Phone in silent mode and the volume of a MediaPlayer

Hello,

My application has to play a sound. I use this code, and it works fine:

Syntax: [ Download ] [ Hide ]

Using java Syntax Highlighting

 
                mp = new MediaPlayer(); 
 
                mp = MediaPlayer.create(theContext, R.raw.mynotif); 
 
                mp.start();                     
 
                mp.setOnCompletionListener(new OnCompletionListener() {
 
                                @Override
 
                                public void onCompletion(MediaPlayer mp) {
 
                                           mp.release();
 
                                }
 
                        });
 
Parsed in 0.031 seconds,  using GeSHi 1.0.8.4

To test outside the emulator, I installed the APK on my phone.

Everything is ok, except one point:
when my phone is set to SILENT mode, the sound my application plays is NOT muted

Do I have to link my application sound volume to the global phone settings or something like this ?

Thank you for your help.

I foudn a way to manage it:

I added

Syntax: [ Download ] [ Hide ]

Using java Syntax Highlighting

 
AudioManager am;
 
am = (AudioManager) theContext.getSystemService(theContext.AUDIO_SERVICE);
 
if (am.getRingerMode()>1) { //Not silent nor vibrate mode !
 
    //Can play the sound
 
}
 
Parsed in 0.030 seconds,  using GeSHi 1.0.8.4

In fact, am.getRingerMode will be 1 if phone is set to VIBRATE, or 0 if set to SILENT...

Hope this may help.
