There is a selfie button (say as in the photo):

How is pressing a button handled? I would like to know if I can intercept a click using it for my own purposes, and not for a snapshot?

  • for what for example? - Grundy
  • @Grundy, I want to perform some actions in my application. Yes, even just a click counter. It seems to me that does not matter. - Nikotin N

Usually a “selfie stick” (Monopod) acts as a Bluetooth keyboard. The "take a photo" button is actually a volume up button .
At least that's how all the monopods that I held in my hands worked.

  • When I connected the device, which is in the picture to the phone on Android, the IOS button - turned up the volume, but the ANDROID button - took the picture. Therefore, I think that is not quite so \ - Nikotin N
  • @NikotinN, and you try to press the button without launching the camera application. Or try pressing the volume up button in the front camera mode (on the phone itself). According to the standard, pressing the volume button in frontal mode takes a picture, even without a monopod. Therefore, most monopods do just that - Vladyslav Matviienko
  • Without starting the camera, nothing happens when the button is pressed. - Nikotin N
  • @NikotinN, the volume increases on my monopod. In any case, for example, you can write a simple application where you can intercept onKeyPress and see what exactly your monopod does. - Vladyslav Matviienko September
