Headset media buttons integration.

Post by wooshaq » 03 Mar 2014 19:08

Hi could you please answer my question, I'm trying to make use of my BT headset which contains 4 buttons: play/pause, next (long press makes it FF), prev (long press makes it REW) and dial. I was hoping to make it configure like this:

When my PowerAMP is playing music no rules are applied but when the music is paused next and prev dials specific numbers. It is possible to distinguish wheather music is on and off and if certain bt (media) button in pressed. It's possible to do in tasker but with mixed resaults, rules sometimes works and sometimes doesn't and I don't know why? Perhaps here would work better, if it's possible that is.

Hi,

There is currently no integrated support to handle media button events since this does not work very reliable when different apps like music apps would like to receive the events at the same time.
It's on my todo-list to add support for this but the priority is quite low.

Regards,
Martin
