Android Auto

Post by Wibbly » 21 Dec 2014 16:05

If my Lollipop Nexus 4 is in Car UI mode and I tap its home button, I briefly see the Android Auto logo and then nothing happens. Is there a API you can use as a trigger for Automagic, so I can start a flow when Android Auto tries to launch?

You could use trigger Car UI Mode: Enter to execute a flow when your device enters the car mode.

I have found a workaround to avoid using car ui mode in my flows, but what I was looking for was something to hook into pressing the home button when in car UI mode (to avoid the phone just briefly showing the Android Auto logo and not going to the home screen). E.g. so a flow would be triggered when I use the home button when in car UI mode.
