Summary	0010865: Ability to control player when screen is off
Description	It should be possible to remap various physical buttons / actions (esp. headset buttons) so that the user is able to customize control the player even when the screen is off. For example, - Sony Experia Pro phone comes with a headset that has a single button (Play/Pause). It works fine for MMA, but on other players, it's possible to customize the behavior so that e.g. double-click of the button advances a track. - Samsung phones come with headsets with 3 buttons (+ volume / - volume / Play/Pause). Again, all three functions work fine in MMA, but it should be possible to change the behaviour so that e.g. + advances a track, double-click of plus increases volume, etc... - Also, if a headset doesn't have buttons, shaking the device can be used to play/pause Proposed 'hotkeys' that should be mappable: 1) Headset volume up (single/double/triple click, hold) 2) Headset volume down (single/double/triple click, hold) 3) Headset play/pause (single/double/triple click, hold) 4) Shake Proposed actions that should be available: a) play/pause b) Volume Up c) Volume Down d) Next e) Previous f) Fast forward g) Rewind /Down (on headset): mapped to prev/next Double-click play/pause (on headset): next etc... If implemented, we need to be careful about how the buttons behave when MM isn't active (e.g. if a phone call comes in). As far as a UI goes, we can make it fully customizable OR keep it simple and limit behaviors as follows: Volume -/+ Buttons: hardcoded to: Single click: vol down/up Double click: prev/next Hold: rewind/forward Play/Pause button: hardcoded to: Single click: play/pause Double click: next Triple click: back Shake up: prev Shake down: next If we go with this simplified proposal, we could limit the UI to e.g.: Custom player controls [x] Customize headset buttons . . Double-click to switch tracks. Hold to fast forward/rewind. [ ] Shake to switch tracks . . Shake up/down to go to previous/next track Until this is implemented, user can utilize apps such as: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.kober.headset
