skip vs fast-forward?
Thu, 02/04/2010 - 13:25
Hello,
I just downloaded DoggCatcher. I have a BT3030 bluetooth headset... when I hit a skip button, DC fast-forwards.
How can I make it _skip_? Long-pressing the buttons on this bluetooth headset does not do anything. (skip works fine in the native android music app)
Thanks!

Bluetooth skip
I've got a BT3030 also. I actually used it almost exclusively during development of the bluetooth capabilities.
It seems that with bluetooth, there isn't any notion of long pressing. To an android app, it just looks like a lot of single presses really close together. The problem is that each bluetooth device looks differently (different spacing between the presses). I tried to simulate a long-press with the BT3030 but couldn't get it working.
I may take another stab at it. I mainly wanted to get the bluetooth basics out and stable, then out would try to push the boundaries. Another option would be to have configurable actions to take when you single press the buttons.

Hi Eric. Thanks - how about
Hi Eric. Thanks - how about double-pressing to skip? Android headsets do this sort of thing - single button for play/stop vs next. Maybe here you can do single press to fast-forward, vs double to skip?

Double press
Double presses are possible to detect with the wired headset but with bluetooth, each device seems to behave differently. I'm not sure I'd be able to come up with something that will work for all of them but I'll take a look.

ok. if all else fails, here
ok. if all else fails, here is another suggestion :)
- if the feed is paused, ff skips
- if the feed is playing, ff fast forwards
unless this is how it works now (i don't have my headset handy, so i can't check)
That's interesting, I'll take a look and see how well that works. I updated this issue with a reference to this post and moved the issue to soon.
