Stop and start my Android phone music player when I turn the car key on or off?
(1/1)
Chuck:
I'm wondering if any of you know of an app I can use to have my Android phone stop the music player when I turn the power off (power coming from cigarette lighter socket) after I turn the key and have it start playing again when I apply power (start the car with the key?) I had an old iPod I could make do this. I always left it in the car hooked up to the cigarette lighter and with the 1/8" connected to the AUX input on my car stereo. I can't find a way to do it with an old android phone though. My old car doesn't have Bluetooth, because I know that it's possible to do it that way. Any ideas?
Fatah Ruark (aka MIKE B):
So you want the phone to stop playing music when it's not charging and then start again when the phone detects the car is charging the phone again?
I suppose that's possible, but I can't think of anything off the top of my head.
I can see how that would be useful for older cars though.
I think maybe a better solution might be a bluetooth receiver with a line out.

You should be able to do this with Tasker https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.dinglisch.android.taskerm&hl=en
Learning curve is a bit steep - but it is one of the most useful apps ever.
