How Can I Access the Audio Files made available for Alarm Sounds and Ringtones?

Question

I want to find out the system audio files used by an Alarm and Ringtone on Android platform.

• What permission(s) do I need to access these audio files?
• What .NET MAUI API is available to read and play these files? Or, a tip as to how to use native API to access audio files?

I know I can use my own audio files by putting them in Resources/Raw folder and access them as required. My question is if instead I can find out the system audio files and use them -- why duplicate the effort is my logic -- say by allowing the user choose from the available audio files.

Hello,

MAUI currently does not provide APIs for modifying ringtones, and you could modify various sounds and ringtones through RingtoneManager on Android.

Please refer to the following documentations:

• RingtoneManager.
• Invoke platform code.
