Android Question Set volume level

[anaylor01]

I am trying to set the speaker volume to max. So I set the Media volume down and run the app. The Media volume doesn't change when I open the volume settings. It almost sounds like it is at max but shouldn't the Media volume level be changed to max?
p.SetVolume(p.VOLUME_MUSIC, p.GetMaxVolume(p.VOLUME_MUSIC), False)
I have this in the Manifest:
AddPermission(android.permission.MODIFY_AUDIO_SETTINGS)

its hard to guess, upload project as zip then we can test it

Let me ask you this. If my app was ready to go to the market could someone take it as their own? Not saying anyone would but is that possible?

you didnt mention it in your first post , but let me tell you this.. im(or we are) not going to steal your code and make money out of it

It almost sounds like it is at max but shouldn't the Media volume level be changed to max?

maybe when you open the app the volume is set to max then when you go to setting the app goes to resume sub and set back the volume to 0

I wasn't saying you were. I was just asking if it were possible.

if you cant post the whole project then just let us take a look at the relevant codes

 

[anaylor01]

The code I posted is the relevant code. There isn't much to it. When I had that line of code in the activity it seemed like that if the volume level was low that after the code ran the volume level would be at the max after. When it runs in the service it sounds the same but when you go to the volume level settings it is still low not at the max. So maybe it is playing the sound at the max level but not setting the meter to the max.

You don't need to add this permission.

Your code is correct. It is possible that the default audio channel is different. You can force it to be the music channel with this code: https://www.b4x.com/android/forum/t...snt-work-in-all-activities.78180/#post-495418

Thanks Erel. So I am using this code to play the audio. sounds.Play(bounceId, 1, 1, 1, 0, 2) How do you determine or know which channel the audio uses?
VOLUME_ALARM
VOLUME_MUSIC
VOLUME_NOTIFICATION
VOLUME_RING
VOLUME_SYSTEM
VOLUME_VOICECALL

 

[Erel]

SoundPool uses the VOLUME_MUSIC channel.

 

[anaylor01]

Thanks Erel. So VOUME_MUSC = SoundPool What do the others use?
VOLUME_ALARM=
VOLUME_NOTIFICATION=
VOLUME_RING=
VOLUME_SYSTEM=
VOLUME_VOICECALL=

 

[anaylor01]

Am I missing something?

 

[Erel]

What do you mean with others? Make your question more specific.

 

[anaylor01]

What I am asking is if VOUME_MUSC = SoundPool do the others equal something else? Like VOLUME_ALARM = SoundAlarm?

 

[Erel]

The system alarm will use VOLUME_ALARM. MediaPlayer uses VOLUME_MUSIC by default.

 

[anaylor01]

So if you are on the phone with someone is there anything that will play sound that the person on the other line can hear?
