Android: save sound as ringtone / SQLiteConstraintException

Question

I\'m trying to save a sound as a ringtone in Android using this code. It works like a charm but will fail if I try to save a ringtone that has already been inserted.

Answer 1

I was having the same issue....it's because you don't have this permission in your manifest

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WRITE_SETTINGS"/>

Also, if you're using that tutorial, make sure you have this in your manifest as well...

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE"/>

I spent a good half an hour or so trying to figure out why the code wasn't working. I actually removed the try/catch just to see what type of error it would throw in the logcat, and it told me I was missing those permissions.

Answer 2

It is not caught because the exception is not in your code. It is not even in your process. It is in the process of the MediaStore content provider.
