Headphone Connect

App launcher and actions when headphones are connected and disconnected!

Easily assign apps to launch as soon as you connect/disconnect your headphones!

Start the app once and assign your apps. Select any settings or other actions to be performed, and from there a minimal service will run that launches a dialog with your pre-selected apps when headphones are connected or disconnect.

Features

Apps:

• Pick different apps to add to each dialog

• Launch a single app automatically

• Customize how the dialogs look

Actions:

• Show the volume panel

• Adjust the media volume

• Start the service when your phone boots

• Start actions on a delay

• Prevent actions when the screen is off

Blacklist

• Prevent showing the dialogs or performing actions when specific apps are in the current foreground. For instance, you may not want to show the dialog when you are already in a music app.

Supports Bluetooth and USB C headphones!

Advertisement is shown when configuring the dialog and actions but will never be shown in the dialog itself.

===============================================================

PLEASE NOTE: On most Android devices a notification will run in the background informing you that Headphone Connect is running, to disable this notification look under Headphone Connect on the app manager screen and disable all notifications for Headphone Connect.

TL/DR ^^ Android lets you "listen" for different broadcast events and "wake your app up" when they are fired off. For some reason unknown to me headphones being attached to or detached from the device is not something that will "wake an app up". The app has to already be awake in order to actually "hear" that headphones have been connected or disconnect. Naturally this is pretty pointless at least in this app's context. To get around it a service is launched which ONLY listens for that one event so minimal power from the battery is used.
