Android: default music player widget on lockscreen


I have my own music player and I want to interact with the DEFAULT player widget on the lock screen. So my question is how can I make this widget display on lock screen like what google player is doing and what broadcasting message should be used to remove it from the lock screen?


Solution

  • I have my own music player and I want to interact with the DEFAULT player widget on the lock screen.

    On Android 4.0 and 4.1, if your app is a media player, you can register a RemoteControlClient to interact with music controls that appear on the lockscreen.

    On Android 4.2, you would need to write your own lockscreen app widget AFAIK.
