Android Question RingerMode and AI hint code

Elric · Thursday at 9:19 PM

Hello everyone!

I've asked a couple of thing to Gemini 3.0 and it suggest to change this code:

B4X:

    'RINGER_SILENT = 0
    'RINGER_VIBRATE = 1
    'RINGER_NORMAL = 2 Audible & Vibrate
    dim mPhone as Phone
    mPhone.SetRingerMode(mPhone.RINGER_SILENT)

in this code

B4X:

    Try
        Dim myjoContext As JavaObject
        myjoContext.InitializeContext
        
        Dim myjoAudio As JavaObject = myjoContext.RunMethod("getSystemService", Array("audio"))
        
        ' 0 = RINGER_SILENT
        myjoAudio.RunMethod("setRingerMode", Array(0)) ' or Array(1) for RINGER_VIBRATE or Array (2) for RINGER__NORMAL
        
    Catch
        LastException.Message
    End Try

because it is renow by every or almost every phone.

I've tried AI and sometimes give good hints some other it is a terrible coding assistant!

Should I follow this hint? What do you think?

Thanks!

Android phone.

Off the top of my head, I'd say it's pretty likely that it's exactly the same thing.

B4X:

Public Ph As Phone


Sub SilenziaTelefono
    Try
        Ph.SetRingerMode(Ph.RINGER_SILENT)
    Catch
        Log(LastException)
    End Try
End Sub

Sub RipristinaSuoneria(Modo As Int)
    Try
        Ph.SetRingerMode(Modo)
    Catch
        Log(LastException)
    End Try
End Sub

Yes, this code works very well, I use it in an app, no problem

Thanks guys!

I'm wondering if in this case I should follow the AI hints because some "far east manufacturer" (as the AI wrote) makes it more difficult than usual or if such hints are just (one of many) "AI fake hints" (as I supppose).
