How do the buttons on wired earphones work? It is not immediately clear since the 3.5mm plug has just four connections, and they're already used by the left and right audio channels, the microphone and the common ground.
But on Android devices, a simple voltage divider circuit is used to send different voltages to the microphone pin when a button is pressed. Different voltages are interpreted as different commands. Clever!
