Hi , this is my first post to my first android app i intend to write. I hope i find some answers here , since in the 2 books i have (Android Application Development) and (Hello Android) are great if you want to learn basic things.

But i found more useful info here in the forum. But now i am stuck with a problem where noware on the net is a answer to that.

I have made a level and now i want to play a alarm sound from the alarms from the android phone.
I got so far that i use the PreferenceManager in my Settings.java

public class Settings extends PreferenceActivity {
 
        private static final boolean ALARM = true;
 
        private static final String ALARMSTR = "alarm_togle";
 
        private static final int VALUE = 2;
 
        private static final String VALUESTR = "list";
 
        private static final String SOUND = "";
 
        private static final String SoundSTR = "tone_select";
 
        @Override
 
        protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
 
                super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
 
                addPreferencesFromResource(R.xml.settings);
 
        }
 
        public static boolean getAlarmState(Context context) {
 
                return PreferenceManager.getDefaultSharedPreferences(context)
 
                                .getBoolean(ALARMSTR, ALARM);
 
        }
 
        public static int getAlarmValue(Context context) {
 
                return PreferenceManager.getDefaultSharedPreferences(context)
 
                                .getInt(VALUESTR, VALUE);
 
        }
 
        public static String getAlarmSound(Context context) {
 
                return PreferenceManager.getDefaultSharedPreferences(context)
 
                                .getString(SoundSTR, SOUND);
