volume button support on Android

[Eduardo Schettino <sc...@gmail.com>]

Hi,

I would like to use the event "volumeupbutton" on android.
But the docs says that as of cordova 3.5 the only platform support is
BlackBerry [1].

I found an issue on the tracker regarding this but it is marked as "fixed"
since cordova 1.9.0. [2]

And I could indeed find some code to handle the volume button on the source
code. [3]

Does anyone knows whats the status of this? What is missing to get this
completely implemented for the android platform.

Regards,
  Eduardo

Hi Andrew,

Looking at issue on jira the link to the pull-request is broken.
But in the "sub-task" [1] there is a link to a pull-request [2].
The patch is actually for js code...
and it seems pull-request was not merged in the current cordova-js.

The patch is a bit outdated... but I managed to get it working just by
doing the
same way as used in `backbutton` handling. I will submit a pull-request
soon.

Hi Anrew,

Sure. I forgot to mention. I tried on android 4.1.1 and it didnt work.

Later I found this plugin:
http://plugins.cordova.io/#/package/com.manueldeveloper.volume-buttons .
With the plugin my handler is executed but a dialog with "Ringtone volume"
is still displayed on screen...

  Eduardo

I believe it works on Android. Have you tried it?
