[Feature request] Android auto mode.
sigzegv opened this issue · comments
This is lacking android auto compatibility, is it planned or too complicated ?
Can you explain more? I don't have android auto so I can't properly test it. Maybe with a emulator but it might not work 🤷♂️
I understand.. this is really specific of course. I don't know if this mode exists on the android emulator.

Would you be happy with something like the spotify UI.
I can detect if it's connected to android auto but i would need you to test the feauture before i make a new release since i can't make the Android Auto Emulator work.
I tried using the app on a phone support in the car today and i can see why you want this feature XD.
I can test it of course, just tell me what to do (grabbing an apk or something else?)

It's just installing the apk. I will send it/them through this thread if that's okay to you.
My plan is to detect that it's connected to android auto and make the ui bigger on the player so it's easier to change the songs.
I'll try as soon as you have an apk for testing.
@sigzegv
Can you try the apk? It's inside a zip file because i can't upload apks on comments.
You need to enable the car player in settings to use it.
Basically i added the ui and made the queue items bigger when it's in car mode.
Feel free to tell me about bugs. It's a bit messy but i just want to try the core functionality before i polish this feature.
I had finally time to try this out, and sadly it seems the android system in the car doesn't detect the app, it's not available for launch. And I don't really know why this would happen. (but the version app still says 1.7.1 so maybe there's an issue in the shared apk here)

Try the release on the releases page. It probably won't work anyway because i didn't count for that. I basically listen if the car is connected and show the car player inside the app.
thnx for this information, I have installed the release apk but I didn't tested it yet in the car, I'll try to report back tonight or tomorrow.
