HeadphoneControls
Detects when the user presses the physical buttons on the headphones, both wired and Bluetooth.

It returns which button was pressed on the headphones, sending it to the buttonAction parameter so it can be used as logic with a player like the Player integrated into App Inventor.

  • I'm not sure if it works for all types of headphones, but I've tested it on Beads Studio 3 and EarPods. They work well.

Buttons it detects:

  • Play, Pause, Play_Pause, Stop, Next, Previous, Fast_Forward, Rewind, Call_Button (center button).

HeadsetButtonPressed

It is activated when a button on the headset is pressed.
