在我的应用内控制其他应用的音乐

Question

I'm currenty trying to find out if it's possible to control the music of other apps, eg Spotify, within my app. The two solutions I found are:

• using the SDK of the specific service (eg Spotify SDK)
• take over the audio session in my app, but this only allows me to stop/ play the music

I'm trying to find a solution that provides me with pause, play, forward, backward control and access to the title, maybe also the cover. Then I came across the "Sony Headphones Connect" app. It has a page with media control buttons, the title of the current song and is does not require any kind of sing in to Spotify or something else.

Picture is from the app from the App Store, I tested the controls and they work.

So somehow it must be possible, does anyone have an idea how I can achieve my desired result or how the "Sony Headphones Connect" app is handling this issue?

Answer 1

I think I found the answer, the "Sony Headphones Connect" app is controlling the music over bluetooth. So it's not directly possible to control the music of another app.
