Problems with setting Default Ringtone in code

Question

How to clear Mediastore before setting ringtone

I have a set of about 130 mp3's in my android app of different sound clips. They're listed in a listview, and when the user long-presses on one of them, it gives them the option to set it as their default ringtone or notification. For the most part, I got this working for ringtone, but its kind of inconsistent.

For example, it may set the default ringtone the first time, but the next time I try to set another clip as default ringtone, and then go into my ringtone lists, it has 'Silent' selected. Also, I've noticed that throughout my testing, the app has created 3-4 options in my ringtone list that has no corresponding file, and I have no idea how to remove these.

I'm not a very experienced android dev, so, I can't quite figure out what I'm doing wrong here. Here is the code for my setRingtone() with resourceid being passed:

public void playSound(int input){
    byte[] buffer=null;
    InputStream fIn = getBaseContext().getResources().openRawResource(input);
    int size=0;

    try {
        size = fIn.available();
        buffer = new byte[size];
        fIn.read(buffer);
        fIn.close();
    } catch (IOException e) {
        // TODO Auto-generated catch block
    }

    String path="/sdcard/sounds/";
    String filename="my_ringtone"+".mp3";

    boolean exists = (new File(path)).exists();
    if (!exists){new File(path).mkdirs();}

    FileOutputStream save;
    try {
        save = new FileOutputStream(path+filename);
        save.write(buffer);
        save.flush();
        save.close();
    } catch (FileNotFoundException e) {
        // TODO Auto-generated catch block
    } catch (IOException e) {
        // TODO Auto-generated catch block
    }

    sendBroadcast(new Intent(Intent.ACTION_MEDIA_SCANNER_SCAN_FILE, Uri.parse("file://"+path+filename)));

    File k = new File(path, filename);

    ContentValues values = new ContentValues();
    values.put(MediaStore.MediaColumns.DATA, k.getAbsolutePath());
    values.put(MediaStore.MediaColumns.TITLE, "MyRingtone");
    values.put(MediaStore.MediaColumns.MIME_TYPE, "audio/mp3");
    values.put(MediaStore.Audio.Media.ARTIST, "cssounds ");
    values.put(MediaStore.Audio.Media.IS_RINGTONE, true);
    values.put(MediaStore.Audio.Media.IS_NOTIFICATION, false);
    values.put(MediaStore.Audio.Media.IS_ALARM, false);
    values.put(MediaStore.Audio.Media.IS_MUSIC, false);

    //Insert it into the database
    Uri newUri= this.getContentResolver().insert(MediaStore.Audio.Media.getContentUriForPath(k.getAbsolutePath()), values);
    RingtoneManager.setActualDefaultRingtoneUri(
    this,
    RingtoneManager.TYPE_RINGTONE,
    newUri
    );
}

Most likely, getBaseContext is your problem. The base context will change as other things happen. You want the context of your app.

This kinda worked, but, I'm still getting multiple listings in the ringtone list each time i set a new default ringtone. The above code keeps over-writing the file with the same filename which is what I want, but when I go into android's ringtone selection, its listing a bunch of ringtones as their name's in my raw/ directory (sound1, sound2, sound3, etc.) instead of the "MyRingtone". Any idea how to fix that? – fog Feb 21 '12 at 18:35
