[Feature]: Android Auto favorite button placement #2358

Open Tre916 opened 3 months ago

Description

Just a suggestion, but I think the Favorite button should swap position with the shuffle/random button on the main screen in Android Auto. My logic for this is you're probably only going to have to hit shuffle once on a whole playlist, but the favorite button you might need to hit for every song, and if you're navigating somewhere and want to favorite the song that's playing, you have to tap on RiMusic, wait a second or 2 for the animation, then tap the ... menu, then tap the favorite button. It's not much, but every second of distracted driving is dangerous. For Shuffle or Radio those are buttons you're not likely going to press more than 1x per drive.

Suggested Solution

Just swap the button positions and put favorite on the front page next to the back button.

I see now the radio button and favorite button are on the front page... unfortunately now there's no way to toggle random/shuffle. Unless there's some other way to open the overflow menu in Android Auto.

I just noticed that the favorite button is favoriting songs but the icon (heart outline) is not reflecting the status of the track (it doesn't fill in after it's been favorited or come up full if the track has already been favorited), it also doesn't toggle the favorite status. From what I've seen in my testing, it ONLY favorites the track.

Nevermind, it's behaving normally now, must have been feeling moody yesterday.
