I have device with some ringtones at /system/media/audio/ringtones by default. I would like to get that path as programatically.I mean i would like to get the ringtones directory path from my device as programetically.

Solution

  • If you want to work with ringtones use RingtoneManager because ringtones may be stored in few other directories. RingtoneManager gives you all possible ringtones from your device. Check also http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/data/data-storage.html#AccessingExtFiles and DIRECTORY_RINGTONES.

    To directly answer your question there is no environment variable querying it you get the default ringtone directory.
