phonegap : Detect volume change

Question

I have an phonegap application, and I need to trigger an event when a button is pressed on the device (not a button on the screen).

Is there a way to detect, say, volume change (in iPhone and maybe other devices too) ?

I use Phonegap, mgwt and gwt-phonegap.

@Jennis this is about the implementation using `gwt-phonegap`, so it's not an exact duplicate — Majid Laissi, Nov 06 '12 at 21:42

Check out this answer for Android. There appears to be a PhoneGap plugin for iOS which lets you control the volume. This could be modified to fire an event on volume change.

You can get a simple event when such a button is pressed from gwt-phonegap.

Your code would look like this:

 phoneGap.getEvent().getVolumneUpButtonPressedHandler().addVolumneUpButtonPressedHandler(new VolumeUpButtonPressedHandler() {

  @Override
  public void onVolumeUpButtonPressed(VolumeUpButtonPressedEvent event) {
    // volume up button pressed

  }
});

thank you for your answer.. i tried your code but the event does not seem to fire. Is there a plugin I need to add for that ? – Majid Laissi Nov 06 '12 at 20:18
(tested on iPhone 4, iOS 5.0.1 and cordova 1.8.1) – Majid Laissi Nov 06 '12 at 20:32
which version of gwt-phonegap are you using? – Daniel Kurka Nov 06 '12 at 20:42
`gwt-phonegap 1.8.1` .. I just tried the simplest example from http://docs.phonegap.com/en/1.8.1/cordova_events_events.md.html#volumedownbutton and it doesn't work either.. maybe there's something wrong with my jailbroken device.. – Majid Laissi Nov 06 '12 at 20:55
Tested the same code with an Android device and it still doesnt work. Has this been fixed in later versions of gwt-phonegap? – Majid Laissi May 14 '13 at 12:38
