Overview

A media button receiver receives and helps translate hardware media playback buttons, such as those found on wired and wireless headsets, into the appropriate callbacks in your app.

You can add this MediaButtonReceiver to your app by adding it directly to your AndroidManifest.xml:

 <receiver android:name="androidx.media.session.MediaButtonReceiver" >
   <intent-filter>
     <action android:name="android.intent.action.MEDIA_BUTTON" />
   </intent-filter>
 </receiver>
 
This class assumes you have a in your app that controls media playback via a android.support.v4.media.session.MediaSessionCompat. Once a key event is received by MediaButtonReceiver, this class tries to find a that can handle , and a MediaBrowserServiceCompat in turn. If an appropriate service is found, this class forwards the key event to the service. If neither is available or more than one valid service/media browser service is found, an java.lang.IllegalStateException will be thrown. Thus, your app should have one of the following services to get a key event properly.

Service Handling ACTION_MEDIA_BUTTON

A service can receive a key event by including an intent filter that handles :
 <service android:name="com.example.android.MediaPlaybackService" >
   <intent-filter>
     <action android:name="android.intent.action.MEDIA_BUTTON" />
   </intent-filter>
 </service>
 
Events can then be handled in by calling MediaButtonReceiver.handleIntent(MediaSessionCompat, Intent), passing in your current android.support.v4.media.session.MediaSessionCompat:
 private MediaSessionCompat mMediaSessionCompat = ...;

 public int onStartCommand(Intent intent, int flags, int startId) {
   MediaButtonReceiver.handleIntent(mMediaSessionCompat, intent);
   return super.onStartCommand(intent, flags, startId);
 }
 
This ensures that the correct callbacks to will be triggered based on the incoming .

Note: Once the service is started, it must start to run in the foreground.

MediaBrowserService

If you already have a MediaBrowserServiceCompat in your app, MediaButtonReceiver will deliver the received key events to the MediaBrowserServiceCompat by default. You can handle them in your .

Methods

public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent)

public static KeyEvent handleIntent(android.support.v4.media.session.MediaSessionCompat mediaSessionCompat, Intent intent)

Extracts any available from an intent, passing it onto the android.support.v4.media.session.MediaSessionCompat using dispatchMediaButtonEvent, which in turn will trigger callbacks to the registered via setCallback.

Parameters:

mediaSessionCompat: A android.support.v4.media.session.MediaSessionCompat that has a set.
intent: The intent to parse.

Returns:

The extracted if found, or null.

public static PendingIntent buildMediaButtonPendingIntent(Context context, long action)

Creates a broadcast pending intent that will send a media button event. The action will be translated to the appropriate , and it will be sent to the registered media button receiver in the given context. The action should be one of the following:

  • ACTION_PLAY
  • ACTION_PAUSE
  • ACTION_SKIP_TO_NEXT
  • ACTION_SKIP_TO_PREVIOUS
  • ACTION_STOP
  • ACTION_FAST_FORWARD
  • ACTION_REWIND
  • ACTION_PLAY_PAUSE

Parameters:

context: The context of the application.
action: The action to be sent via the pending intent.

Returns:

Created pending intent, or null if cannot find a unique registered media button receiver or if the action is unsupported/invalid.

public static PendingIntent buildMediaButtonPendingIntent(Context context, ComponentName mbrComponent, long action)

Creates a broadcast pending intent that will send a media button event. The action will be translated to the appropriate , and sent to the provided media button receiver via the pending intent. The action should be one of the following:

  • ACTION_PLAY
  • ACTION_PAUSE
  • ACTION_SKIP_TO_NEXT
  • ACTION_SKIP_TO_PREVIOUS
  • ACTION_STOP
  • ACTION_FAST_FORWARD
  • ACTION_REWIND
  • ACTION_PLAY_PAUSE

Parameters:

context: The context of the application.
mbrComponent: The full component name of a media button receiver where you want to send this intent.
action: The action to be sent via the pending intent.

Returns:

Created pending intent, or null if the given component name is null or the action is unsupported/invalid.
