Turn Volume All The Way Up While Playing Sound Android

Question

I would like to make the volume on the Android phone go all the way up while playing a sound. I am using MediaPlayer and start() if that helps.

That would violate the user. They set the volume at a certain value, and they probably want to keep it that way. — syb0rg, Apr 20 '13 at 18:31

I am developing an app to detect slip&drop of a person.
When the slip or drop happens, the app needs to turn the volume all the way up while play a sound for some period of time.

Even it violates the user, i think it is appropriate in this case.

Kind of late, but this should do the trick:

AudioManager audioManager = (AudioManager)getSystemService(AUDIO_SERVICE);
audioManager.setStreamVolume(AudioManager.STREAM_MUSIC, audioManager.getStreamMaxVolume(AudioManager.STREAM_MUSIC), 0);

If you want to set the volume back to its original value after you're done playing your sound, have a look at this post: Android: how to play music at maximum possible volume?
