how can I detect whether the android phone in Silent mode programmatically

Question

How to identify whether the phone is in Silent mode or not?

I am using Android 1.5. I tried by using "android.provider.Settings.ACTION_SOUND_SETTINGS". It is not working.

Use the getRingerMode() method in AudioManager.

AudioManager am = (AudioManager)getSystemService(Context.AUDIO_SERVICE);

switch (am.getRingerMode()) {
    case AudioManager.RINGER_MODE_SILENT:
        Log.i("MyApp","Silent mode");
        break;
    case AudioManager.RINGER_MODE_VIBRATE:
        Log.i("MyApp","Vibrate mode");
        break;
    case AudioManager.RINGER_MODE_NORMAL:
        Log.i("MyApp","Normal mode");
        break;
}
