[UWP] Earphone Button Action Event Handler

I am using Windows.Media.Playback for playing media file in UWP. But to control media from earphone/headphone button action I could not find out any relevant callback or Eventhandlers. Can anyone please help regarding this?

It seems that you are trying to get message from earphone/headphone so that you could control media playback based on the message, right? If it is, I have to say that there is no such WinRT Api that could give you an event handler to receive message directly. If the earphone/headphone is connected to the device via Bluetooth, you could try to use Bluetooth API to get the message and do want to do.

Have you tried to use bluetooth API to control the earphone if it is connected via bluetooth?

No issue is with wired earphone.

There is no API that could directly detect the action from the wired earphone.
