getId(), 0, "Ringtone");
            menu.add(0, v.getId(), 0, "Notification");
        }

        @Override
        public boolean onContextItemSelected(MenuItem item) {
            if(item.getTitle()=="Ringtone"){function1(item.getItemId());}
            else if(item.getTitle()=="Notification"){function2(item.getItemId());}
            else {return false;}
        return true;
        }

        public void function1(int id){
            Toast.makeText(this, "Ringtone Saved", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
        }
        public void function2(int id){
            Toast.makeText(this, "Notification Saved", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
        }




    boolean saveas(int sound1){
         byte[] buffer=null;
         InputStream fIn = getBaseContext().getResources().openRawResource(sound1);
         int size=36462;

         try {
          size = fIn.available();
          buffer = new byte[size];
          fIn.read(buffer);
          fIn.close();
         } catch (IOException e) {
          // TODO Auto-generated catch block
          return false;
         }

         String path="/sdcard/media/audio/ringtones/";
         String filename="sound1.ogg";

         boolean exists = (new File(path)).exists();
         if (!exists){new File(path).mkdirs();}

         FileOutputStream save;
         try {
          save = new FileOutputStream(path+filename);
          save.write(buffer);
          save.flush();
          save.close();
         } catch (FileNotFoundException e) {
          // TODO Auto-generated catch block
          return false;
         } catch (IOException e) {
          // TODO Auto-generated catch block
          return false;
         }    

         sendBroadcast(new Intent(Intent.ACTION_MEDIA_SCANNER_SCAN_FILE, Uri.parse("file://"+path+filename)));

         File k = new File(path, filename);

         ContentValues values = new ContentValues();
         values.put(MediaStore.MediaColumns.DATA, k.getAbsolutePath());
         values.put(MediaStore.MediaColumns.TITLE, "sound1");
         values.put(MediaStore.MediaColumns.MIME_TYPE, "audio/ogg");
         values.put(MediaStore.Audio.Media.ARTIST, "we");
         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);

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

         return false;}

};

Might be something to do with your permissions (you may need data storage permissions).

try converting your sound file from .ogg to .mp3. The media player isn't able to play .ogg files from my experience. If you fix that it should work.
