Building from Source. Only "System Tracing" and "Setting" is shown and work

[panahi-a]

Hi
I have done all instructions bellow and every thing goes well.
https://github.com/android-rpi/local_manifests/tree/android10

My raspberry pi 3 boots normally and the android environment starts but only "System Tracing" and "Setting" is shown on the screen and they work correctly.Then I can not exit and go to normal android user application environment.

What is wrong with my experience?

Kindly Regards.

@panahi-a As far as I understand that's the expected behavior.

environment starts but only "System Tracing" and "Setting" is shown on the screen

The build is using RPLauncher, you can create your own launcher to display the apps you want. If you build the ROM with this source code, you wont have any of the "normal android" applications like (Google, Play Store, Calculator, Calendar, etc.)

Then I can not exit and go to normal android user application environment.

If by normal android user application environment. you mean the normal "phone" experience you have to understand that the android-rpi you are building is an Android TV OS. So it wont be like a "normal android user application environment".

If you find weird the fact that you cannot navigate back (there's no back button). Well take a look into this Wiki. If you connect a USB keyboard, you will be able to navigate back by pressing Esc.

Hope it helps

It's an old issue, but I wanted to add my 2 cents. You can use ADB or UART connection to simulate a back key press.
ADB: adb shell input keyevent 4
UART: input keyevent 4
