Setting Audio File as Ringtone

setting audio file as Ringtone

Audio is set as ringtone only once, but solution to this problem is - If you are trying to run the same code again, you'll be inserting a duplicate entry into MediaStore's table, but the SQLite database won't allow you. You have to either rename your file and add another instance of it, or go in, remove the entry, and then try again. So I removed that entry every time and then insert it again.

Uri uri = MediaStore.Audio.Media.getContentUriForPath(k.getAbsolutePath());
getContentResolver().delete(uri, MediaStore.MediaColumns.DATA + "=\"" + k.getAbsolutePath() + "\"", null);
Uri newUri = getContentResolver().insert(uri, values);

RingtoneManager.setActualDefaultRingtoneUri(activity.this,
        RingtoneManager.TYPE_RINGTONE, newUri);

How to set audio file as ringtone in iphone programmatically

You cannot. Apple doesn't release an API to export/write ringtones to the operating system. But u can make ur audio as ringtone through itunes

Use iTunes file sharing in your app and copy the ringtone file to the app's documents directory.

Set "Application supports iTunes file sharing" to YES in your info.plist

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 :))

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);
}

how to set raw audio file as ringtone

try this

            File file = new File(Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory(),
                "/myRingtonFolder/Audio/");
        if (!file.exists()) {
            file.mkdirs();
        }

        String path = Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory()
                .getAbsolutePath() + "/myRingtonFolder/Audio/";

        File f = new File(path + "/", name + ".mp3");

        Uri mUri = Uri.parse("android.resource://"
                + context.getPackageName() + "/raw/" + name);
        ContentResolver mCr = context.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(f);
            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, f.getAbsolutePath());
        values.put(MediaStore.MediaColumns.TITLE, name);
        values.put(MediaStore.MediaColumns.MIME_TYPE, "audio/mp3");
        values.put(MediaStore.MediaColumns.SIZE, f.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, true);

        Uri uri = MediaStore.Audio.Media.getContentUriForPath(f
                .getAbsolutePath());
        Uri newUri = mCr.insert(uri, values);

        try {
            RingtoneManager.setActualDefaultRingtoneUri(context,
                    RingtoneManager.TYPE_RINGTONE, newUri);
            Settings.System.putString(mCr, Settings.System.RINGTONE,
                    newUri.toString());
        } catch (Throwable t) {

        }

Android Studio: How to write a ringtone / notification / alarm audio file to storage and see it in the settings

So here was my error. I needed to correct some things in my Manifest to get the rights permissions:

//Without this folders will be inaccessible in Android-11 and above devices
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.MANAGE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE" />

//Without this entry storage-permission entry will not be visible under app-info permissions list Android-10 and below
<uses-permission
android:name="android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE"
android:maxSdkVersion="29"
tools:ignore="ScopedStorage"/>

//Without this entry the folders will remain in-accessible in Android-10, even if WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE as above is present.
<application
    android:requestLegacyExternalStorage="true"/>

The Ringtones external root folder is not accessible from basic WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE permissions anymore. We have access to app specific external folder, & others (link).

Even the Media store does not give you access to this folder, so from Android 11 & forward, you need the MANAGE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE permission, that gives you this warning:

Most apps are not allowed to use MANAGE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE. Because you need to ask for this permission to the user, and he might refuse..

But if you want to do what I wanted to do, you'll need it..

Be sure that your app ask for the permission through:

// permission: Manifest.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE
// permission_id: 1
public Boolean checkPermission(String permission, Integer permission_id) {
    if (ContextCompat.checkSelfPermission(_instance, permission) != PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED) {
        ActivityCompat.requestPermissions(_instance, new String[]{permission}, permission_id);
        return false;
    } else {
        return true;
    }
}
