Tonegenerator Crashes In Android 6.0

In my application i am using ToneGenerator to play simple sound. When test my application by compiling the application with 6.0, my application randomy crashing due to ToneGenerato

Solution 1:

Solved the issue by using handler.

privatestaticvoidplayTone(Context context, int mediaFileRawId) {
            Log.d(TAG, "playTone");
            try {
                if (toneGenerator == null) {
                    toneGenerator = newToneGenerator(AudioManager.STREAM_NOTIFICATION, 100);
                }
                toneGenerator.startTone(mediaFileRawId, 200);
                Handlerhandler=newHandler(Looper.getMainLooper());
                handler.postDelayed(newRunnable() {
                    @Overridepublicvoidrun() {
                        if (toneGenerator != null) {
                            Log.d(TAG, "ToneGenerator released");
                            toneGenerator.release();
                            toneGenerator = null;
                        }
                    }

                }, 200);
            } catch (Exception e) {
                Log.d(TAG, "Exception while playing sound:" + e);
            }
        }

Solution 2:

Following is a Tone Generator based solution that appears stable, using an ontouch listener in a DialogFragment. Set your onTouchListeners for each button in the OnViewCreated method, then use the following ontouch listener method, that continuously plays the selected DTMF tone over the SIP call while touching a button, then stops playing when the button is no longer touched. The AnswerDialogListener is the callback to the MainActivity.

Edit: I broke the previously working DTMF tone RFC2833 proper output by trying to fix a compiler warning by using toneType = ToneGenerator.TONE_DTMF_0; instead of toneType = toneGenerator.TONE_DTMF_0;

private View.OnTouchListener myTouchListener = new View.OnTouchListener(){
    public boolean onTouch(View v, MotionEvent event) {
        String callidText = callid;
        AnswerDialogListener listener = (AnswerDialogListener) getActivity();
        int streamType = AudioManager.STREAM_MUSIC;
        int volume = 50;
        if(event.getAction() == MotionEvent.ACTION_DOWN) {
            switch (v.getId()) {
                case R.id.answer_dialog_0_button:
                    toneGenerator = new ToneGenerator(streamType, volume);
                    toneGenerator.getAudioSessionId();
                    listener.onAnswerResponse(callidText, "Keypad0");
                    toneType = toneGenerator.TONE_DTMF_0;
                    toneGenerator.startTone(toneType);
                    returntrue;
                case R.id.answer_dialog_1_button:
                    toneGenerator = new ToneGenerator(streamType, volume);
                    toneGenerator.getAudioSessionId();
                    listener.onAnswerResponse(callidText, "Keypad1");
                    toneType = toneGenerator.TONE_DTMF_1;
                    toneGenerator.startTone(toneType);
                    returntrue;
                case R.id.answer_dialog_2_button:

Following is a snippet of the if statement in the MainActivity callback handler to output the DTMF on the active SIP call:

if (response.equals("Keypad0")) {
            try {
                if (call != null) {
                    call.sendDtmf(0);
                }
            } catch (Exception e) {
                e.printStackTrace();
            }
        } elseif (response.equals("Keypad1")) {
            try {
                if (call != null) {
                    call.sendDtmf(1);
                }
            } catch (Exception e) {
                e.printStackTrace();
            }
        }
