  • topic: Headset media buttons don’t work with Android apps

  • some details about the topic: Headset media buttons don't work with Android apps
    "My headphones have media buttons (play/pause, volume up, volume down), and they work great with the standard SFOS media player app.
    However, I want to use them with Android apps such as Spotify, but they don’t seem to work.

    Play/pause button: Does not work at all, including double-press to skip current song and triple-press to rewind. Everything works fine with SFOS media player.
    Volume up & volume down: Only works when device is “awake” (I have to press the power button to turn on the screen); when playing from the SFOS media player I can also change volume when the device is locked (screen completely off), which is very comfortable. I can’t do that when playing media from an Android app, instead I always have to “wake up” the device.

  • approx time needed: 5 - 10min

  • optional: if i can’t make it please discuss if this can be fixed in sfos or aliendalvik and if it can be part of the next update
