[PROJECT] Headphone Controls - HandsFree

---

I would like to start working on a way to change the function of the push button received from the headphones. Mainly for when your driving, but this would also be helpful when you need to work with your hands, but still would like to use your phone!

I would love to make an app, but i have no exp in doing this, so basically this is my REQ for a developer to work with to create,develop,test help build my idea.

A customizable app that allows you to choose to open apps, perform actions, play music, skip, pause,play etc with different clicks of the button (Like the older/newish ipod shuffle controls)

If your interested or have any material or ideas for me to start looking into gpio settings please add to the post.

My ideal click config would be:

[Current]
1 click - Depending on Phone State : Open up Music Player/play/pause/answer call/end call

[Additional - Needs to be added]
2 clicks - Next Song
3 clicks - previous song
Click and Hold - Open Voice Control Program (in my case Vlingo) Should be configurable via GUI or config file

(I'm not sure how many commands we can actually store, but if there are more then we can surely add more and more features)

How much money do you have?

I already have the answer. Get a set of the Motorola S9-HD Bluetooth headset. You can do all things you require with them (over bluetooth of course) The sound quality is AWESOME

well, that's not the correct answer, ths idea for an app is really nice, I dont have experience in android development either but I'd like to have this app, and I would donate, Once I saw an application like this for WM and it was awesome( Former WM user)

yeah, right.

AD2P simply SUCKS quality-wise.
If you don't notice the difference, well, good for you .
but with the same kind of money you can get so much more quality you can't even compare.

The kind of fearure the OP is working on would be just awesome for who wants quality or doesn't. want to spend money for the same of it and remote controls . looking forward to it.

I been trying to do something like this with Tasker but sadly i can't get it to recognize the headset click

I'm going to start sifting through the Kernel and Source Code that was posted from samsung for anything related to the headset. They defiantly have a way to recognize the clicks, I just dont know how to access them to tell the phone what to do.

Fingers crossed that this is on topic enough...

On my Captivate, the hardwired headset that came with it has a button in the wire. This button doesn't seem to do anything. What is it supposed to do?

Also, I have a bluetooth Jabra BT3030. None of the buttons function with the Captivate. They all worked fine on my Tilt (WM). Should all of the bluetooth buttons work with this phone? Also, when I turn on my bluetooth it pairs fine, but doesn't automatically connect. I've read about this happening with other people. I'm wondering if it's just this old bluetooth device isn't compatible with the Captivate. Any opinions?

Thanks,
Rich

The button you speak of will pause and un-pause music from my experience. I'm not sure if it does anything else.

It also answers incoming calls and in at least one music player (can't remember which one, maybe DoubleTwist?) a double click skips to the next track.

The files you are looking for are

linux-2.6.29/arch/arm/mach-s5pc110/include/mach/sec_jack.h
linux-2.6.29/arch/arm/mach-s5pc110/sec_jack.c

just don't ask me what to do with it
