Apps Getting headphone button push event

[diegoesp]

Hi everyone,

is there any way to detect when the user pushes the headphone button from code ? (via an intent, maybe ?). I just can't find the way to do it.

For example, the music player stops playing when it's pressed.

Thanks !

Possibly the ACTION_MEDIA_BUTTON ...

Thread ...

This part of the thread suggests that it is delivered to the foreground window as a regular key event.. what key it doesn't say. It also says that using the broadcast receiver approach may change in the future...
