Mute sound for a Xamarin.Android app

Question

I am building a xamarin android app using the XamarinMediaManager. The control for now contains a placeholder for the Mute functionality but it isn't implemented yet:

CrossMediaManager.Current.VolumeManager.Mute = true;
//this doesn't work, even on the develop branch

I am not sure how else i could implement that, I've tried implementing that using the way suggested in this answer, but most of the code seems to be deprecated in xamarin.

Any help would be appreciated.

I mean that there is only a placeholder, you can interrogate the Mute property but there is no actual code added to the library to handle the actual Mute operation : https://github.com/martijn00/XamarinMediaManager/issues/181 — , Apr 28 '18 at 20:30

No, actually i am on Xamarin.Android, i am looking to implement that or at least find a way to mute the sound for the app, a code snippet to mute the sound for an app would be appreciated, i've tried doing it this way : https://stackoverflow.com/questions/36441473/how-do-i-mute-all-sounds-of-my-application?utm_medium=organic&utm_source=google_rich_qa&utm_campaign=google_rich_qa but couldn't get it to work — , Apr 28 '18 at 20:38
Most of them, the first answer uses a SetStreamMute which is now deprecated, and i can't get the other answers to work for the current app ! — , Apr 28 '18 at 20:47

You can use approuce with AudioManager.SetStreamVolume

All you need is chose sound chanel and set it to 0.

var audioManager = (AudioManager)getContext.GetSystemService(Context.AudioService);
var mute = 0;
audioManager.SetStreamVolume(Stream.Music, mute, 0);

If you need to use prev sound value just save it with

var musicOrigVol = audioManager.GetStreamVolume(Stream.Music)

One more thing getContext returns my MainActivit
