hi, it is possible to know how to make voice calls with the fcc carlauncher thanks
[Android Head-Units] SpeedFire-:
Depends on your device. What head unit do you have?
[Android Head-Units] SpeedFire-:
I don't know was it worth that effort or not but .. I kind of added them after 3 days of work..

Preview: https://gph.is/2B3G1Jl

What I've understood:

- These "Deep Shortcuts" functions were available only in some "supported launchers" as it was said by Google.

- These shortcuts work on Android 8+ devices only

- There was NO ANY documentation online regarding how to add this functionality into any third party launcher

- It seems as if Google wanted to keep this for its own launchers only.

But I somehow managed to get it working. The only missing part as of now - I can't get the icons generated by the source app. I will try again today.

Alpha with "Deep Shortcuts" support: fcclauncher-3.144-alpha-ds\

P.S. I hope this didn't break anything for older versions of android.

1. Make sure you've selected your device in FCC Settings -> System -> Advanced settings (probably you have Rockchip PX5)

2. Go to FCC Settings -> Connections -> Calls via phone -> Set up this app as default for calls

3. If calls do not work you can try different protocols in FCC Settings -> Connections -> Calls via phone -> Version of BT interface

Calls work in Premium. In free version you have 10 calls to try.

Spend Sunday Morning testing Player Widget with FCC version 3.44.

Putting in a Spreadsheet seemed to be the easiest way to record and be able to update the list, -- free form text in the Forum makes the Table a mess !@!

I have about 19 out of the 31 current Known Players Tested.

The others: Some don';t work in the USA DAB+ etc

Others are ones I choose not to install as I don't really want them and they are not Free. (a;ready purchsed far more players than I will ever use !!)

Note: Neutron - Only Purchased version seem to work. Eval one does not in Player Widget.

Greatly helps if any Players not acting as Quickplayers have their apps Closed.

Standard Player does not display correctly as it’s 4th Quickplayer name.

Typically displays last 4th player’s name.

The Podcast Player - Previous and Next do not work.. would be nice if those controls were able to activate the +30 -30 Jumps.

NEXT & Previous Podcasts does not seem to be a very useful function for Podcasts.

-----------

IF anyone else can post their findings, especially for Players I do not have, or cannot use here in the USA, I am sure that will help SpeedFire-

Testing and ensuring what works and do not for each new Version of FCC is a massive task just for one person (ie SpeedFire-)

Added to that, so many of thses Players apps are constantly being updated by their developers, which could potentially break them for FCC.

This is something we can all do to take some of that load off SpeedFire-

I've tried making Screen Recording Videos, but they are not nearly as good as yours, because yours shows the Cursor and the Touch.

I assume yours are a recording from Android Studio ?

So, If I install Android Studio on my Windows 10 PC, ( and get it running,) would I be able to take the FCC APK file, and run it and generate similar videos ?

---------- Post added at 01:58 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:03 PM ----------

How do I get this to work ?

Do I need the Paid Version of Spotify to be able to use this function ??
[Android Head-Units] SpeedFire-:
1. Probably yes

2. It seems that this feature works starting from Android 8.0 or even 8.1. I use it on Free Spotify account.
[Android Head-Units] Scopesys:
1- Cool -- I'll give Android Studio a try.

2- Spotify -- I have the Free version running.. I am Oreo 8.0

I assume the point is to make Shortcuts to Playlists ?

Where do I begin -- video does not show the same screens that I see on Spotify.

(Sorry, must be being stupid ... missing something)

Do I start with an Option somewhere in FCC, or within Spotify itself ?
[Android Head-Units] SpeedFire-:
1. Update Spotify to the latest version

2. Open it

3. Go to your library in Spotify app (the rightmost link on the bottom) my video starts there

4. Select your favorite playlist and long press on it.

5. Select option to pin playlist to home screen

6. Done
[Android Head-Units] tebukan:
I'm sorry, I'm gonna ask you a question off topic. In my car listening to music with poweramp does not turn off during the phone call with bluetooth. So the music doesn't stop. I have activated the bluetooth option but still continue. I use in the car radio, dasaita px3 and 7.1.2 Android version. v2.99 mcu version . No solution? No problem with other music players.
[Android Head-Units] Scopesys:
Thanks ... I was missing the need for the LONG PRESS on the Playlist :)
[Android Head-Units] SpeedFire-:
It seems that we have pictures too. Yeah!

Alpha: fcclauncher-3.144-alpha-ds2
[Android Head-Units] Scopesys:
Go to your library in Spotify app (the rightmost link on the bottom) my video

That's what I see on your video, but on the FREE version, that link is one in from the right, and the far right link is the "Get Premium" link.

I think you must actually be running the premium version.

On mine, I do not get the option to "Add to Home Screen"... so I am assuming that that function is only in the premium version.

