How enable looping on a Ringtone instance for API lower than 28?

I have the following method

    private void playRingtone() {
        Uri sound = Uri.parse(Constants.ANDROID_RESOURCE_ROOT + this.getPackageName() +
                Constants.SLASH_SEPARATOR + R.raw.sound);
        this.ringtone = RingtoneManager.getRingtone(this.getApplicationContext(), sound);
        this.ringtone.setLooping(Boolean.TRUE);
        this.ringtone.play();
    }

On line setLooping(Boolean.TRUE);, the following message is appeared

Call requires API level 28 (current min is 21): android.media.Ringtone#setLooping

Has the Ringtone instance any other method that replaces setLooping on APIs lower than 28?

You could try adding a timerTask inside a scheduleAtFixedRate to check if it is still playing

It goes something like this

Timer timer = new Timer(); 
timer.scheduleAtFixedRate(new TimerTask() {
    public void run() {
        if (!this.ringtone.isPlaying()) {
            this.ringtone.play();
        }
    }
}, 1000, 100);

Where the 1000 is the time when the timer starts to run and 100 is the time for interval

Hope this help

No, it does not have a setLooping method replacement. There is only a play() method, and that is what you will be forced to work with.
