How to control volume keys?

The volume keys in my app are adjusting the ring tone rather than the media tone. But if there is a sound effect playing, they will adjust the media, but as soon as the sound effect finishes, it goes back to adjusting the media. I am assuming that if I have a music playing all the time, so the volume keys will allways adjust the media, but i want to leave the option for the user to have the music on/off, and adjust how loud the SFX are while playing.

Any help?

You can use the setVolumeControlStream() method to define which Audio Stream the volume buttons should adjust while your app is in the foreground.

For example, to adjust media volume:

setVolumeControlStream(AudioManager.STREAM_MUSIC);
