Hi, my question is, can i use the default android system sounds on my paid android app?

#2

Corona SDK’s audio APIs are meant to work within the app sandbox. This means we can’t reach outside to other system locations to access sounds.

I see, hmm but if i copy the sounds from android device’s “system/media/audio” folder to my app is it legal?

We really can’t offer any legal advice. I don’t know what Google has to say about this. If they are public domain, then there wouldn’t be a problem, but you will have to research that yourself.

Now if Google makes API’s to play certain sounds, it would be possible to use Corona Enterprise to access them. Which means someone could in theory make a plugin.
