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 probably won't do what you want, but if you make an IME, the IME can capture the volume +/- buttons, and do whatever it wants, like remap to other button presses. For instance, I have modified a Gingerbread-style IME to turn volume +/- buttons to do page up/down in the Kindle and Overdrive apps.
