I want a functionality in my react-native application in which I should be able to trigger an event on pressing a button from my bluetooth headset. I tried some libraries like react-native-keyevent etc which override the onKeyDown() function but I was not able to capture any event from my bluetooth device though it worked for my wiered headset. I also tried overriding dispatchKeyEvent() in MainActivity.class that didnt worked either. So right now I am trying to look into some native alternative which I can later make into a module and use in my application. I am trying to use MediaSession in my application right now but I am not able to capture any event via headsets. Below is my MediaService:
import android.app.Service;
import android.content.Intent;
import android.media.browse.MediaBrowser;
import android.media.session.MediaSession;
import android.media.session.PlaybackState;
import android.os.Build;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.os.IBinder;
import android.service.media.MediaBrowserService;
import android.support.v4.media.session.IMediaSession;
import android.support.v4.media.session.MediaSessionCompat;
import android.support.v4.media.session.PlaybackStateCompat;
import android.util.Log;
import android.view.KeyEvent;
import androidx.media.session.MediaButtonReceiver;
import androidx.annotation.NonNull;
import androidx.annotation.Nullable;
import androidx.annotation.RequiresApi;
import java.util.List;
public class MediaService extends Service {
private MediaSessionCompat session;
@Override
public void onCreate() {
Log.d("MediaService", "onCreate");
session = new MediaSessionCompat(this, "Session");
Log.d("MediaSession", "" + session);
session.setCallback(new MediaSessionCompat.Callback() {
@Override
public boolean onMediaButtonEvent(final Intent mediaButtonIntent) {
String action = mediaButtonIntent.getAction();
Log.d("MediaSession", "Intent Action" + action);
if (Intent.ACTION_MEDIA_BUTTON.equals(mediaButtonIntent.getAction())) {
KeyEvent event = (KeyEvent) mediaButtonIntent.getParcelableExtra(Intent.EXTRA_KEY_EVENT);
Log.d("MediaSession", "KeyCode" + event.getKeyCode());
return true;
}
return super.onMediaButtonEvent(mediaButtonIntent);
}
@Override
public void onPlay() {
Log.d("MediaSession", "onPlay" );
super.onPlay();
}
@Override
public void onPause() {
Log.d("MediaSession", "onPause" );
super.onPlay();
}
});
PlaybackStateCompat state = new PlaybackStateCompat.Builder()
.setActions(PlaybackStateCompat.ACTION_PLAY_PAUSE | PlaybackStateCompat.ACTION_PAUSE | PlaybackStateCompat.ACTION_PLAY | PlaybackStateCompat.ACTION_STOP | PlaybackStateCompat.ACTION_SKIP_TO_PREVIOUS)
.setState(PlaybackStateCompat.STATE_PLAYING, 0, 0, 0)
.build();
session.setPlaybackState(state);
session.setFlags(MediaSessionCompat.FLAG_HANDLES_MEDIA_BUTTONS);
session.setActive(true);
super.onCreate();
}
@Override
public int onStartCommand(Intent intent, int flags, int startId) {
Log.d("MediaService", "onStartCommand");
MediaButtonReceiver.handleIntent(session, intent);
return super.onStartCommand(intent, flags, startId);
}
@Nullable
@Override
public IBinder onBind(Intent intent) {
return null;
}
@Override
public void onDestroy() {
session.release();
super.onDestroy();
}
}
I just want to handle the media button event without playing any audio I dont know what I am doing wrong here but every time i try pressing media button my last audio activity(generally spotify) starts playing I have also tried android:priority it doesnot work either.
<activity
android:name=".MainActivity"
android:label="@string/app_name"
android:configChanges="keyboard|keyboardHidden|orientation|screenSize|uiMode"
android:launchMode="singleTask"
android:windowSoftInputMode="adjustResize">
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
</intent-filter>
</activity>
<receiver android:name="androidx.media.session.MediaButtonReceiver">
<intent-filter android:priority="1000">
<action android:name="android.intent.action.MEDIA_BUTTON" />
</intent-filter>
</receiver>
<service android:name=".MediaService" android:enabled="true" android:exported="true" android:permission="android.permission.FOREGROUND_SERVICE">
<intent-filter android:priority="1000">
<action android:name="android.intent.action.MEDIA_BUTTON" />
</intent-filter>
</service>
<activity android:name="com.facebook.react.devsupport.DevSettingsActivity" />
</application>
I would highly appreciate if anyone can tell me what am I doing wrong or maybe a more suited alternative to what I am trying.
