I need to create a service that would be running in the background and detect hardware click.
edit:
found this snippet that works great for an activity, now will have to try it with a service.
@Override
public boolean dispatchKeyEvent(KeyEvent event) {
int action = event.getAction();
int keyCode = event.getKeyCode();
switch (keyCode) {
case KeyEvent.KEYCODE_VOLUME_UP:
if (action == KeyEvent.ACTION_UP) {
Toast.makeText(this, "UP", 1500).show();
}
return true;
case KeyEvent.KEYCODE_VOLUME_DOWN:
if (action == KeyEvent.ACTION_DOWN) {
Toast.makeText(this, "DOWN", 1500).show();
}
return true;
default:
return super.dispatchKeyEvent(event);
}
}
how to create a service, that would be listening to the volume button?
