Add or import the android-auto-sdk.jar into your app. +2. Ensure that Message notifications are extended using +NotificationCompat.Builder.extend(new CarExtender()...) +3. Add meta-data to your AndroidManifest.xml to specify that your app +is automotive enabled. + + <meta-data android:name="com.google.android.gms.car.application" + android:resource="@xml/automotive_app_desc"/> + +and include the following to indicate that the application wants to show notifications on +the overview screen. +res/xml/automotive_app_desc.xml + +<automotiveApp> + <uses name="notification"/> +</automotiveApp> + +Flow +----- +MessagingFragment is shown to the user. Depending on the button clicked, the MessagingService is +sent a message. MessagingService inturn creates notifications which can be viewed either on the +emulator or in a car. +When a message is read, the associated PendingIntent is called and MessageReadReceiver is called +with the appropriate conversationId. Similarly, when a reply is received, the MessageReplyReceiver +is called with the appropriate conversationId. MessageLogger logs each event and shows them in a +TextView in MessagingFragment for correlation. + +Known Issues: +------------- +- Emulator: Reply always sends text "This is a reply". No voice input in emulator. |
