Phone Volume Control

[Jenbagaraman]

Hi all,

            How do i control the phone volume in the appbuilder for Android phone. Thanks in advance.

Hi Jenbagaraman,

The Cordova Media API provides a method that sets the volume of the audio file your app is playing. However, looking at your description I am not sure if this is what you are looking for.

If it isn't and you need to implement a logic that controls the device volume, then I'm afraid that in Cordova there is no straight-forward approach for the same. In Android the AudioManager class provides methods for getting and setting the volume which means that in order to implement such a functionality in a hybrid mobile app, you would need a plugin. I found this plugin which seems to take advantage of the AudioManager class API. However please have in mind that the plugin seems a bit outdated and it also cannot be imported in an AppBuilder app as it doesn't meet all requirements listed here. This means that you would have to create a custom plugin yourself or update that one to make it Plugman-compatible.

Generally speaking, in AppBuilder you can import custom plugins as long as they meet the requirements I mentioned before. If they do, you can follow these steps to import and utilize the plugin in an AppBuilder project.
