I know the issue of the volume control on android has been discussed ad nauseam but what I want to propose is that whatever is decided to do on the backend (which I think settled on using the same volume management for both kodi and system) the appearance should look and behave like the one present on XBMC 13.2-Gotham. Right now (Kodi 16.1) when the volume is increased or decreased the system volume control pops up (which depending on your system can be ugly or not.. unlike 13.2 which looked fine) AND it brings up the android soft key bar (http://i.imgur.com/7KeTREh.png) which it's very annoying since it further blocks the image and distracts you from what you're watching. It is also not very easy to dismiss if you're using an android TV box instead of a phone or tablet. I think that the android soft key bar shouldn't be brought up when the volume is changed, like it behaved on xbmc 13.2.
I'm sorry if I have missed one development or two in this front but I have read about the whole situation from time to time while following the development of previous versions of kodi. Again, I want to clarify that I'm not trying to start the technical argument once again, I'm strictly speaking about changing the appearance of the volume management. Any comment on this would be appreciated.
