Looks like the media button situation changes in Android 2.2; see here: http://android-developers.blogspot.com/2010/06/allowing-applications-to-play-nicer.html
They added a function called registerMediaButtonEventReceiver that you are supposed to call when you show the GUI for a music app. This makes media button events go to you and only you. The idea is that audio apps should call it when they are activated, and that way the media button always goes to the audio app that the user was last using. It's an improvement on the "priority arms race", but the problem is that now there's no way to respond to a media button event without blocking it for other apps. I hope they restore that ability later. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
