Some devices don't properly forward headset button events

[ddogfoodd]

Description

I have a headphone cable that contains some control buttons (volume down, volume up, pause/play). Those controls work as expected with Auxio. However, when double clicking the pause/play button, the song should be skipped. This works, whenever Auxio is in the foreground or background, while it doesn't work when the screen is locked.

If the screen is locked and the button is double-clicked, it pauses/plays the media instead of skipping to the next. So this might also be a bug.

I would like it to have the same behavior, be the screen locked or not.

Problem solved

No response

Other implementations

While Metro requires 3 clicks to skip to the next song which feels pretty awkward to me, this works on the lock screen.

Benefit

To be fair, this probably benefits quite few people that have a similar hardware control. Still, it might be easy to implement. I am new to Android but will probably look into it and comment if I find something.

Duplicates

• I have checked this feature request for duplicates.
• I have checked that this feature is not implemented in the lastest version.
• I have checked the Why Are These Features Missing? page.
• I agree to the Contribution Guidelines.

Huh, so it looks like Retro does seemingly have it's own self-rolled button handling here. I guess I do have to implement a fix for this since some devices refuse to properly forward media buttons.
