About Headset Button ControllerTrial
Turn the button on a wired headset into a remote control for your music player - and much more!
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.

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.

Nice app. Brought headphones with which the volume control wasnt compatible with my device. This app allows me to use the centre button to regain control of the volume without getting my phone out of my pocket.

I downloaded this app to help with the volume control on my apple ear pods for my android but it does not work. Please look in to this. However, I do think it's great that you offer a trial app before you waste your money.

Love this app. It has made my earphones work with triple click for previous track and long press for voice command. Strangely both should work on my s7 edge with default earphones without a third party app but seems like Samsung software is very dodgy.

Works exactly as it says, I only wanted to skip tracks. my only suggestion would be to improve the aesthetics, but thats just trivial.

Something shorted in my headphone jack because the volume kept going crazy when i plugged them in. I read somewhere that disabling all headset control will help and it did! I am glad this exists. Just wish the UI was material.

Tried to use this App to get a PTT button for Zello. Sadly, using my Sennheiser EZX70 (on my Galaxy S5) the app didn't even capture the buttons.

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)

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.

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.

Such a great app and works flawlessly with a single button earphones on Motorola Nexus 6. Only issue is Google Voice search but thats Googles fault and not the apps.

Finally I found an app that turns the volume down! You can either set one click to start "volume control" to reach a low volume before stopping volume control at the desired level with another click. Or you can set one click to a Tasker task that sets the volume to zero, before turning the volume up with double clicks. Will definitively buy the full version. Long press doesn't work for me, still I'm happy with this app.

The app is great for configuring what you'd like certain button presses to do. I don't understand why there is a sticky task (cannot swipe away) in the notifications bar. For that reason, I'm not interested.
