Android Question Catch SOS button pressed event, if device has one ?

[hookshy]

Any idea if it is possible to know when the user press the S0S button for devices that have one build in sos button ? like ihunt devices for example , some of the tough smartphones suited climbing for example have such buttons !

The button is red independent button places on a side of a device !

Generaly software came with an sms or call configuration for the button event !

Thank you

Enable USB debug mode and check the unfiltered logs while pressing this button. You need to check whether an intent is being broadcasted when the button is pressed.

I don't see any intent however did you try to catch this key with Activity_KeyPress event?
