I was wondering if there was a way for an application to alert the user using the device ringtone.

If the user has the ringtone set to vibrate, the application will alert the user by vibrating.
If the user has the ringtone as Ringtone A, the application will play RingTone A.

you can play ringtones but i did never find a method to access the user-profiles on this topic. if you stumble over anything let me know

how were you able to make the application play a ringtone?
is it able to play out the speaker?

i used a code that played an audio, but i think it only came out of the earphone....

most of the work is to define your tune.

private static final short c    = 262;
    private static final short cis  = 277;
    private static final short d    = 294;
    private static final short dis  = 311;
    private static final short e    = 330;
    private static final short f    = 370;
    private static final short g    = 392;
    private static final short gis  = 415;
    private static final short a    = 440;
    private static final short ais  = 466;
    private static final short h    = 494;
    private static final short c2   = 523;
    
    private static final short TEMPO = 125;
    private static final short d16 = 1 * TEMPO;
    private static final short d8 = d16 << 1;
    private static final short d4 = d16 << 2;
    private static final short d2 = d16 << 3;
    private static final short dpause = 10;
    private static final short pause = 0;
    private static final short[] TUNE1 = new short[] {c*2, d16,
                                                      d*2, d16,
                                                      e*2, d16,
                                                      f*2, d16,
                                                      c*2, d16,
                                                      d*2, d16,
                                                      e*2, d16,
                                                      f*2, d16
                                                     };

Alert.startBuzzer(TUNE1, 100)

a code example, didn't write it myself though.

hth,
