How to disable key-tap sound in android?

Question

I want to enable/disable key-tap sound in android version higher then 4.2. There are any way to change default setting through programming. Thanx in advance.

Answer 1

You can mute the sound when your app starts and unmute when it finishes using AudioManager

@override
public void onResume(){
    super.onResume();
    // this mute the Sound
    AudioManager mgr = (AudioManager)getSystemService(Context.AUDIO_SERVICE);
    mgr.setStreamMute(AudioManager.STREAM_SYSTEM, true);
}

@override
public void onPause(){
    super.onPause();
    AudioManager mgr = (AudioManager)getSystemService(Context.AUDIO_SERVICE);
    mgr.setStreamMute(AudioManager.STREAM_SYSTEM, false);
}

Answer 2

Yes, there is a way. There is an attribute and a method if you want to enable/disable.

android:soundEffectsEnabled

Boolean that controls whether a view should have sound effects enabled for events such as clicking and touching.

Here you go.

No need for audio manager or muting for sound stream of system.

Answer 3

You can do this in two ways
1) In XML by setting tag android:soundEffectsEnabled true or false
2) In Activity by pragmatically setSoundEffectsEnabled(true/false).
