[Feature Request] - Compatibility Android Auto

[georgeschris01]

Will this version be available on Android Auto? I read that CappielloAntonio's version was, but I admit I downloaded that version directly.

So it's possible it is, but it doesn't appear on my Android Auto.

Thank you for your work :-D

Hi @georgeschris01 This version includes everything that CappielloAntonio - it builds on top of it. What version are you on? The last version on from the old repo was 3.9.0 - The releases here start at 3.10.0 and I just released 3.13.0 yesterday. Android auto has not been removed and should work.

Admittedly, I don't have/use that feature and am working to figure out how to get the emulator working on my laptop to test.

Hello, I installed the latest version and I still don't have Tempo on Android Auto. I have Google Android Auto version 14.7.652684.

I'm in no rush, take your time ;-)

Hi @georgeschris01 Can you verify the version number of Tempo in the Settings? Scroll to the bottom. Also, where did you install from? With my fork I am only distributing releases from github releases.

Hi @Londoneye02 ,
Can you verify the tempo version?

This feature was working before I forked it, and as far as I know, no code has been removed regarding this feature.

So if it's broken then I must have done something at the first fork.

You have to enable Android Auto developer options, which are different from actual Android dev options. Then you have to enable "Unknown sources" in Android Auto, otherwise the app won't appear as it isn't downloaded from Play Store.

@jaime-grj Thanks for the clarification! I think I am going to create a USAGE.md or something to similar to link from the README.md for more details on how the application works. This would be perfect for that.
If we have any screenshots, I plan on getting an emulator for android auto to work since I don't have a way to test/see this myself.

[georgeschris01]

Hello everyone, I'll test this tomorrow and let you know.

Thanks for the information.

[georgeschris01]

Yes , is good , thank :-D

Moving this to a discussion so we can add it to documentation.

[Londoneye02]

Hi @eddyizm . I would like to contribute by adding this to the documentation. Any hint where should it be added?

PS : it worked for me too.

[eddyizm]

@Londoneye02 I haven't yet tested it but I believe we can create a USAGE.md (or we can name it documentation) and slowly add stuff there, with a table of contents at the top perhaps, this would link from the main readme file and publish to github pages site.

Should be quick to test on a branch, adding some screenshots and stuff would be nice for new users as well. Android auto is particularly difficult for me since I don't have that product and not certain I can create/generate a emulator to test/dev/screenshot on it. So any help there is appreciated.

[eddyizm]

ok, i added this to the new documentation I started, however I don't have screenshots so there is still that to add.
