It would be nice that radio droid support Android auto:

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
