I am building an alarm clock app, and when the phone is silent, i want it to play the alarm but keep the phone mode on silent. The alarm app I have right now (defualt samsung / android stock one) keeps the phone on silent mode but you still hear the alarm.
I tried setting it so I check if the audio is silent or vibrate, set the sound and then reset the audio.
@Override
public int onStartCommand(Intent intent, int flags, int startId) {
//get audiomanager and set the volume
AudioManager audioManager = (AudioManager) getSystemService(Context.AUDIO_SERVICE);
int oldVolume = 0;
int maxVolume = 0;
boolean silent = false;
SoundMode soundMode = null;
if (audioManager.getRingerMode() == AudioManager.RINGER_MODE_SILENT
|| audioManager.getRingerMode() == AudioManager.RINGER_MODE_VIBRATE) {
if (audioManager.getRingerMode() == AudioManager.RINGER_MODE_SILENT) {
soundMode = soundMode.SILENT;
} else if (audioManager.getRingerMode() == AudioManager.RINGER_MODE_VIBRATE) {
soundMode = soundMode.VIBRATE;
}
oldVolume = audioManager.getStreamVolume(AudioManager.STREAM_ALARM);
maxVolume = audioManager.getStreamMaxVolume(AudioManager.STREAM_ALARM);
maxVolume = maxVolume/2;
audioManager.setStreamVolume(AudioManager.STREAM_ALARM, maxVolume, AudioManager.FLAG_ALLOW_RINGER_MODES);
silent = true;
Log.i(TAG, "silent if statement " + soundMode);
}
// audioManager.setStreamVolume(AudioManager.STREAM_ALARM, maxVolume / 2, AudioManager.FLAG_REMOVE_SOUND_AND_VIBRATE);
Uri alarmTone = RingtoneManager.getDefaultUri(RingtoneManager.TYPE_ALARM);
ringtoneAlarm = RingtoneManager.getRingtone(getApplicationContext(), alarmTone);
ringtoneAlarm.play();
if (silent) {
if (soundMode == SoundMode.SILENT) {
Log.i(TAG, "silent mode");
audioManager.setRingerMode(AudioManager.RINGER_MODE_SILENT);
} else if (soundMode == SoundMode.VIBRATE) {
Log.i(TAG, "vibrate mote");
audioManager.setRingerMode(AudioManager.RINGER_MODE_VIBRATE);
}
}
return START_NOT_STICKY;
}
I've gotten to a point where the phone knows when it's silent or in vibrate mode, but it doesn't play the ringtone, it just either vibrates or doesn't make a noise. How do I make it so it plays the ringtone no matter what, but keeps the audio state the way it was?
So after looking for some other questions this question Troubles play sound in silent mode on Android
solved it for me.
I had to use
RingtoneManager.getRingtone().setStreamType(AudioManager.STREAM_ALARM) and that played the alarm in silent mode.