Not a problem for me, as I do not use Spotify .. only installed it for testing..
[Android Head-Units] SpeedFire-:
No. It's definitely a free version (see screenshot).

I downloaded the latest x86 version (since only these are compatible with PC emulators) of Spotify from here: link.

Maybe this is a beta..
[Android Head-Units] Scopesys:
Thanks .. I had the latest of Spotify from the Google Play store.

Mine definitely had the 4th Icon, the Purchase Icon.

I'll try the one from your link ... :)

[MENTION=4292729]SpeedFire-[/MENTION]

This is very strange.

You seem to be using the previous version 8.4.82.664 for Windows

This is one behind the latest version 8.4.83.625 (the one currently on Google Play Store)

On Spotify website, in old versions, there is the one you have

8.4.82.664

The Windows version and the Android version.

But when the Android one is selected, although it says it is the previous version, the APK that gets downloaded is actually the latest version.

You might want to try the latest version 8.4.83.625 to make sure FCC works with it, and not just the previous Windows version.
[Android Head-Units] SpeedFire-:
I've just installed the latest version and it keeps working.

However. Make sure you have an Android 8.0+ device.

Here is the same latest Spotify on Android 7.1 (API 25, shortcuts are not available and a premium icon in the right corner) and Android 8.0 (API 26, shortcuts are available and only 3 buttons).

P.S. Chineese sellers tend to write fake versions of android into android settings (e.g. they can sell "Android 6.0" or "Android 7.1" devices which are in reality just Android 4.4 devices with a fake android version in settings. So you better check your real API with this app https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.gh.apiversioncheck. Android 8.0+ should have API 26 or higher.
[Android Head-Units] Scopesys:
The API version checker tells me I have 8.0 API 26

So does everything else that I run.

I have Spotify 8.4.83.625 and I get the Premium Update link on far right bottom.

I assume that when you run your version on the emulator, that there is a link somewhere else that allows you to update to premium ?

Otherwise, the Windows version is hacked !!! or you really have updated to the Premium without remembering ??

Maybe it is just me -- lets see what others report - although I suspect that those that are using Spotify in any serious way to want the Shortcuts, have the Premium subscription.
[Android Head-Units] Scopesys:
[MENTION=4292729]SpeedFire-[/MENTION]

SOLVED: You need PREMIUM to get rid of the "Premium link" and then when you long click on a LIBRARY song, you will get the option to "Save to Home Screen".

($0.95 for 3 month trial offer of premium) and it's now working for me just like your Video.

You must have a Premium account :)
[Android Head-Units] SpeedFire-:
Good to know! Thanks for clarifying.

I don't know why it works in emulator then - it does not say that it has premium in Spotify settings. But still works.
[Android Head-Units] Scopesys:
I am guessing that Spotfy allows developers using the Emulator, to have full access to all the Premium features, for development purposes.

Yes -- so it does look like that any user, wanting to make Playlist Shortcuts in FCC with Spotify, would need to have a Premium Account , which is good to be aware of.

I did make a few Shortcuts, and they work very well.. the only trouble is that the Shortcut Icon's Text is a small fixed size, gets truncated, and is so small on the HU, that it is not easy to read when driving.

Dragging it into the FCC Editor, allows a apparent Modification to Icon and Text content, but those changes are not reflected in the saved Icon.

Congratulation on figuring out how to do this undocumented function in FCC - sound like it was 3 days hard work :D

PS. Don't forget, currently, backing up FCC to Google drive is also making a copy on the HU'.

If this is intentional, maybe the menu for backup should make this clear.

[Android Head-Units] ojuniour:
Nice app man.. I'm here to report a bug and also ideas.

1. Most people are probably using the layout with the mini map layout. Can you enable it so the mini map can also be placed on the left also (instead of just right) for driver easy access - Unless there is a way to do that that I'm missing.

2. Long pressing on the mini map to "build route" comes up with an error " Keyless access to google map platform is deprecated. Please use an API key with all your API calls to avoid service interruption".

Extending ideas regarding the mini map..is it possible to import favorites and such from google maps/wave so you can just directly start navigation from the minimap rather than having to do that from an external map. That would be great. Thanks for the good work :) . (Now I have the paid version btw)

EDIT: regarding the mini map being located to the left, I've figured it out but the custom back layout is still built to the left.. like the background outlines where the icons and music widget is still stationed to the left side. Can you release the skin for the right hand side? Much appreciated.
[Android Head-Units] tonimontoia:
I tried everything but the voice calls with Google assistant do not work, if there is another program thanks
[Android Head-Units] Scopesys:
On a side not -- ref Google Assistant :-

Google Assistant is a Google Mess .. it's probably not anything to do with FCC.

Make sure Google Assistant works when you press the Microphone Icon.

