Easy 20 seconds jumps in Audiobook Mode with long pressed Vol Keys #67

Closed qkiel closed 9 years ago

Sometimes unexpected things steal our focus when we listen to audiobooks. It's not that easy to rewind lost 20 seconds and get back to the story like nothing ever happend. What if we could just press and hold volume keys to jump few moment in time?

Sounds like a good feature to add.

I'm working on implementing this. I don't know if I'll be able to use the volume keys (I haven't researched it yet). I'm really hesitant to do anything that requires additional application permissions, so if getting volume presses requires more permissions I'll have to use some other input for the "jump back" functionality.

I decided to provide this functionality as a button on the "Now Playing" screen, as well as (when Audiobook Mode is enabled) in the notification.

Admittedly this isn't as nice as using the volume buttons, but it doesn't appear that you can easily get a "long press" event from the volume buttons, and I didn't want to hack my own together.
