[Bug] Android headphone control
asked 2017-10-14 22:58:58 +0300
I am using the official cable headphones packaged with the Xperia X. Its play/pause button works nicely with native Sailfish apps (Media), but has no effect at all in Android apps (e.g. Touchfield, Audible). So each time someone wants to talk to me, I have to dig for my phone, unlock it, and find the app's pause button. Is there anything I can do to fix this? Help appreciated.
EDIT2: I also tried this with some cheap bluetooth headphones, same behaviour: The play/pause button works for native but not for Android apps.
Re-tagging this as a bug :-(
Doesn't seem to be a problem that is exclusive to Sailfish X (but I can confirm it is present). The same is true on my Jolla C. Since the controls are already on the lock screen, this should be easy enough to add for Jolla and quite a nice addition indeed.

But thinking about it, it is actually the Android-Support component that needs to be hooked up with the native control interface. And being a proprietary component, I'll have to wait for Jolla to do that. Oh well...
