There are several ways to add support for your app to the DashClock Music Extension.
1) The dashclock music api:
Intents:
gonemad.dashclock.music.metachanged - Whenever the currently playing song changes (or is first played)
gonemad.dashclock.music.playstatechanged - Changing between playing and pausing
gonemad.dashclock.music.playbackcomplete - When playback completes
Examples:
When starting to play music or a new song plays.. send:
Intent intent = new Intent(gonemad.dashclock.music.metachanged);
intent.putExtra("artist", "current artist");
intent.putExtra('album", "current album");
intent.putExtra("track ", "current track name");
intent.putExtra("playing", true);
context.sendBroadcast(intent);
When playback is paused or resumed:
Intent intent = new Intent(gonemad.dashclock.music.playstatechanged);
intent.putExtra("artist", "current artist");
intent.putExtra('album", "current album");
intent.putExtra("track ", "current track name");
intent.putExtra("playing", true or false); //the only mandatory field for this intent
context.sendBroadcast(intent);
When playback is finished:
Intent intent = new Intent(gonemad.dashclock.music.playbackcomplete);
context.sendBroadcast(intent);
