RingtoneManager

open class RingtoneManager
kotlin.Any
   ↳ android.media.RingtoneManager

RingtoneManager provides access to ringtones, notification, and other types of sounds. It manages querying the different media providers and combines the results into a single cursor. It also provides a Ringtone for each ringtone. We generically call these sounds ringtones, however the TYPE_RINGTONE refers to the type of sounds that are suitable for the phone ringer.

To show a ringtone picker to the user, use the ACTION_RINGTONE_PICKER intent to launch the picker as a subactivity.

    Public constructors

    RingtoneManager

    Added in API level 1
    RingtoneManager(activity: Activity!)

    Constructs a RingtoneManager. This constructor is recommended as its constructed instance manages cursor(s).

    Parameters
    activity Activity!: The activity used to get a managed cursor.

    RingtoneManager

    Added in API level 1
    RingtoneManager(context: Context!)

    Constructs a RingtoneManager. The instance constructed by this constructor will not manage the cursor(s), so the client should handle this itself.

    context Context!: The context to used to get a cursor.

    Public methods

    getActualDefaultRingtoneUri

    Added in API level 1
    open static fun getActualDefaultRingtoneUri(

    If RingtoneManager.RingtoneManager(Activity) was not used, the caller should manage the returned cursor through its activity's life cycle to prevent leaking the cursor.

    Note that the list of ringtones available will differ depending on whether the caller has the android.Manifest.permission#READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE permission.
