programatically change volume

[gorelshv]

Please add an option to change the volume of currently playing media. This is very important for alarm apps. Here is a code snippet i found here: Dealing with the Android Media Player Think Android

AudioManager mAudioManager = (AudioManager) getSystemService(AUDIO_SERVICE);
int maxVolume = mAudioManager.getStreamMaxVolume(AudioManager.STREAM_MUSIC);
mAudioManager.setStreamVolume(AudioManager.STREAM_MUSIC, maxVolume, AudioManager.FLAG_PLAY_SOUND);

// or
mAudioManager.setStreamVolume(AudioManager.STREAM_MUSIC, maxVolume, AudioManager.FLAG_SHOW_UI);

// or
mAudioManager.setStreamVolume(AudioManager.STREAM_MUSIC, maxVolume, AudioManager.FLAG_VIBRATE);

// etc

Thanks.

Did you try it yet?
Basic4android - Media Player (Core)

Actually, no. I'm using Soundpool in the audio library and it doesn't effect the system volume.

The volume is passed to the Play method: Basic4android - Audio

I know, but it seems to affect the stream only "localy". What I'm trying to do is to make an alarm that will set the volume of the speaker to the max and then play the alarm. That way, the user won't have to set the volume manually before setting up the alarm. The play method seems to affect the stream but not the system. It's like setting the "wave" volume at max but leaving "master" volume low on a pc.

I decided to get wild and write a library of my own, here.
