Alternative to the deprecated AudioManager.isWiredHeadsetOn?

This is my solution:

private boolean isHeadsetOn(Context context) {
    AudioManager am = (AudioManager) context.getSystemService(Context.AUDIO_SERVICE);

    if (am == null)
        return false;

    if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT < Build.VERSION_CODES.M) {
        return am.isWiredHeadsetOn() || am.isBluetoothScoOn() || am.isBluetoothA2dpOn();
    } else {
        AudioDeviceInfo[] devices = am.getDevices(AudioManager.GET_DEVICES_OUTPUTS);

        for (AudioDeviceInfo device : devices) {
            if (device.getType() == AudioDeviceInfo.TYPE_WIRED_HEADSET
                    || device.getType() == AudioDeviceInfo.TYPE_WIRED_HEADPHONES
                    || device.getType() == AudioDeviceInfo.TYPE_BLUETOOTH_A2DP
                    || device.getType() == AudioDeviceInfo.TYPE_BLUETOOTH_SCO) {
                return true;
            }
        }
    }
    return false;
}

The documentation's deprecation message states:

Use only to check is a headset is connected or not.

So I guess it is okay to keep using it to check whether or not a wired headset is connected, but not to check whether or not audio is being routed to it or played over it.


Try this solution. It's working in my case. May be this helps you!

IntentFilter iFilter = new IntentFilter(Intent.ACTION_HEADSET_PLUG);
Intent iStatus = context.registerReceiver(null, iFilter);
boolean isConnected = iStatus.getIntExtra("state", 0) == 1;

It works for me correctly:

if(context.registerReceiver(null, new IntentFilter(Intent.ACTION_HEADSET_PLUG)).getIntExtra("state", 0)==1){
//if(audioManager.isWiredHeadsetOn()){
    System.out.println("Headset is wiredOn");
}
else{
    System.out.println("Headset is not wiredOn");
}
