Android capturing volume up/down key presses in broadcast receiver?

Question

I\'m trying to make an application where the user can override the default behaviour of the volume up/down buttons (as well as the screen on/off button - is this possible?).

Answer 1

this isn't a very good idea. this means every time you press the volume up/down keys you're going to capture it regardless of where you are. what if i want to change my ringer volume? media volume? app that uses the rockers for other uses? it just won't work well and just aggravate people. plus, i'm not sure if its doable.
