Re: How to clear mediastore before setting ringtone?

When I set a ringtone from my app, it works once, but when running the
code again it tries to create a duplicate entry in the media store,
which creates problems. Without creating seperate [sic] unique file names
for every sound file, I want to fix this problem.
I found this solution posted in an answer here:
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/4603941/problem-in-setting-audio-file-as-ringtone
When I try it in my code below, I get two errors. One is an
SQLiteException and the other is a RuntimeException which is caused by
the squlite error, which is after the Java code.
String TAG = "CFFS";
File dir = new File(Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory()+ "/
ringtones"); // Set base DIR where new ringtone will live
Do not embed TAB characters in code posted to Usenet. Use spaces, a maximum of four per indent level.
On some newsreaders (e.g., Google Groups) the TAB character disappears altogether. On others it expands to some arbitrary width, typically 8 spaces. Either way, it destroys readability.
Also, follow the Java naming conventions, e.g., 'String tag = "CFFS";'.
dir.mkdirs(); // create if directors don't exist
File outputFile = new File(dir, "College Fight Song.mp3"); // Define
out new output file
Uri inURI = null;
try {
inURI =
Uri.parse(getIntent().getStringExtra("com.carboni.fightsongs.FILE_RES_ID"));
} catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
Log.e(TAG, "Could not get URI " + e);
}
// If we didn't parse a good URI then don't execute the code below
if (inURI != null) {
InputStream in = null;
// Get the input stream
try { in = new
BufferedInputStream(this.getContentResolver().openInputStream(inURI)); }
catch (Exception e) { Log.e(TAG, "Exception getting input stream "
+ e); }
It's usually not a good idea to continue the main logic flow after an exception.
.... [snip] ...
// remove entry every time so we don't get duplicate entries and
have a problem setting a 2nd time
getContentResolver().delete(pURI, MediaStore.MediaColumns.DATA +
"\"" + outputFile.getAbsolutePath() + "\"", null);
You forgot the equals sign.
Uri nURI = this.getContentResolver().insert(pURI, v);
Log.i(TAG, "Setting ringtone URI to " + nURI);
// Set ringtone
RingtoneManager.setActualDefaultRingtoneUri(this,
RingtoneManager.TYPE_RINGTONE, nURI);
Toast.makeText(this, "Ringtone set", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();

This error message provides the clue: your syntax for the delete was wrong.
In this case, you forgot the equals sign.
