HD+ - Android Auto Support

version 1.0.1991 (beta)

  • Lots of Android Auto changes
  • Improved Life360 support (discussed more in the main HD+ thread)

Android Auto

I added a bunch of new things here:

  • I'm displaying the Car API (see the "CarAPI 5" below) in the app. Version 6+ supports a tab layout so this is 1 way you can check if your car supports that or not
  • I'm loading custom images now for devices; right now you'll probably see the default icon show up for a second and it'll be replaced with the custom image. I'll see if I can improve that but my goal was NOT to delay the UI for some image that needed to be loaded over the web
  • fix HSM icons and state
  • some tweaks to thermostats
  • devices should now update to their correct state while the car UI is running -- even if the android app isn't
  • IF you have car API 6+ you can now enable tab support (disabled by default)
  • The tab UI is completely untested (I have no way to test ATM) so no guarantees it'll work.. but, if it does break you should be able to disable it in the app to get the normal version again.
    • NOTE: you can change the tab name and icons in the app but I haven't implemented everything in the car UI yet.. just hoping to get it working first!
