Android : How to set MediaPlayer volume programmatically?

Question

How to set the mediaplayer volume programmatically. I use it for alarm notification. Any help is highly appreciated and thanks in advance.

Answer 1

Read this page right here. It explains very well. Basically, unless your app is a replacement alarm clock, you need to make the following call in the "onCreate()" function:

setVolumeControlStream(AudioManager.STREAM_MUSIC);

In this way you can create the volume of your app using the hardware buttons.

Answer 2

Remember to set left and right speaker volumes.

if (System.nanoTime() == alarm){
    yourMediaPlayer.setVolume(volume, volume)}
}

Answer 3

You can do the below using Kotlin, this code will check if the media volume is more than 20% of the maximum volume of the device, and will reduce it to be 20% only.

    val audio = this.getSystemService(Context.AUDIO_SERVICE) as AudioManager
    val level = audio.getStreamVolume(AudioManager.STREAM_MUSIC)

    val maxVolume = audio.getStreamMaxVolume(AudioManager.STREAM_MUSIC)
    val percent = 0.2f
    val twintyVolume = (maxVolume * percent).toInt()

    if ( level > twintyVolume) {
        Toast.makeText(this,"audio level is $level", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show()
        audio.setStreamVolume(AudioManager.STREAM_MUSIC,twintyVolume,0)
    }

Answer 4

Code:

AudioManager mAudioManager = (AudioManager) mContext.getSystemService(Context.AUDIO_SERVICE);
try 
 {        
   float count = 100 * 0.2f;
   Log.d("--count_float", count + "");
   Log.d("--count_final", Math.round(count) + "");
   Log.d("--count_volume", new 
   PreferenceMotionSensor(mContext).getStreamVolume());
   mAudioManager.setStreamVolume(AudioManager.STREAM_MUSIC, Math.round(count), 0);
 } 
catch (Exception e) 
 {
  Log.d("--Error", e.getMessage());
 }

Output

D/--count_float: 20.0
D/--count_final: 20
D/--count_volume: 100

Answer 5

You do have the setVolume method in the MediaPlayer class. See here

Answer 6

Try This

protected static void setVolume(int volume) {
        currentVolume = volume;
        {
            if (volume == 1) {
                volume = 2;
            }
            try {
                float vol = ((float) volume / CONSTANT.SYSTEM_MAX_VOLUME);
                mediaPlayer.setVolume(vol, vol);
            } catch (Exception e) {
                e.printStackTrace();
            }
        }

    }
