Tasker to stop Poweramp
control for the headset while there is an incoming SMS
If you usually
like to use Poweramp or any other media player to enjoy the music with headset
plugged, once you check the option “respond to headset button”, Poweramp will
take care of your headset line controller instead, and if you are in the middle
of playing a song while there is a sms message incoming? You are not able to
press the button to listen to the sms message body, cause it would just pause/resume
the song instead.
So what is the
workaround?
Anyway, there is
always another way out, right? Please proceed.
am force-stop
packagename this linux command could
force stop all process from this package
PM List Packages -------This Linux command will display all
the apps installed on your phone
PM disable
com.maxmpz.audioplayer -------this
Linux command would disable the application including all process and service. We
may call it like frozen. Your device would not recognize this app like it has
not been installed.
PM enable
com.maxmpz.audioplayer ------this Linux
command would enable the application to make the device recognizes this app has
well installed.
Simply use tasker
run shell with root for this command or you may use locale excute plugin for
tasker if you prefer.
By the way, there
is a better tool for you, it is secure settings for tasker. After installed,
you will find the option of package state(package manager for some other
devices), open this option, select the app of Poweramp, then you will see 3
options below for you to pick. On, Off, Toggle. I guess it might be much more
convenient anyway.
Well, once the app
has got frozen, it will not be able to control the headset button anymore. At
that time, you may press the headset button to listen to the incoming sms
message body.
Profile 1:
Context 1:
state-hardware-media button, button: next, Grab checked ------for android 2.2+, this option is available to grab the
control priority for headset button if any other media player installed. PS. You
better not pick “play” button, cause if you accidently click twice, it would
fire to call back for your last phone call.
Context 2: state-app-unread
text ----------this context is used to avoid the
normal situation while there is no incoming sms, so tasker would not bother
other media player to control the headset button.
Action:
variable-variable set, name: %MEDIABUTTON, to On
Profile 2:
Context 1: event-phone-text
received, type: sms ------- I have tested
if using unread text as context, if you didn’t read the previous sms, and later
there is another new message incoming, it would not fire.
Context 2:
state-hardware, headset plugged
Action 1:
plugin-secure settings, package state, poweramp set disable -----------in some othe android device, it
could be package manager instead.
Action 2: task-wait
5 seconds -----------this action is to give secure
settings enough time to carry on its job, since to do this would require root
access.
Action 3: misc-say,
text: you have got a new message from %SMSRN, press next button to listen,
engine: default (if
China
Action 4: task-wait
30 seconds until %MEDIABUTTON ~ On -------this step is to
give you enough time to press the play button, if you didn’t, it will go
activate poweramp on instead of saying the message body.
Action 5: task-If
%MEDIABUTTON ~ On
Action 6: misc-say,
text: %SMSRB, engine: default (if China
Action 7:
variable-variable clear, name: %MEDIABUTTON
-------this is to clear the variable value
after done saying the message.
PS. You may add one more action here running
sl4a script to mark current sms as read. So you don’t have to go back to the
message inbox to clear wipe it off.
Action 8:
task-goto, action number 10 -------this step is to pass through to activate poweramp
after done saying the message
Action 9: task-else ---------if you didn’t press the play button in 30 seconds,
this action would fire.
Action 10:
plugin-secure settings, package state, poweramp set enable
Action 11:
task-wait, 6 seconds
Action 12: plugin-autoshortcut,
activity, select: com.maxmpz.audioplayer.StartupActivity -------I did try to
use tasker load app, but it doesn’t work very well most of time.
PS. You may use wait 5 seconds, then Go home
right there after action 8, optional for you.
Action 13:
task-end If
What about Action Box?
