Hi, is there a way to play/pause, next/prev song by send remote controls from app?

I would like to change/play/skip/pause song from my cordova app if some event happen. For example if a press a button on my view, i would like to start play music from ios music app.

Thanks in advance, Andri

Have you researched using the Cordova Media plugin? Unless I'm not understanding what you're trying to do - as long as you have the location of the file that you'd like to play, you should be able to start playing it through this plugin: http://docs.phonegap.com/en/edge/cordova_media_media.md.html

Thanks for the response, but this is not what i'm looking for. I try to explain my problem.

In my device i have some music added to itunes library and i listen this music through standard ios music app. I created a cordova app to manage music and my problem is: how can i play/pause/stop or skip songs from my cordova app? Can i send something like "remote controls" from my cordova application?

Thanks in advance, Andri

No problem. RemoteControls won't work in that case. I'm not sure if there's a cordova plugin for what you're looking for, but it's probably possible. You should research controlling this ios class: MPMusicPlayerController. Hope that helps!
