How to Set Ringtone in Android from My Activity

How to set ringtone in Android from my activity?

Finally, I managed to set the default ringtone to one that i downloaded.
The download code is not included below, only what was needed to set it as default ringtone.

File k = new File(path, "mysong.mp3"); // path is a file to /sdcard/media/ringtone

ContentValues values = new ContentValues();
values.put(MediaStore.MediaColumns.DATA, k.getAbsolutePath());
values.put(MediaStore.MediaColumns.TITLE, "My Song title");
values.put(MediaStore.MediaColumns.SIZE, 215454);
values.put(MediaStore.MediaColumns.MIME_TYPE, "audio/mp3");
values.put(MediaStore.Audio.Media.ARTIST, "Madonna");
values.put(MediaStore.Audio.Media.DURATION, 230);
values.put(MediaStore.Audio.Media.IS_RINGTONE, true);
values.put(MediaStore.Audio.Media.IS_NOTIFICATION, false);
values.put(MediaStore.Audio.Media.IS_ALARM, false);
values.put(MediaStore.Audio.Media.IS_MUSIC, false);

//Insert it into the database
Uri uri = MediaStore.Audio.Media.getContentUriForPath(k.getAbsolutePath());
Uri newUri = this.getContentResolver().insert(uri, values);

RingtoneManager.setActualDefaultRingtoneUri(
  myActivity,
  RingtoneManager.TYPE_RINGTONE,
  newUri
);  

Anyway, I do not totally understand what this code is doing.

The Ringtone manager needs a uri to the file that is to be set as new ringtone. But this uri can not be directly to the sdcard like "/sdcard/media/ringtones/mysong.mp3". That does not work!

What you need is the external file uri of the file which could be something like
"/external/audio/media/46"

The 46 is the id of the column in the MediaStore database, so thats why you need to add the sdcard file into the database first.

Anyway, how does mediastore maintain its ids? This number can get really high, as you do this operation many times.

Do i need to delete this row my self? Problem is that some times i dont even controll the deleting of the file since it can be deleted directly from the sdcard with a filebrowser.

How can I set a ringtone programmatically android

ContentValues values = new ContentValues();
   values.put(MediaStore.MediaColumns.DATA, ringFile.getAbsolutePath());
   values.put(MediaStore.MediaColumns.TITLE, "ring");
   values.put(MediaStore.MediaColumns.MIME_TYPE, "audio/mp3");
   values.put(MediaStore.MediaColumns.SIZE, rindFile.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(ringFile.getAbsolutePath());
   Uri newUri = mCr.insert(uri, values);


   try {
       RingtoneManager.setActualDefaultRingtoneUri(getContext(), RingtoneManager.TYPE_RINGTONE, newUri);
   } catch (Throwable t) {

   }

where ringFile is your file path of your ringtone.

Android change Ringtone from activity

The solution of this is to add folder ringtone in audio ( /sdcard/media/audio/ringtone/ )
and you can add mp3 in this folder so lather on they will be shown in the list

How to set a file as a ringtone for Android 10?

You can't access directly using a File interface anymore in Android 10, in addition you can't access to the DATA column. You can remove your method getFile and you need to change the method setAsRingtone():

 public void setAsRingtone() {


    ContentValues values = new ContentValues();
    values.put(MediaStore.MediaColumns.TITLE, sound.getTitle());
    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 newUri = getContentResolver().insert(MediaStore.Audio.Media.EXTERNAL_CONTENT_URI, values);
    try (OutputStream os = getContentResolver().openOutputStream(newUri)) {
         //copy your file from asset into os here
    } catch(Exception ignored) {
    }
    RingtoneUtils.setRingtone(this, newUri, type);
}

Set a selected audio file as ringtone

I saw many posts but anyone showed what i should actually have to do. So i decided to create this complete answer , in which i have the solution of my problem...

Here is my MainActivity.java which i used

import java.io.File;
import android.app.Activity;
import android.content.ContentValues;
import android.content.Intent;
import android.media.RingtoneManager;
import android.net.Uri;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.provider.MediaStore;
import android.view.View;
import android.widget.Button;

public class MainActivity extends Activity {
    Button b;

    @Override
    public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.activity_main2);
        b = (Button) findViewById(R.id.button2);
        b.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
            @Override
            public void onClick(View arg0) {

                Intent intent1 = new Intent();
                intent1.setAction(Intent.ACTION_GET_CONTENT);
                intent1.setType("audio/*");
                startActivityForResult(
                    Intent.createChooser(intent1, "Choose Sound File"), 6);
            }
        });
    }

    @Override
    protected void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent data) {
        if (resultCode == RESULT_OK && requestCode == 6) {
            Uri i = data.getData();  // getData
            String s = i.getPath(); // getPath
            File k = new File(s);  // set File from path
            if (s != null) {      // file.exists

                ContentValues values = new ContentValues();
                values.put(MediaStore.MediaColumns.DATA, k.getAbsolutePath());
                values.put(MediaStore.MediaColumns.TITLE, "ring");
                values.put(MediaStore.MediaColumns.MIME_TYPE, "audio/mp3");
                values.put(MediaStore.MediaColumns.SIZE, k.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(k
                    .getAbsolutePath());
                getContentResolver().delete(
                    uri,
                    MediaStore.MediaColumns.DATA + "=\""
                            + k.getAbsolutePath() + "\"", null);
                Uri newUri = getContentResolver().insert(uri, values);

                try {
                    RingtoneManager.setActualDefaultRingtoneUri(
                        MainActivity.this, RingtoneManager.TYPE_RINGTONE,
                        newUri);
                } catch (Throwable t) {

                }
            }
        }
    }
}

Lastly, its really important to add those permissions in your AndroidManifest.xml for example if you don't add the permission to write external storage your app will crash like mine.. xD

What you need:

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WRITE_SETTINGS" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE"/>
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.CHANGE_CONFIGURATION" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.MODIFY_AUDIO_SETTINGS" />

You can try my app on Google Play : BackAtel Audio Manager

Hope that helps.... my problem is now solved!! i hope that i solved your problem too :))
