How do I easily play ringtones from an app, whether this is poly or real?

Hi,

If your device supports JSR75 you could browse the FileSystem and play the ringtones.If your device does not support support JSR75 you cannot play ring tones in the phone.

Hi Gopal,

If my device supports jsr-75, then can you tell me how my midlet will be able to play the ringtones? Thanks in advance.

Hi Gopal,

I would like to know how I would locate the particular ring tone on different phones assuming I have JSR75 on my phone.

Do I need to store information for the location of ring tone folder for all the phones in my midlet? Or is there any other way..?

Pankaj Hotwani.

Hi pankaj,
Not all folders have READ_WRITE acess.ALthough if u have jsr 75,if you cant access a folder u cannot access the files in that folder.

That I know. But my question is how I could find the folder where ringtones are stored. Like for nokia, I know that ringtones are stored in z://nokia/sounds. But what about other phones. Do I need to manually find the path of ringtone folder and hardcode those paths in my midlet. Or is there any way to detect the folder where ring tones are stored...

hi Pankaj,

fileconn.dir.tones

that's nokia only system property,
for similiar you need to review api for other devices or stick with root traversal or using some hardcoded paths (most probably all manufacturers use the same schema accross their devices),

Sorry for this late reply! Yesterday I missed your post. As peter suggested, you may search for the desired ring tone by traversing through different folders available on the device. Also you could define the path/file name as JAD parameter. The path may vary according to different devices from different vendors.

hi Pankaj,
it seems that only nokia provided as runtime properties for roots/known folders, quick look into SE java mipd specs docs and I could see that on that other platform you will have to traverse roots/known locations:

• <file:///c:/>
• <file:///c:/other>
• <file:///c:/pictures/>
• <file:///c:/sounds/>
• <file:///c:/videos/>
• <file:///e:/> (memory card)

Hi Guys,

Thanks for your suggestions but I am afraid, I am still uable to locate the path of ring tones folder. I saw the file system through FExplorer application. There I cannot see the ringtones in the folder "c:\nokia\sounds"- the same path which I am getting through System.getPropery("fileconn.dir.tones"). Infact when I tried to locate the ringtones through FExplorer then I could see the ringtones in Z:/Nokia/Sounds/Digital folder which I am unable to access through FileConnection api (throws security exception). I tried replacing "Z" by "E" also but that didn't work either.

Also to add, I tried using the PDAPDemo application that comes along with the toolkit. I couldn't find the ringtones by browsing the filesystem through that applicaton also.

FYI:- The downloaded ringtones are getting stored in c:\nokia\sounds\digital. That I can play but the default tones that comes along with the handset like "Nokia tune.mid", those I neither can play nor able to locate.

Please help...

Pankaj Hotwani.
