setRouting

Added in API level 1
void setRouting (int mode, 
                int routes, 
                int mask)

This method was deprecated in API level 4.
Do not set audio routing directly, use setSpeakerphoneOn(), setBluetoothScoOn() methods instead.

Sets the audio routing for a specified mode

Parameters
mode int: audio mode to change route. E.g., MODE_RINGTONE.
routes int: bit vector of routes requested, created from one or more of ROUTE_xxx types. Set bits indicate that route should be on
mask int: bit vector of routes to change, created from one or more of ROUTE_xxx types. Unset bits indicate the route should be left unchanged

setSpeakerphoneOn

Added in API level 1
void setSpeakerphoneOn (boolean on)

Sets the speakerphone on or off.

This method should only be used by applications that replace the platform-wide management of audio settings or the main telephony application.

Parameters
on boolean: set true to turn on speakerphone; false to turn it off

setStreamMute

Added in API level 1
void setStreamMute (int streamType, 
                boolean state)

This method was deprecated in API level 23.
Use adjustStreamVolume(int, int, int) with ADJUST_MUTE or ADJUST_UNMUTE instead.

Mute or unmute an audio stream.

This method should only be used by applications that replace the platform-wide management of audio settings or the main telephony application.

This method has no effect if the device implements a fixed volume policy as indicated by isVolumeFixed().

This method was deprecated in API level 22. Prior to API level 22 this method had significantly different behavior and should be used carefully. The following applies only to pre-22 platforms:

  • The mute command is protected against client process death: if a process with an active mute request on a stream dies, this stream will be unmuted automatically.
  • The mute requests for a given stream are cumulative: the AudioManager can receive several mute requests from one or more clients and the stream will be unmuted only when the same number of unmute requests are received.
  • For a better user experience, applications MUST unmute a muted stream in onPause() and mute is again in onResume() if appropriate.

Parameters
streamType int: The stream to be muted/unmuted.
state boolean: The required mute state: true for mute ON, false for mute OFF

setStreamSolo

Added in API level 1
void setStreamSolo (int streamType, 
                boolean state)

This method was deprecated in API level 23.
Do not use. If you need exclusive audio playback use requestAudioFocus(AudioManager.OnAudioFocusChangeListener, int, int).

Solo or unsolo a particular stream.

Do not use. This method has been deprecated and is now a no-op. requestAudioFocus(AudioManager.OnAudioFocusChangeListener, int, int) should be used for exclusive audio playback.

Parameters
streamType int: The stream to be soloed/unsoloed.
state boolean: The required solo state: true for solo ON, false for solo OFF

setStreamVolume

Added in API level 1
void setStreamVolume (int streamType, 
                int index, 
                int flags)

Sets the volume index for a particular stream.

This method has no effect if the device implements a fixed volume policy as indicated by isVolumeFixed().

From N onward, volume adjustments that would toggle Do Not Disturb are not allowed unless the app has been granted Do Not Disturb Access. See isNotificationPolicyAccessGranted().

Parameters
streamType int: The stream whose volume index should be set.
index int: The volume index to set. See getStreamMaxVolume(int) for the largest valid value.
flags int: One or more flags.

setVibrateSetting

Added in API level 1
void setVibrateSetting (int vibrateType, 
                int vibrateSetting)

This method was deprecated in API level 16.
Applications should maintain their own vibrate policy based on current ringer mode that can be queried via getRingerMode().

Sets the setting for when the vibrate type should vibrate.

This method should only be used by applications that replace the platform-wide management of audio settings or the main telephony application.

Parameters
vibrateType int: The type of vibrate. One of VIBRATE_TYPE_NOTIFICATION or VIBRATE_TYPE_RINGER.
vibrateSetting int: The vibrate setting, one of VIBRATE_SETTING_ON, VIBRATE_SETTING_OFF, or VIBRATE_SETTING_ONLY_SILENT.

See also:

setWiredHeadsetOn

Added in API level 5
void setWiredHeadsetOn (boolean on)

This method was deprecated in API level 5.
Do not use.

Sets audio routing to the wired headset on or off.

Parameters
on boolean: set true to route audio to/from wired headset; false disable wired headset audio

shouldVibrate

Added in API level 1
boolean shouldVibrate (int vibrateType)

This method was deprecated in API level 16.
Applications should maintain their own vibrate policy based on current ringer mode that can be queried via getRingerMode().

Returns whether a particular type should vibrate according to user settings and the current ringer mode.

This shouldn't be needed by most clients that use notifications to vibrate. The notification manager will not vibrate if the policy doesn't allow it, so the client should always set a vibrate pattern and let the notification manager control whether or not to actually vibrate.

Parameters
vibrateType int: The type of vibrate. One of VIBRATE_TYPE_NOTIFICATION or VIBRATE_TYPE_RINGER.
Returns
boolean Whether the type should vibrate at the instant this method is called.

startBluetoothSco

Added in API level 8
void startBluetoothSco ()

Start bluetooth SCO audio connection.

Requires Permission: MODIFY_AUDIO_SETTINGS.

This method can be used by applications wanting to send and received audio to/from a bluetooth SCO headset while the phone is not in call.

As the SCO connection establishment can take several seconds, applications should not rely on the connection to be available when the method returns but instead register to receive the intent ACTION_SCO_AUDIO_STATE_UPDATED and wait for the state to be SCO_AUDIO_STATE_CONNECTED.

As the ACTION_SCO_AUDIO_STATE_UPDATED intent is sticky, the application can check the SCO audio state before calling startBluetoothSco() by reading the intent returned by the receiver registration. If the state is already CONNECTED, no state change will be received via the intent after calling startBluetoothSco(). It is however useful to call startBluetoothSco() so that the connection stays active in case the current initiator stops the connection.

Unless the connection is already active as described above, the state will always transition from DISCONNECTED to CONNECTING and then either to CONNECTED if the connection succeeds or back to DISCONNECTED if the connection fails (e.g no headset is connected).

When finished with the SCO connection or if the establishment fails, the application must call stopBluetoothSco() to clear the request and turn down the bluetooth connection.

Even if a SCO connection is established, the following restrictions apply on audio output streams so that they can be routed to SCO headset:

  • the stream type must be STREAM_VOICE_CALL
  • the format must be mono
  • the sampling must be 16kHz or 8kHz

The following restrictions apply on input streams:

  • the format must be mono
  • the sampling must be 8kHz

Note that the phone application always has the priority on the usage of the SCO connection for telephony. If this method is called while the phone is in call it will be ignored. Similarly, if a call is received or sent while an application is using the SCO connection, the connection will be lost for the application and NOT returned automatically when the call ends.

NOTE: up to and including API version JELLY_BEAN_MR1, this method initiates a virtual voice call to the bluetooth headset. After API version JELLY_BEAN_MR2 only a raw SCO audio connection is established.

stopBluetoothSco

Added in API level 8
void stopBluetoothSco ()
