Hi,

Possible to add Android Auto support for this app?

Thanks,

I don't drive :)

I would love to see that as well.

If this app used audio_service, rudimentary Android Auto and Apple CarPlay support would "automatically" be added. I will try and whip up a quick PR for this soon.

Any news on this ? I'd be delighted to have basic controls on Apple CarPlay.

The app uses audio_service now, so it should be supported out of the box. Again, I don't drive so I can't test.

It looks like Google has a desktop head unit option that allows for testing Android Auto without the need for a head unit. It basically runs Android Auto in an emulator on your dev box. Not sure if Apple has something similar for carplay though. Hope this helps! I really like Koel and would love to see it get Android Auto support

Is there any further information on this? i just got a car with android auto, and it does not seem to work. Is there anything i can do to help test this?

I don't know the framework or the language, but I would be super down to help.

This documentation should help if it's something anyone is interested in working on: https://developer.android.com/training/cars/media

For me, this is the most important feature a music app can have.

Were you able to fully test the Android Auto support? I have a branch where I was playing around with it and simply adding metadata wasn't enough. (I very well could have missed something though)

I haven't been able to fully test Android Auto support due to the lack of a compatible Android device at my disposal. However, I've conducted tests for Apple CarPlay compatibility and can confirm that it appears to function properly.

Ah okay, nice work on the CarPlay functionality! Full disclosure, not a mobile dev, just someone stumbling through to try and add a feature I really want.

I'll take a peek with just your changes on the Android side and report back.

Thanks everyone! I’m currently on vacation and will take a look at this once I’m back.

This didn't seem to work, from what I read you need to add more to setup the UI. (All I really care about is just playback controls but it seemed annoying to get even that working)
