Just an array of strings corresponding to the array of sound files I was using.

This line:

values.put(MediaStore.MediaColumns.TITLE, filesnames[pos]);

Where is filesname[pos] pulling from? Some type of array I know. This is one of the last steps in the process to get my soundboard working.

This is an awesome article regarding the soundboard…Why didn’t anyone think of this before. I also found this great software download where you can get Counterstrike for free,

Hi again @mat!
I’m here to make you one more question. I finished my Android project, but Now I’m working improving it in Design and programatically correct.

I would like to know if you could send me the buttons you did for your scoreboard, or, how can I create them, because I have download a transparent button from google, and when I open it with draw9patch i can’t do anything :S

If you don’t want to give me your images I will understand. In that case, could you tell me the measure (width and high) of the buttons ? (for normal view and landscape view too…)

Thank you so much guy! gl!

Yeah, I checked it out the tabs are nice, the button gets horribly pixelated on the last two tabs as they only contain on item though. You make much from the adverts?

Chris — Fri, 26 Feb 2010 17:24:54 +0000

just updated the app if you still wanted to check it out.. thanks

I used “class ButtonAdapter extends BaseAdapter” which then calls a custom OnClickListener “class MyOnClickListener implements OnClickListener”. Then using this custom OnClickListener to call my ringtone function.

@mat
ya I’m working to re-do the current app with an update, it’s changed alot since that one was published…

so where about did u involve the ringtone? I tried to work with it in the button adapter but seems it only wants to work when its extended from Activity…

By: mat

mat — Mon, 15 Feb 2010 16:07:49 +0000

Yes, my buttons are setup in the same manner. I’m planning a writing brief tutorial on it, but I have lots of work at the moment. I will check out your app shortly!

By: Chris

Chris — Mon, 15 Feb 2010 15:50:34 +0000

I acturally figured how to do it.. thank you though.. my main issue is trying to set up the option to let users save as ringtones and such.. main problem is my buttons get created from an adapter..

acturally the first version of the app is out there, its a Call of Duty MW2 soundboard…

I created an xml file for the button which uses png images with transparency, I don’t think you need to set anything special for the button then. Let me know if you need an example and I’ll whip something up for you. Also let me know when you release your app and I’ll have a play with it

I’m making a sound board for a game. I liked how you had your buttons. I wanted users to see my background so i set the button transparencies to ’0′, but how did you get the look of yours? Did you use a drawable source?

@steve, @jason posted an example which is more complete showing how to save the file and then register as a ringtone:

I am having trouble getting this working… How does the app know what file it is copying from? I am looking to copy from a package .wav in my raw file.
Any ideas or more code you could share?

By: mat

mat — Tue, 26 Jan 2010 12:20:18 +0000

Yes, I saved it to the SD card also.
I placed it in /sdcard/media/audio/ringtones/

Glad you got it working, let me know when your app is out so I can try it.

By: Jason

Jason — Mon, 25 Jan 2010 04:04:11 +0000

I figured it all out!
Thanks again for your tips along the way

Excellent! I had actually figured that piece out just before reading this post

For the resource > ringtone part, did you write to the sdcard before setting the ringtone or is there a way to inject the tone straight in?

I am trying to figure out that entire process right now…

Thanks for your reply

Jason, Thanks. I created the buttons dynamically and added them to a gridview. For each of them I use "registerForContextMenu(btn);" then I added the options to the context menu

    @Override
    public void onCreateContextMenu(ContextMenu menu, View v,ContextMenuInfo menuInfo) {
	super.onCreateContextMenu(menu, v, menuInfo);
		menu.setHeaderTitle("Ringtone Actions");
		menu.add(0, v.getId(), 0, "Save as Ringtone");
	}

And then set the even to occur on the selection of this context menu.

    @Override
	public boolean onContextItemSelected(MenuItem item) {
	int x = item.getItemId();
		saveas(x);
		return true;
	}

That should probably be enough code to explain it? I might post a short tutorial on it as I would probably do a better job of explaining it then. Hope this helps. Mat
