profile trigger with long pressing volume buttons

[Mustafa Altınbay]

Hi, I wonder is there a chance to create a profile when long pressing volume buttons. I need that for skipping tracks with volume buttons when listening to spotify. Any chance?

Try the autoinput plugin. You should be able to set up a profile when the volume buttons are pressed and released.

Hi Matt, i have installed plugin, but can't set a profile. How can i set it up? I want to set a profile while long pressing volume up buttons, not just one click. I use it skipping song when i listening music on spotify, and i make it long pressing, i use volume up and down too. By the way, i am rooted. Thank you.

I'm not very experienced with the autoinput plugin (yet). You'll need some logic that compares when the button press happens and the button release happens. It'll take a couple profiles and some global variables, it seems.

For what it's worth, I am using AutoInput for a while. Create a profile using Event - plugin - AutoInput - Key - Configuration - Keys. There you get a list of keys you can use to trigger the profile. Unfortunately Key Action has a very limited selection.

However there are variables you can define and there is where my knowledge ends up to now. I used the Volume button but with no defined action the profile is always triggered when I change the volume of course. Good luck.

Unfortunately, Autoinput can only react to key up and key dowm events. No 'long pressing' of the keys is recognized.

You might be able to set something up using a double tap of the volume keys.

So what? I did it with 2 profiles. First of all use autoInput action mode keysupress volume buttons after your app starts.
On volumeUp-keyDown profile set %VolumeUp variable to "down". Wait for 2 seconds and do your action IF %VolumeUp is set. We unset this global variable in volumeUp-keyUp profile action. So if you release the button before 2 seconds is over, your variable is destroyed and there is no action.
