Feature request: volume buttons for page turning

[GoogleCodeExporter]

This would be the ideal way to turn pages on my opinion. Not sure of it is 
possible but I didnt 
see of on your issues list or I'm your list of features that you would never 
implement.

I agree, this would help the usability quite a bit.

From my experience of reading ebook in Palm machine, I think the volume buttons 
of 
iphone is too "hard" for frequent operation (page turning).Also, i am afraid 
too 
much using will make it to die earlier. Just my own opinion.

I have tried to do it but haven't found a way to receive events in the app when 
the
volume buttons are pushed

The following code might help, although it still shows speaker icon.

--------------------- in EBookView.h
#import <Celestial/AVSystemController.h>
@interface EBookView : UITextView {
...
  AVSystemController *avs;
  float defaultVolume;
...
}

--------------------- in EBookView.m
#import <Celestial/AVSystemController.h>
...

@implementation EBookView
- (id)initWithFrame:(struct CGRect)rect {
...
avs = [AVSystemController sharedAVSystemController];
[[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter] addObserver: self
selector:@selector(volumeChanged:)
name:@"AVSystemController_SystemVolumeDidChangeNotification" object: avs];
NSString *name;
[avs getActiveCategoryVolume:&defaultVolume andName:&name];
...

- (void)volumeChanged:(NSNotification *)notification
{
// INSERT HERE CHECK FOR GLOBAL PREFERENCE "USE_VOLUME_CONTROLS_TO_TURN_PAGES"
 float volume;
 NSString *audioDeviceName;
 [avs getActiveCategoryVolume: &volume andName: &audioDeviceName];
 NSLog(@"Volume changed: %f",volume);
 if (volume != defaultVolume) {
   if (volume > defaultVolume) {
    [self pageUpWithTopBar:NO bottomBar:![defaults toolbar]];
   } else {
    [self pageDownWithTopBar:![defaults navbar] bottomBar:NO];
   }
   [avs setActiveCategoryVolumeTo: defaultVolume];
 }
}

None of that API is public in the SDK.  We're not going to add code now that 
would
have to be yanked in a few months.

oops,
I have actually added it. In the svn version.
We may not be able to redo it in the sdk but I think it will be nice.
