Android-AutoErrors
commented
3 years ago Hi,
I have resolved the part but yet its not getting detected on the Desktop head unit. Not only Desktop Head unit it is not even getting detected on the Android Auto App when you open Customize launcher.
The issue is the same settings works fine with
i) Change from template to media and
ii) Change from action android:name="androidx.car.app.CarAppService to action android:name="android.media.browse.MediaBrowserService".
With the combination of above two the app is getting detected in the Android Auto App > Customise launcher as well as desktop head unit.
I also added android.useAndroidX=true android.enableJetifier=true
in gradle properties but no luck.
Other details you might find relevant: Android Studio Version: 4.2.1 Android Auto is running on Device with Android 10 Google services version is: 4.3.8 Desktop head unit version is: 1.1 Build tool version is : 30.0.3 Min Sdk Version: 23 Target sdk version : 30

UNABLE to detect navigation app in Android Auto
We are working on a Navigation application and are facing problems in getting navigation app detected in Android Auto
Below you will see:
a) Libraries we used b) Android Manifest file c) automative app desc file code for Android auto d) Different solutions we tried but didn't work
For the same we have followed the given documentation: https://developer.android.com/training/cars/navigation
a) We have used the given libraries (To check the working with both) implementation “androidx.car.app:app:1.0.0” implementation "androidx.car.app:app:1.0.0-rc01"
Now the issue we are currently facing is the detection of app in Android Auto (The android auto along with the desktop head unit for testing are both updated to the latest version)
b) Here is how the Android Manifest file looks:- <service android:name=".AndroidAuto.HelloWorldService" android:exported="true">
and the meta data is:- <meta-data android:name="com.google.android.gms.car.application" android:resource="@xml/automotive_app_desc" />
c) Further the automative app desc file code for Android auto is:-
d) Now I would like to point out couple of things:-
i) Simple changing template to - media/sms/notifcation (Still not detected in android auto) ii) Further on changing the service's name to Messaging or Media and keeping template as the name in xml file the app is still not detected in android auto iii) Now the only case the app was detected in android auto was when I switched the category to Media/Messaging in intent filter of service and keeping the automotiveApp tag name as media/sms/notifications.
So the combination in iii) point although detected by android auto doesnt fit requirement of Navigation App.
In conclusion the setup for Android Manifest and XML file are working fine and are getting detected by android auto in case of Media/Messaging app refernece taken from: https://developer.android.com/training/cars/messaging
But on the same website content of the given files present in document for Navigation: https://developer.android.com/training/cars/navigation is not working.
Please guide us on what changes needs to be done in order to fix the same.
