Changing phone ringtone android

Question

I have a mp3 file "a.mp3" on my sdcard. I want to set this as my phone ringtone..... Below is the code I found from different answers but when I run the code, the ringtone in changed to None, not a.mp3. Please help me. I am a beginner. Thanks in advance.

String path = Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory().getAbsolutePath() + "/a.mp3";
    File k = new File(path, "a.mp3");

    ContentValues values = new ContentValues();
    values.put(MediaStore.MediaColumns.DATA, k.getAbsolutePath());
    values.put(MediaStore.MediaColumns.TITLE, "A");
    values.put(MediaStore.MediaColumns.SIZE, 210341);
    values.put(MediaStore.MediaColumns.MIME_TYPE, "audio/mpeg");
    values.put(MediaStore.Audio.Media.ARTIST, "");
    values.put(MediaStore.Audio.Media.DURATION, 230);
    values.put(MediaStore.Audio.Media.IS_RINGTONE, true);
    values.put(MediaStore.Audio.Media.IS_NOTIFICATION, false);
    values.put(MediaStore.Audio.Media.IS_ALARM, false);
    values.put(MediaStore.Audio.Media.IS_MUSIC, false);

    // Insert it into the database
    Uri uri = MediaStore.Audio.Media.getContentUriForPath(k.getAbsolutePath());
    Uri newUri = this.getContentResolver().insert(uri, values);

    RingtoneManager.setActualDefaultRingtoneUri(FirstActivity.this, RingtoneManager.TYPE_RINGTONE, newUri);

Also if I want the user to choose another ringtone, what should I do? I want to start an Intent (which will open File Explorer) and then I will get the path of that sound file. which I will save in the path String and will continue the same code. Please guide me how to start that intent too.

For launching File Explorer and let user choose file you can use below Intent-

      Intent intent = new Intent();
      intent.setAction(Intent.ACTION_GET_CONTENT);
      intent.setType("file/*");
      startActivity(intent);
