Feature request: please support Android auto

[SteveSte]

It would be nice that radio droid support Android auto: https://developer.android.com/training/auto/start/

Android auto prevents distractions while driving.

Thanks for the good job! keep it up :)

Hi, The good part is that it is already half implemented, the bad part that it is half implemented and stayed this way for quite some time. See #315

If you are able to compile the source code, just comment out the lines:

<!--<meta-data--> <!--android:name="com.google.android.gms.car.application"--> <!--android:resource="@xml/automotive_app_desc"/>-->

<!--<meta-data--> <!--android:name="com.google.android.gms.car.notification.SmallIcon"--> <!--android:resource="@drawable/ic_launcher"/>--> to <meta-data android:name="com.google.android.gms.car.application" android:resource="@xml/automotive_app_desc"/>

<meta-data android:name="com.google.android.gms.car.notification.SmallIcon" android:resource="@drawable/ic_launcher"/>

in AndroidManifest.xml.

Hello Together,

I have a car with Android-Auto support. I tried different Players for now, but there is no Player as good as this out there. It would be really cool to have this feature implemented.

I am not a programmer by profession, but if there is a way I can help (e.g. Testing) please let me know.

Happy coding Tim

@segler-alex Fantastic. Many thanks.

Happy coding Tim

These are all the duplicates about Android Auto feature. It may be worth closing the duplicates and keeping a single one open.
