how can I detect whether the android phone in Silent mode programmatically

Question

How to identify whether the phone is in Silent mode or not?

I am using Android 1.5. I tried by using "android.provider.Settings.ACTION_SOUND_SETTINGS". It is not working.

Use the getRingerMode() method in AudioManager.

AudioManager am = (AudioManager)getSystemService(Context.AUDIO_SERVICE);  switch (am.getRingerMode()) {     case AudioManager.RINGER_MODE_SILENT:         Log.i("MyApp","Silent mode");         break;     case AudioManager.RINGER_MODE_VIBRATE:         Log.i("MyApp","Vibrate mode");         break;     case AudioManager.RINGER_MODE_NORMAL:         Log.i("MyApp","Normal mode");         break; }
