How do you temporarily disable the soft navigation keys on the tablet when you're watching a video for example? I don't want to see them at all. Acer Iconia A700 tablet.
Thanks
I'm using MX Video Player, and those controls change to dots during video playback.

I've searched everywhere using all the keywords I can think of but not had any success yet.
In the old days I used to use S2P or Windows Media Player and if I was on battery the screen would dim or even go blank but music wuld continue to play and I could pause or skip tracks using the d-pad despite the device appearing to be off.
I'm now using TouchFlo3d for music playback. This turns the screen off but also stops the buttons from working. It means I need to turn it on before I can change tracks or anything. I tried a workaround so that any button would wake the device but it ended up calling people by mistake while it was in my pocket. Then I installed S2U2 but that means I have to slide accross the screen to change tracks as well as pressing buttons.
Does anyone know of a way to allow me to press buttons while music is playing without running the risk of dialling people by accident? Thanks.
hey guys I'm wondering if anyone can help me out. Here's the scenario I'm trying to set up:
a bluetooth mouse is connected to my phone. Hey video or music is playing on my phone, which is lying on the table and connected to a pair of speakers.
I'd like to know use a Bluetooth mouse and have the scroll wheel fast forward and rewind and another button on a mouse to play and pause the media.
Of course this is possible on a computer with all the key remapping software and media player software with hotkey support.
I haven't been able to find a way to do this in Android
Anyone know if my scenario is possible to set up?

Firstly i'm using lots of different music and video players and i only encounter this problem on Mx Player.
Problem is when i'm watching some video and i press 'Next' or 'Prev' buttons on the steering wheel it changes to next or previous video but at the same time it shows a soundbar and changes it's value. For example while 'Next' button decreases that soundbar 'Prev' button increases it's value. Strange thing is that soundbar doesnt effect system sound. I mean the soundbar shows when i use volume Up or down buttons. It effects Poweramp's volume bar.
In any other media player, "Next" and "Prev" buttons on my steering wheel only changes the song or video. Not volume bar.
I tried every combination of settings but couldn't solve this.
Any recommendations?

MX Player responds to the standard android key events. If it receives the volume up command, it will increase the volume. If it receives the Next command, It will play the next video.
Immediately after reproducing the issue, Can you collect a bug report from MX Player help menu and share here?
On any(most) screen.
Include the state app exited.
No matter dead of alive, start to play.
Perhaps turn on screen if it's easy to.
As above, the play/pause and back forward buttons don't respond. I have to go to settings and toggle the Player>Media Buttons option.
It then works for a while then stops again when shuffle is selected which is a pain.
Seems only to be an issue with MX, works perfectly on Poweramp, Spotify etc.
Thanks
