recently I was playing with a certain script that took my apps and shortcuts (and widgets but I didn’t add any) and…
what if there was a script that when the wheel turned 1 way it turns media volume up and turned the other way it turns media volume down….. like a volume nob on a stereo?
come to think of it I’ve been looking for a widget that allows this (yes there are some but they require that I first click the widget as opposed to just turning the damn nob) but im yet to find one that doesn’t require a click action first. most stereos I’ve seen don’t require a click action so I don’t feel I should have to click a widget first before changing the damn volume, I don’t care what Googles policy is. but that’s beside the point
the point is the wheel looks like a volume nob and I just think it would be cool if that was possible. I’m placing (originally was planning… damn swipe) it in the discussion section because I just want to know what it looks like to you and what crazy ideas everyone had in mind. perhaps someone can even craft a script that does this who knows?

Don’t know how to set the volume from script. I like the idea though.

I actually had this exact idea when first seeing the wheel script but I have no idea where to start on it lol. Hopefully those more knowledgeable can get it going

I was just playing with the wheel and thought about it I kinda laughed at first then thought “wait a minute…..”

I was thinking about this the other day – wanted use swipe up/down on my lock screen. I found this http://sudarmuthu.com/blog/adjusting-the-volume-in-android-through-code/ but unfortunately my scripting knowledge is limited though…

I personally have thought it would be awesome. We could create a music widget almost completely with LLX and Tasker to pull some variables. Gonn have to keep an eye on this question to see where it goes for sure.

Changing the volume level should be possible. I’ll have a look at it when I am back

Tony Merrell-Jones my scripting knowledge is non existent. all i know is copy this here and paste it there that’s it

Lukas Morawietz hey if it’s possible cool, anyone else have any ideas?

Can’t make it now, but this is all you need if you know scripting (check the android reference for other flags)
var v=0;//-1,0,1 to lower, maintain, raise respectively
LL.bindClass(“android.media.AudioManager”);
var audioManager = LL.getContext().getSystemService(Context.AUDIO_SERVICE);
audioManager.adjustVolume(v, AudioManager.FLAG_PLAY_SOUND);

TrianguloY Tried quickly from a shortcut and it works perfectly. Will try later when at home with my swipe events

Nice. I don’t remember exactly, but I think that a wheel to change the volume could be found in some old media player skin, maybe a MPlayer one or XMMS one ?

Pierre Hébert no matter, I was just saying that it looks like a volume nob and just wanted to see what everyone else thought, if a script is in fact possible to create a wheel of apps that turns the volume up or down on rotate then cool but alas I was only pointing this out and wanted to see what others thought.

No problem, it was just remembering me an ancient age where kde 1.99 was the best desktop in the world, and most apps were written in C or C++, not Java nor JavaScript (agreed, that’s an off topic though).

it’s funny you should mention that because I wish everything was in simple language where it was readable by anyone with half a brain

That is the graal of every developer too. Imagine a system that turns a few (spoken) sentences into a useful screen… Oh my god, I would speak a bit with my computer when I woke up in the morning, then I would go outside for a ride or do other things I like for the rest of the day… Ahhhh.

hahaha I know. you wouldn’t be so bored with codes if it was that easy
