In preferences, select my sound just like with RingtonePreference

Question

I have sounds in my /raw folder and I would like my user to be able to choose one sound in preferences exactly like RingtonePreference does but only with my sounds.

Answer 1

So finally I looked into the source code of ListPreference and made the same with some modifcations. As I can't use com.android.internal.R.styleable.ListPreference I had to create my own styleable in attrs.xml :

and then import it in my preferences.xml file like this:

 xmlns:foo="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/com.abe.abemoto"

and uses it :

In my class CustomSoundListPreference I modified the method onPrepareDialogBuilder to play my sound on item clicked.

    @Override
protected void onPrepareDialogBuilder(Builder builder) {
    super.onPrepareDialogBuilder(builder);

    mMediaPlayer = new MediaPlayer();

    if (mEntries == null || mEntryValues == null) {
        throw new IllegalStateException(
                "ListPreference requires an entries array and an entryValues array.");
    }

    mClickedDialogEntryIndex = getValueIndex();
    builder.setSingleChoiceItems(mEntries, mClickedDialogEntryIndex,
            new DialogInterface.OnClickListener() {
                public void onClick(DialogInterface dialog, int which) {
                    mClickedDialogEntryIndex = which;

                    String value = mEntryValues[which].toString();

                    Resources res = getContext().getResources();
                    int resId = res.getIdentifier(value, "raw",
                            getContext().getPackageName());

                    Uri uri = Uri.parse(String.format(getContext()
                            .getString(R.string.resource_sound),
                            getContext().getPackageName(), resId));

                    Log.d(TAG, "uri sound = " + uri);
                    try {
                        mMediaPlayer.reset();
                        mMediaPlayer.setDataSource(getContext(), uri);
                        mMediaPlayer.prepare();
                        mMediaPlayer.start();

                    } catch (IllegalStateException e) {
                        e.printStackTrace();
                    } catch (IOException e) {
                        e.printStackTrace();
                    }

                }
            });

    builder.setPositiveButton("Ok", this);
    builder.setNegativeButton("Annuler", this);
}
