can coders code any custom function they like?

679 views

For all the different coders, programmers etc out there. Let’s say you have a computer or phone and you want to make some custom functions. For example, for devices which don’t have something like Samsung’s Sound Assistant and you wanted to play an app through a separate speaker than the rest of the apps, can you program a function like this? A use for this may be to play music through a speaker but have all other app audio play through the device speaker as to not disrupt the music.

From a software development point of view yes, we can make functions that do just whatever we want.

Now, there are hardware limitations that impose limits to what you can do. For example, a phone can have 2 speakers but they can be hard wired together so you cannot send sound exclusively to just one of them.

There are also limitations imposed by the operating system either by security reasons (for example you can’t access files of other apps) or for design reasons (for example, the phone can physically have 3 or more speakers but the operating system may only expose left and right for apps and automagically decide what goes to the third one)
