Hello,
Summary (for those in a hurry to avoid having to read all): I am trying to understand where to find the information you use to make JavaObject working
Detailed question (for the most patient people)
The need of receiving the MEDIA_BUTTON press intent made me in need to understand the code kindly provided by Erel
In the same time, the Android's documentation tells us to register using the AUDIO_SERVICE
As I understand the B4A code :
Because, I don't understand why we call "audio" instead of "AUDIO_SERVICE", I have read the page about the AudioManager. Do we load all the information about the "audio" package ?
In Java they speak about
More, on the RemoteControlClient's page they specify the method "registerMediaButtonEventReceiver" is deprecated since api 5.0 and they advice to use the MediaSession's class. On that page, I find the new method to use "setMediaButtonReceiver".
And now, I am lost again while trying to replace the "RegisterForMediaButton" by "setMediaButtonReceiver" to test it on the emulator and check if one day I could use JavaObject alone instead of disturbing you everytime I need something sharp to be done. And boom : an error thrown.

B4X:
Sub RegisterForMediaButton (ServiceName As String)
Dim am As JavaObject = GetContext.RunMethodJO("getSystemService", Array("audio"))
Dim component As JavaObject
component.InitializeNewInstance("android.content.ComponentName", Array(Application.PackageName, ServiceName.ToLowerCase))
am.RunMethod("registerMediaButtonEventReceiver", Array(component))
End Sub
Sub GetContext As JavaObject
Return GetBA.GetField("context")
End Sub
Sub GetBA As JavaObject
Dim jo As JavaObject
Dim cls As String = Me
cls = cls.SubString("class ".Length)
jo.InitializeStatic(cls)
Return jo.GetFieldJO("processBA")
End SubIn the same time, the Android's documentation tells us to register using the AUDIO_SERVICE
B4X:
AudioManager am = mContext.getSystemService(Context.AUDIO_SERVICE);
...// Start listening for button presses
am.registerMediaButtonEventReceiver(RemoteControlReceiver);
...// Stop listening for button presses
am.unregisterMediaButtonEventReceiver(RemoteControlReceiver);
AudioManager am = mContext.getSystemService(Context.AUDIO_SERVICE);As I understand the B4A code :
- GetBA returns our application "package's name" so it is not hard coded and can be used elsewhere
- GetContext returns the application's context so the system knows which app is acting
- RegisterForMediaButton registers the service associated with the app to the system. For example: com.b4x.sample/.serviceTest
Because, I don't understand why we call "audio" instead of "AUDIO_SERVICE", I have read the page about the AudioManager. Do we load all the information about the "audio" package ?
