Add a broadcast listener to MEDIA_BUTTON:
<intent-filter android:priority="<some number>">
<action android:name="android.intent.action.MEDIA_BUTTON" />
</intent-filter>
You should register your broadcast receiver inside your application (not in manifest file). Otherwise Google Music player will catch your broadcast and aboard it.
Your IntentFilter priority should be higher that other media players priorities in your phone)
Add android.permission.BLUETOOTH permission in manifest to support Bluetooth headset
After received you key you have to manually abort the broadcast using abortBroadcast().
However priorities and abortBroadcast() work fine as long as each app only responds while
e.g. something is played.
But several users also expect a "default player" to be launched (or start playing) upon button press, like the default player, so it might happen some app with a higher priority number won't let the intent come through to your app
In the onReceive, you can get the button event with
KeyEvent key = (KeyEvent)
intent.getParcelableExtra(Intent.EXTRA_KEY_EVENT);
key.getKeyAction() tells you whether the button was released or pressed, key.getKeyCode() tells which button is pressed.
If you want to handle single button cable headsets as well, also
regard the key code KEYCODE_HEADSETHOOK
Override the onKeyDown method in any activity and check for
the KeyEvent.KEYCODE_MEDIA_KEYCODE_pressed_key
e.g.
boolean onKeyDown(int keyCode, KeyEvent event) {
AudibleReadyPlayer abc;
switch (keyCode) {
case KeyEvent.KEYCODE_MEDIA_FAST_FORWARD:
// code for fast forward
return true;
case KeyEvent.KEYCODE_MEDIA_NEXT:
// code for next
return true;
case KeyEvent.KEYCODE_MEDIA_PLAY_PAUSE:
// code for play/pause
return true;
case KeyEvent.KEYCODE_MEDIA_PREVIOUS:
// code for previous
return true;
case KeyEvent.KEYCODE_MEDIA_REWIND:
// code for rewind
return true;
case KeyEvent.KEYCODE_MEDIA_STOP:
// code for stop
return true;
}
return false;
}
