Have you been in the situation where you fancy listening to some
music while you’re immersed in a game, reading, or typing an important
document on your Android device? Having to exit your current app to
either go to the music widget or music app just to press play is
annoying and impractical. This is a problem XDA Forum Member TraberSoftware ventures to mend.
TraberSoftware introduced on the XDA Forums an app called Floating
Music Controls, an independently developed floating app that comprises
of music controls hovering over any open app and screen. Upon start up, a
simple app logo can be seen in the corner of the screen, which upon
being touched, expands into a bar displaying play/pause, previous and
next selections. The configurations menu allows the opacity of the
floating app to be adjusted and position of the expandable icon in one
of the four screen corners. A persistent notification in the pull-down
notification area can be toggled on or off, and the floating controls
can either be hidden with a shake of the device or ‘timed out’ after
five seconds.
Floating Music Controls is a minimalist and practical app that serves
a much needed function for music listeners. Working with Android
versions 2.1 and newer and available for free in the Play store, make
sure to head over to the original thread for more details.
