My goal is to support 2 operations:
mute phone (possibly with vibrations enabled/disabled), so when a call or sms is received it won't make noise
unmute phone and restore the volume to the state before muting phone
How can I do this? What permissions are required in AndroidManifest?
This is the permission for vibrate into the manifest file
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.VIBRATE" />
this is for to put the device in silent mode with vibrate
AudioManager audioManager = (AudioManager)context.getSystemService(Context.AUDIO_SERVICE);
audioManager.setRingerMode(AudioManager.RINGER_MODE_VIBRATE);
this is for to put into the ringing mode
AudioManager audioManager = (AudioManager)context.getSystemService(Context.AUDIO_SERVICE);
int maxVolume = audioManager.getStreamMaxVolume(AudioManager.STREAM_RING);
audioManager.setRingerMode(AudioManager.RINGER_MODE_NORMAL);
audioManager.setStreamVolume(AudioManager.STREAM_RING, maxVolume, AudioManager.FLAG_SHOW_UI + AudioManager.FLAG_PLAY_SOUND);
