Flutter Ringtone Player - How To Examples

Introduction

Flutter Ringtone Player is a Flutter plugin that allows you to play ringtones, alarms, and notification sounds on both Android and iOS platforms. It provides a simple and convenient way to control and play various types of sounds in your Flutter applications.

In this tutorial, we will cover various examples of using the Flutter Ringtone Player plugin. Each example will demonstrate a specific use case and provide step-by-step instructions on how to achieve the desired functionality.

Installation

To use the Flutter Ringtone Player plugin in your Flutter project, follow these steps:

1. Open the pubspec.yaml file of your Flutter project.
2. Add the following dependency to the dependencies section:

dependencies:
  flutter_ringtone_player: ^2.0.0

3. Save the file and run the command flutter pub get to fetch the dependency.

Now you're ready to start using the Flutter Ringtone Player plugin in your Flutter application.

Example 1: Playing a Default Ringtone

In this example, we will demonstrate how to play a default ringtone using the Flutter Ringtone Player plugin.

import 'package:flutter_ringtone_player/flutter_ringtone_player.dart';

void playDefaultRingtone() {
  FlutterRingtonePlayer.playRingtone();
}

To play the default ringtone, call the playRingtone() method from FlutterRingtonePlayer. This will play the default ringtone on both Android and iOS devices.

Example 2: Playing a Custom Ringtone

In this example, we will demonstrate how to play a custom ringtone file using the Flutter Ringtone Player plugin.

import 'package:flutter_ringtone_player/flutter_ringtone_player.dart';

void playCustomRingtone() {
  String ringtonePath = 'assets/sounds/custom_ringtone.mp3';
  FlutterRingtonePlayer.playRingtone(ringtonePath, volume: 0.5);
}

To play a custom ringtone, provide the path to the ringtone file as the first argument to the playRingtone() method. You can adjust the volume of the ringtone by specifying a value between 0.0 and 1.0 for the volume parameter (optional).

Example 3: Playing an Alarm Sound

In this example, we will demonstrate how to play an alarm sound using the Flutter Ringtone Player plugin.

import 'package:flutter_ringtone_player/flutter_ringtone_player.dart';

void playAlarmSound() {
  FlutterRingtonePlayer.playAlarm(volume: 0.8);
}

To play an alarm sound, call the playAlarm() method from FlutterRingtonePlayer. You can adjust the volume of the alarm sound by specifying a value between 0.0 and 1.0 for the volume parameter (optional).

Example 4: Playing a Notification Sound

In this example, we will demonstrate how to play a notification sound using the Flutter Ringtone Player plugin.

import 'package:flutter_ringtone_player/flutter_ringtone_player.dart';

void playNotificationSound() {
  FlutterRingtonePlayer.playNotification(volume: 0.6);
}

To play a notification sound, call the playNotification() method from FlutterRingtonePlayer. You can adjust the volume of the notification sound by specifying a value between 0.0 and 1.0 for the volume parameter (optional).

Example 5: Stopping a Ringtone

In this example, we will demonstrate how to stop a currently playing ringtone using the Flutter Ringtone Player plugin.

import 'package:flutter_ringtone_player/flutter_ringtone_player.dart';

void stopRingtone() {
  FlutterRingtonePlayer.stop();
}

To stop a currently playing ringtone, call the stop() method from FlutterRingtonePlayer.

Example 6: Playing a Ringtone with Vibration

In this example, we will demonstrate how to play a ringtone with vibration using the Flutter Ringtone Player plugin.

import 'package:flutter_ringtone_player/flutter_ringtone_player.dart';

void playRingtoneWithVibration() {
  FlutterRingtonePlayer.play(
    android: AndroidSounds.ringtone,
    ios: IosSounds.alarm,
    volume: 0.7,
    asAlarm: true,
    withVibration: true,
  );
}

To play a ringtone with vibration, call the play() method from FlutterRingtonePlayer and provide the appropriate parameters. The android parameter specifies the sound to be played on Android devices, and the ios parameter specifies the sound to be played on iOS devices. You can adjust the volume of the ringtone by specifying a value between 0.0 and 1.0 for the volume parameter (optional). The asAlarm parameter indicates whether to play the ringtone as an alarm (optional). The withVibration parameter indicates whether to enable vibration along with the ringtone (optional).

Example 7: Playing a Ringtone in a Loop

In this example, we will demonstrate how to play a ringtone in a loop using the Flutter Ringtone Player plugin.

import 'package:flutter_ringtone_player/flutter_ringtone_player.dart';

void playRingtoneInLoop() {
  FlutterRingtonePlayer.play(
    android: AndroidSounds.ringtone,
    ios: IosSounds.alarm,
    looping: true,
  );
}

To play a ringtone in a loop, call the play() method from FlutterRingtonePlayer and set the looping parameter to true. This will continuously play the ringtone until it is stopped manually.

Example 8: Playing a Ringtone with a Duration

In this example, we will demonstrate how to play a ringtone with a specific duration using the Flutter Ringtone Player plugin.

import 'package:flutter_ringtone_player/flutter_ringtone_player.dart';

void playRingtoneWithDuration() {
  FlutterRingtonePlayer.play(
    android: AndroidSounds.ringtone,
    ios: IosSounds.alarm,
    looping: true,
    volume: 0.5,
    duration: const Duration(seconds: 10),
  );
}

To play a ringtone with a specific duration, call the play() method from FlutterRingtonePlayer and set the duration parameter to the desired duration. The ringtone will automatically stop playing after the specified duration.

Example 9: Playing a Ringtone with Fade In and Out

In this example, we will demonstrate how to play a ringtone with fade in and fade out effects using the Flutter Ringtone Player plugin.

import 'package:flutter_ringtone_player/flutter_ringtone_player.dart';

void playRingtoneWithFade() {
  FlutterRingtonePlayer.play(
    android: AndroidSounds.ringtone,
    ios: IosSounds.alarm,
    looping: true,
    volume: 0.5,
    fadeIn: const Duration(seconds: 2),
    fadeOut: const Duration(seconds: 2),
  );
}

To play a ringtone with fade in and fade out effects, call the play() method from FlutterRingtonePlayer and set the fadeIn and fadeOut parameters to the desired durations. The ringtone will gradually fade in at the beginning and fade out at the end.

Example 10: Playing a Ringtone in the Background

In this example, we will demonstrate how to play a ringtone in the background using the Flutter Ringtone Player plugin.

import 'package:flutter_ringtone_player/flutter_ringtone_player.dart';

void playRingtoneInBackground() {
  FlutterRingtonePlayer.play(
    android: AndroidSounds.ringtone,
    ios: IosSounds.alarm,
    looping: true,
    volume: 0.5,
    isInSilentMode: true,
  );
}

To play a ringtone in the background, call the play() method from FlutterRingtonePlayer and set the isInSilentMode parameter to true. This will play the ringtone even if the device is in silent mode.
