Description
Headset Button Controller is very configurable, allowing you to play music, change tracks, adjust volume, answer phone calls, start Voice Command and many other things, just by clicking the button on your headset.
Headset Button Controller is shipped with a powerful default configuration, but you can change almost every action performed. Once you have configured it with your preferences, it runs in the background using almost no CPU. It has been tested with a wide variety of different Android devices and music apps and works with both single-button headsets, and Android-specific 3-button headsets.
Default configuration for single-button headsets (center button for 3-button headsets):
* Single press: play / pause (+ answer call / end call)
* Double press: next track (+ decline call / mute microphone)
* Triple press: previous track
* Quadruple press: previous track (2x)
* Long press: Volume control [2]
* Press and hold: Fast forward [3]
* Double press and hold: Rewind [3]
* Triple press and hold: disabled
All of the above options are configurable to any of the following:
* Stop
* Play / pause
* Next track
* Previous track
* Previous track (2x)
* Mute / unmute
* Voice command
* Voice search
* Redial last number
* Say current time (Text-To-Speech required)
* Launch app
* Launch shortcut
* Tasker task [1]
* Switch profile
Additionally the long press options are configurable to any of the following:
* Volume control [2]
* Rewind [3]
* Fast forward [3]
[1] Requires the app 'Tasker'
[2] While the button is held down, the volume is initially reset to the minimum limit (see below) and then raised until the button is released
[3] Not every music player app supports rewind / fast forward
With a 3-button headset, volume control is also configurable with the left and right headset buttons.
Music app selection
Headset Button Controller controls the currently running music app. You are also able to explicitly specify which installed music app you want to control.
Volume control features
Headset Button Controller remembers the music volume when the headphone is unplugged and can restore it when the headphone is plugged in again.
* Min volume limit: Start volume level of the 'volume control' command
* Max volume limit: Ensures that the headset music volume never exceeds this limit
Call features
You are also able to control calls with the headset button:
* answer call / end call on single press (configurable)
* decline call / mute microphone on double press (configurable)
* adjust volume during a call (see volume control)
* announce caller name (Text-To-Speech required)
You can also configure Headset Button Controller to automatically answer an incoming call after a configurable delay.
Headset plug in / out
You can configure an action to be performed when the headset gets plugged in / out.
Profiles
You can create different 'configuration profiles' which you can switch between. Add a widget or a shortcut to your home screen to easily change your profile. It is also possible to switch profile from the 'Tasker' or 'Locale' app (Locale plug-in). All settings can be backed up on SD card.

5 ★ Awesome app...
5 ★ Terbaikkkkkkk!!!!!! Lengkap
5 ★ Does the work completely
5 ★ incredible
5 ★ Works so much better than the Sony designed app. I don't feel limited by the trial version but purchased the app because I want to support this. This allows me to control my phone calls and music completely with just the single button on my headset.
2 ★ I'm unable to find information on whether this app only works with wired headset or also with Bluetooth (wireless). It works with wired but with bluetooth and debug enabled to messages due to buttons are registered. Would you please be kind and confirm if it works with Bluetooth or not. And if it should work with Bluetooth, any idea as to why it doesn't? Using a pair of Beats by Dre urbeats wireless (in-ear)
4 ★ It's cool, but why doesn't the volume down function work? It's really annoying. Is there any way for you guys to update it so that it works for my note 4? It won't work with any clicks.
3 ★ It's a cool idea and works for the most part except when you click and hold, it goes into Google now or the Google app thing, instead of working properly. Please fix this. Thsts my only problem
5 ★ Works perfectly on my lollipop galaxy s5. Able to answer calls, previous track, and open samsung stock music player. Any long click opens s-voice.
1 ★ @Christoph Using my Samsung headset which has 1 button, it doesn't work with my OnePlus 3. When connected to OnePlus 3, the button on the headset just increases the volume. PLEASE HELP!
5 ★ My headphones were damaged at the controller parts, so it kept moving through songs and opening Google voice search while using it. Luckily, K found this application, if you have the same trouble just download it and Disable everything.