If you really think it's FCC, just switch back to your default Launcher for testing.

One of the biggest issue I have with Google voice, is that it's Audio output level is low, even when it reduces or turns off the radio, its still significantly lower than the radio was. As far as I am concerned, it is a BUG in Google Assistant, and Google seem to refuse to recognize all the complaints from so many, and will not fix it, or better still, add a volume control withing the App.

SpeedFire- did come up with a partial solution, but due to Google Restrictions, the method used, it has to be enable manually every time the HU is booted or comes out of sleep.

One option is to use the Google Assistant in Android Auto, that does not have this reduced volume output issue.

You can install Android Auto as an APP on the HU, and call it up just like you would call up Assistant. Then talking to Google Assistant in the Android Auto implementation of Google Assistant works great, and the volume is what it should be.
[Android Head-Units] rigattoni:

Steering wheel buttons

I just played a bit with steering wheel button custisation. Didn't succeed to map single/double click to any of my existing buttons which are working fine with stock apps. Tried to map 'BT answer' and 'tune up'. Does anybody with MTCB unit succeeded with that?

[MENTION=4292729]SpeedFire-[/MENTION] what is Button behavir '-' in list of supported actions? Is it 'default' or is 'none'? I would like to be able to keep default action on single click and to map double-click actions only (and that not only of few listed buttons but for all my SWC buttons)

P.S. I'm not using mtc-keys xposed module. I hope FCC Launcher can provide key remapping without need for xposed module.

---------- Post added at 10:20 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:11 AM ----------

Maybe... If he asks for. As some behaviours don't need log to be figured out what is wrong.
[Android Head-Units] SpeedFire-:
Yes, this is done intentionally. You are right. When radio app is not running it starts it full screen (once). This is done to exclude some Rockchip bugs (made by Chineese programmers) - e.g. wheel buttons may not switch radio stations. Therefore we should live with it.

Disable option 'Always go to default screen' in Home settings.

Album cover cannot be fetched (unless you know any third party widget which was able to do this).

Title will probably work in next beta (as well as for Ipod, which is called A2DP in FCC).

This is not from FCC. FCC does not show any toasts related to that.
[Android Head-Units] pa.ko:
Thank you!

Well then for cover art of stock player you could look into xposed module mtc-music as it is used for these toast messages. It displays the cover art as well as other tgext info. Also HCT widget I sent is showing the cover art images
[Android Head-Units] Roerbakeitje:
And also about cover art / icon pcradio don't show in player.

By the way radio switch works ok . I.m very happy with that :good:
[Android Head-Units] SpeedFire-:
You need to set in PCRadio's settings some options like "show logo on lock screen", "show logo" or something like that. Then FCC will show them. Please try.
[Android Head-Units] TT_Vert:
I'm still working on the logs when knob stops working (Sometimes it takes a while). But in the inter rim, I also cannot see album art using jetaudio. I don't see any option to allow album art on lock screen or anything like that. If it's a bunch of work don't worry about it I can just open the app.

Dave
[Android Head-Units] Roerbakeitje:
I will do thanks. ( To Muts rain now)

Is there a way to load the favourite list in a widget or something of pcradio in the home screen?

Danny
[Android Head-Units] SpeedFire-:
That advice was for PCRadio only.

Regarding JetAudio I have no problems with album arts with it in emulator. Have you enabled album arts in FCC widget's settings?
[Android Head-Units] TT_Vert:
Yes I have. WHen I do click it it pops up a notification box that asks what I want to allow and FCC is already checked.
[Android Head-Units] TT_Vert:
Ok here are the logs. So basically when the volume knob stops working for volume (Press still works) it doesn't seem to output any signal to the MCU. Not when the knob stops working there is no display of volume change either on the screen. Speed volume steps still work.

novolumeclearedlogs.txt - This is a truncated log of me manipulating the volume knob up/down as well as the pull down and sliding volume high/low w/ finger when the knob volume control is NOT working.

novolume.txt - This is the full log including the log above. I manipulated both volume knob and used finger to control volume. This includes (or should include the events leading up to when the volume knob stops working, but I am unsure of at what time in this log)

goodvolumefinger.txt - This is everything working and finger control of volume only

goodvolume.txt - This is everything working and knob control of volume only.

Thanks much

Dave
[Android Head-Units] Roerbakeitje:
Maybe when there is time. Can you make the icon /album art rotating. Best with rounded option

Here my little help:

.XML

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <rotate xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" android:duration="4000" android:fromDegrees="0" android:interpolator="@android:anim/linear_interpolator" android:pivotX="50%" android:pivotY="50%" android:repeatCount="infinite" android:toDegrees="358" />

And someting​ like this in image view.

spinner.startAnimation( AnimationUtils.loadAnimation(activity, R.anim.rotate_indefinitely.

Degrees is not set by 360 because of stuttering .

