Android Question Stop A Ringtone

AllyAndroid · Jun 10, 2016

B4X:

Sub Activity_Create(FirstTime As Boolean)
   PlayRingtone(rm.GetDefault(rm.TYPE_NOTIFICATION))
End Sub

Sub PlayRingtone(url AsString)
   Dim jo As JavaObject
   jo.InitializeStatic("android.media.RingtoneManager")
   Dim jo2 As JavaObject
   jo2.InitializeContext
   Dim u As Uri
   u.Parse(url)
   jo.RunMethodJO("getRingtone", Array(jo2, u)).RunMethod("play", Null)
End Sub

Using the above code, how do I stop the ringtone from playing? I have tried using the following:

B4X:

   jo2.RunMethod("stop",Null)

and

B4X:

   jo.RunMethodJO("getRingtone", Array(jo2, u)).RunMethod("stop", Null)

But I keep getting an error saying that the stop method could not be found.

I saw that and that doesn't work either. It doesn't have all the code needed.

Then you did it wrong.
Show your complete code to get, start and stop a ringtone

Really? I guess if I did it right I wouldn't be asking for help.

The code you referenced is incomplete. I listed the two different methods I tried in my original post.

AllyAndroid · Jun 10, 2016

Here are two ways that I tried it.

B4X:

Sub Class_Globals
  Private jo As JavaObject
  Private jo2 As JavaObject
  Private u As Uri
End Sub

Sub PlayRingtone
  jo.InitializeStatic("android.media.RingtoneManager")
  jo2.InitializeContext
  u.Parse(Starter.rm.GetDefault(Starter.rm.TYPE_ALARM))
  jo.RunMethodJO("getRingtone", Array(jo2, u)).RunMethod("play", Null)
End Sub

Sub stopRingtone
  jo2.RunMethod("stop",Null)
End Sub

B4X:

Sub Class_Globals
  Private jo As JavaObject
  Private jo2 As JavaObject
  Private u As Uri
End Sub

Sub PlayRingtone
  jo.InitializeStatic("android.media.RingtoneManager")
  jo2.InitializeContext
  u.Parse(Starter.rm.GetDefault(Starter.rm.TYPE_ALARM))
  jo.RunMethodJO("getRingtone", Array(jo2, u)).RunMethod("play", Null)
End Sub

Sub stopRingtone
  jo.RunMethodJO("getRingtone", Array(jo2, u)).RunMethod("stop", Null)
End Sub

here is your problem. in the link i showed you find that you need a reference to the ringtone to stop it playing. the ringtone has the play/stop methods...

but you are gtting a reference and directly call play without storing the ringtone-reference.
But you need this reference to stop playing....

B4X:

Dim jo As JavaObject
jo.InitializeStatic("android.media.RingtoneManager")
Dim jo2 As JavaObject
jo2.InitializeContext
Dim u As Uri
u.Parse(rm.GetDefault(rm.TYPE_RINGTONE))
ringtone =jo.RunMethodJO("getRingtone", Array(jo2, u))
ringtone.RunMethod("stop", Null)

with this reference to ringtone you should be able to stop when calling

B4X:

ringtone.RunMethod("stop", Null)

AllyAndroid · Jun 20, 2016

That does not solve my issue. Like I said that code is incomplete and does not contain everything that is needed.

AllyAndroid · Jun 20, 2016

B4X:

ringtone =jo.RunMethodJO("getRingtone", Array(jo2, u))
ringtone.RunMethod("stop", Null)

This code gives an error saying that ringtone is undeclared. Where do I declare it and what do I declare it as.

If you have read the link and understand the prpblem then you should know what to do to get it work.

Here...

B4X:

Sub Globals
    'These global variables will be redeclared each time the activity is created.
    'These variables can only be accessed from this module.
    Dim rm As RingtoneManager
  Private jo, jo2 As JavaObject
  Private rt As JavaObject
    Private u As Uri

    Private ButtonPlay As Button
    Private ButtonStop As Button
End Sub

Sub Activity_Create(FirstTime As Boolean)
    'Do not forget to load the layout file created with the visual designer. For example:
    Activity.LoadLayout("Layout1")
    rt = getRingtone ' Get ref for ringtone
   
End Sub
Sub PlayRingtone
  rt.RunMethod("play", Null)
End Sub
Sub StopRingtone
  rt.RunMethod("stop", Null)
End Sub
Sub getRingtone As JavaObject
  jo.InitializeStatic("android.media.RingtoneManager")
    jo2.InitializeContext
  Dim u As Uri
  u.Parse(rm.GetDefault(rm.TYPE_ALARM))
    'u.Parse()
  Dim rt As JavaObject
    rt.InitializeContext
  rt = jo.RunMethodJO("getRingtone", Array(jo2, u))
    Return rt
End Sub
Sub ButtonPlay_Click
    PlayRingtone
End Sub
Sub ButtonStop_Click
    StopRingtone
End Sub

AllyAndroid friend has solved the problem.
I use the same code and I have the same problem

This is a old thread.
ALWAYS start a NEW THREAD in the QUESTION forum.
Upload a small project which shows the issue. (in the new thread)
