React Native : RingtonesLibrary

How to use RingtonesLibrary for android app in React Native

I was frustrated that the RingtoneManager for React Native on GitHub was not working at all. I decided to implement it and published a package on npm.

I use VSCode, in order to use it you must type in a terminal :

npm i react-native-ringtones-library

In your project, import the library as this:

import RingtonesLibrary from ‘react-native-ringtones-library’

Then you can seek for your ringtones like this:

RingtonesLibrary.getRingsByType(RingtonesLibrary.TYPE_RINGTONE, data => {this.setState({list:data})});

There are four TYPE you can use:

TYPE_RINGTONE

TYPE_ALARM

TYPE_NOTIFICATION

TYPE_ALL

You can put the results into a FlatList like that:

Notice that an item looks like:

{“ALBUM”: “ringtones”, “ARTIST”: “<unknown>”, “BITRATE”: 0, “KEY”: 0, “NOTIFICATION”: “/system/media/audio/ringtones/ANDROMEDA.ogg”, “NOTIFICATION_URI”: “content://media/internal/audio/media/103”, “SAMPLERATE”: 44100, “TITLE”: “Andromeda”, “TYPE”: 1, “URI”: “/system/media/audio/ringtones/ANDROMEDA.ogg”}

BITRATE AND SAMPLERATE are not well implemented yet, you can use URI to play the sound with react-native-sound.
