About Headset Button Controller APK
Table Of Contents
Description
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.
===============
This is the full version of Headset Button Controller. To check if this app works with your phone / music player correctly, we suggest you first install the trial version of this app before buying.

Questions & Answers
Q: What is an APK File?
A: Just like Windows (PC) systems use an .exe file for installing software, Android does the same. An APK file is the file format used for installing software on the Android operating system.
Q: If I install an APK from this website, will I be able to update the app from the Play Store?
A: Yes, absolutely. The Play Store installs APKs it downloads from Google's servers, and sideloading from a site like ApkClean.net goes through a very similar process, except you're the one performing the downloading and initiating the installation (sideloading).
As soon as the Play Store finds a version of the app newer than the one you've sideloaded, it will commence an update.
Q: Why ApkClean.net can guarantee APK 100% safe?
A: Whenever someone wants to download an APK file from ApkClean.net, we'll check the corresponding APK file on Google Play and allow user download it directly (of course, we'll cache it on our server). If the APK file does not exist on Google Play, we'll search it in our cache.
Q: What are Android App permissions?
A: Apps require access to certain systems within your device. When you install an application, you are notified of all of the permissions required to run that application.
Don't hesitate to contact us if you have any questions or concerns.

User's Reivew
5 ★Great app
4 ★Great app but the long clicks always start google now voice control instead of telling me the time or what ever I want them ro do. I guess as mentioned by others aswell the problem lies within the android system, however would be great if you could fix that or communicate those issues to google and work with thwm together to find a solution. Everything else works great.
4 ★Excellent features & configuration options. Can switch off annoying beeps & the various volume up/down/control options work well. However since my phone upgraded to Marshmallow it has been unreliable (and yes I have disabled optimization for the app & it runs on foreground). I also wish it allowed config for five clicks...
3 ★Unfortunately this appears to be due to Google forcing the single long hold of a headset button to automatically redirect to Google ask or speak or whatever. Google and android need to provide a fix for this. Unlikely that Dev will be able to create a fix, the problem lies with android and Google. Really annoyed as paid for this and basically doesn't do what I want it to do
4 ★I have been happily using it for months. Work like a charm. Caveats: - Long-click / hold actions do not work with older phones. There is some notes here on play store page, but I didn't find them until too late. - With a new and better phone, I just experienced intermittent some unexplained lag in button response (a few seconds up to 45 seconds). Hopefully I'll get some suggestion soon.
5 ★Does everything I'd expect plus more, I just wish there were a way to remove the apps' icon from the notification area. -edit- found that under advanced options that I could turn off running as a foreground application which got rid of the icon in the task bar.
3 ★The app was great at first but then something happened so that I have To press the enable button every time I want the app to work, instead of it enabling when I plug the ear buds in. Also, the triple clicks aren't being recognized anymore. This is very frustrating! I paid money for an app that isn't working anymore!
5 ★This app is awesome and I love it. I give 5 stars right away. Only one request! Please put an option to hide the app icon from notification bar. It's kinda annoying for me. Thank you
5 ★What the topic says. That's all I wanted, and this app does it.
5 ★I've been looking a while for an app that allows me to control volume and other options on my AKG k451 headphones and this app is by far the best. Still can only use one button from the 3, but still better than nothing. ps. @yan naing aung, you can disable the icon by going to advanced > advanced settings > run in foreground :)
4 ★The play/pause and forward/back button clicks work, but the four clicks for volume control do not. 5 stars if you can get volume control working.
1 ★It quite simply doesn't work. One can change all the settings you want but the headset behaviour doesn't change (at least for the phone elements). Debug mode doesn't work either.