It can also be 359 but not sure. Of the result.

Best regards.

Hi. I have two questions:

1. Is there a way to reset trip data manually?

2. Sometimes in the speed limit widget appears an arrow up. Why is that?

Thanks for the great launcher [MENTION=4292729]SpeedFire-[/MENTION]
[Android Head-Units] SpeedFire-:
Yes. It seems Waze somehow entirely blocks sending irKeyDown intents from the knob. I cannot do much in this case. Probably it is better to report this bug to Waze itself.
[Android Head-Units] SpeedFire-:
This was already added and.. removed. See here: https://xdaforums.com/android-auto/android-head-units/fcc-car-launcher-official-thread-t3639659/post73279226#post73279226

P.S. Your code is not applicable to the widgets (= remote views) it is only for normal views.
[Android Head-Units] SpeedFire-:
1. Not yet.

2. This means that you exceeded free 10 minutes (per day) for non-premium version.
[Android Head-Units] Roerbakeitje:
A I see. Performance issues. That's. Not something we want.

Thanks for responding.

Can we bring the favourite list of pcradio on the home screen? I a way ? Or is that impossible ?

Danny
[Android Head-Units] SpeedFire-:
If PCRadio's developer could build such a widget...

I don't think I will have enough access to the app's internals to do this.
[Android Head-Units] TT_Vert:
Do you see any log in there which shows waze is actually doing it or are you just assuming by what I've stated? Is there a way I can change the volume knob command to not use irKeyDown but rather whatever the touch volume is sending? IE turn knob once to the right is the same as moving my finger to the right to increase volume via the pulldown volume menu?

Thanks

Dave
[Android Head-Units] SpeedFire-:
Ok, guys.

Here is a new beta and it requires some actions from you:

1) Wheel button interception function is significantly redesigned:

- Up to 4 buttons may be intercepted on Rockchip devices (single and/or double click actions can be assigned to each)

- Double click detection should work more reliable.

YOU NEED TO RECONFIGURE BUTTON INTERCEPTION (SORRY)

2) Autobrightness for Rockchips is switched from 100 scale (which was assumed as %) to the real 255 scale for more granular control and exclusion of mistakes for me.

YOU NEED TO CHECK YOUR AUTOBRIGHTNESS SETTINGS AND ADJUST IF NEEDED (SORRY AGAIN)

3) Manual trip reset action can be assigned to widgets (find it in 'App to open on click' in widgets' settings)

YES - Maybe it could be a separate "NON GOOGLE PLAY STORE" app that could be called to run at FCC startup -- if such an APP is technically possible.

(Some Google's Rules for Play Store seem just plain dumb !!)

[MENTION=225467]Speed[/MENTION]: Have you been able to figure out something about the update issue with dab-z?
[Android Head-Units] Scopesys:
I tried with Tasker (New to Tasker -- 1st attempt to use it).

I came to a halt when Tasker needed an addon, and require ROOT ? to enable the disability functions. ???

Gave up and put it aside for those far wiser than me... and for the time being, am using Android Auto on the HU, just to provide Google Assistance.

The Assistant Volume and radio Volume reduction control works well in Android Auto - far better than in just running stand alone Assistant.

Once AA has been loaded once, it opens instantly when re-selected, and I treat it just like the Assistant APP...

It has the benefit that the display to tell you that the Microphone is active, is a lot better in AA, than in stand alone Assistant.

Hello,

I installed the latest beta version on google app store, the widget Play and music and almost perfect, but as already posted previously, on my car radio, I always have a problem with the volume adjustment with the knob, the adjustment is not regular , but jumps, back and forth, which does not happen if I uninstall FCC Launcher, I think there is something in the launcher that makes volume adjustment unstable.
[Android Head-Units] amxandy:
I am having the same issue. The on screen volume widget works fine, but if I use the car volume rocker, the volume changes by several numbers, then back. I wasn't sure if it was something that I did or not, but it does sound like we are both having the same issue. I have a Dasaita PX5 unit.
[Android Head-Units] Scopesys:
Try turning off the option to increase volume with speed (in FCC).

I think by default it is ON when you install FCC.

[Android Head-Units] Scopesys:
Now that we can backup & Restore successfully (Thanks :) ), I always backup, uninstall, clear caches, re-boot, and then Install the new version, and then restore settings.

I don't know how necessary all that really is with Android apps (greatly helps with Windows Programs !!) , but it's easy enough to do, and I feel I run less risk of some issues in an earlier version spilling over into the new install.

After all, Installing Fresh is what a new user would do when they get FCC, so it may well be a better way to evaluate all aspects of a new version.

Always exciting to see what changes and improvements SpeedFire- has been working on recently, and a great incentive to get up extra early on these cold winter mornings, to check out a new alpha/beta before heading off to work !!
