Android Question Use volum button for something else

[joermo]

Shalom!

Is it possible to make an app with B4A where the volume button's behaviour is overridden? I would like to listen for short and long press, and then have the app act upon those instructions.

Sub Activity_KeyPress (KeyCode As Int) As Boolean
    Select KeyCode
        Case KeyCodes.KEYCODE_VOLUME_UP
           
Return True
        Case KeyCodes.KEYCODE_VOLUME_DOWN

Return True          
    End Select
End Sub

dont know if volume long press is possible to intercept

Great! Thanks! Will this also hinder the volume from being changed?

If I remember correctly it will override the default volume handling (try it).

Will do! Thanks!
