How to set ringtone in Android from my activity?

Question

I\'m trying to find a way to set a new default ringtone by code from my Android activity.

I have already downloaded the ringtone into a bytearray.

Answer 1

public void setRingtone() {
  String ringtoneuri = Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory().getAbsolutePath() + "/media/ringtone";
  File file1 = new File(ringtoneuri);
  file1.mkdirs();
  File newSoundFile = new File(ringtoneuri, "myringtone.mp3");


  Uri mUri = Uri.parse("android.resource://globalapps.funnyringtones/raw/sound_two.mp3");


  ContentResolver mCr = 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/mp3");
  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 {
   Uri rUri = RingtoneManager.getValidRingtoneUri(this);
   if (rUri != null)
    ringtoneManager.setStopPreviousRingtone(true);
   RingtoneManager.setActualDefaultRingtoneUri(getApplicationContext(), RingtoneManager.TYPE_RINGTONE, newUri);
   Toast.makeText(this, "New Rigntone set", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
  } catch (Throwable t) {
   Log.e("sanjay in catch", "catch exception"+e.getMessage());
  }

 }
