How to customize media button handlers ?

[muhammadalkady]

I can't customize media button handlers. I should be able to override onMediaButtonEvent, also onStartCommand called with intent with null action when pressing on media button from [bluetooth headset]. It is called after the media is played or paused so there is no chance to customize buttons behavior.

It's very unclear what this issue is referring to, in part due to a lack of context. Please could you fully explain your use case (e.g., what customisation are you trying to make).

I am trying to make the media always rebuffer when the user hits the play button as the stream is alive. In MediaLibraryService when onStartCommand is called I can extract the keyCode like this val keyCode = intent?.extras?.getParcelable<KeyEvent>(EXTRA_KEY_EVENT) so I can handle the KEYCODE_MEDIA_PLAY and it is working when receiving click from media notification, but when receiving the click from Bluetooth headset the player resumes the media after that onStartCommand is called with null extras val keyCode = intent?.extras?.getParcelable<KeyEvent>(EXTRA_KEY_EVENT) // keyCode = null. Here in MediaSessionCompat I can customize the media handlers. So how to do this is in androidx.media3.session.MediaSession Thanks.
