Good idea.

One or more pages for gauges, one for fault codes, one for TPMS, one for statistics ( ;) )

And make it choosable, which of them should be the OBD2AA starting screen.

Oh, that becomes better and better.

One side note: disabled the alarms for other warnings, but get road work alarms. Is this as expected?

Hoping, that YouTube auto gets banned forever from Android auto. Too many dumbasses texting while driving.

I think, they would be the same who watches videos while driving.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Emil Borconi:
Guys please do NOT spam this thread with that YouTube Player, I'm very much against it.

Yes I wanted (and it's still in my plans to create a YouTube player for Android Auto) BUT and it's a HUGE BUT there is no way I would ever create/allow/encourage an app which allows video playback on the move.

Please do keep it of this thread.

Thank you!
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Emil Borconi:
Some good news.

I've spoke with Ian (Torque developer) and he is going to add the ability for plugins to read/clear error codes opening the way to have them displayed inside Android Auto as some of you have requested this.

Current plugin integration does not allow this (without actually re-writing the whole code to read/clear the code, which will be slightly silly to reinvent the wheel) but with Ian's help this should be possible in the future.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] FormelLMS:
Those are fantastic news!

Looking forward for it.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] scoobdude:
Great news about working with Ian.

Also want to say I am a fan of the feature request such as additional selectable pages, adding a pic of the car (I think torque just added a car profile pic as well as a car profile.. Profile? Basically a like icon saying what kinda car it is and showed up at the top left with your ECU/obd adaptor icons

I also want to add the the Android auto YouTube is a bad idea in general but I think one for YouTube music would be great with just some album art or something.

On another note I saw a new setting that I am not sure what it does. It's the fartkontrol which is not for us in the us. It translated much funnier in English. But maybe an info page where all the settings are listed might help? Not necessary just trying to help

Lastly, again thank you for your hard work on all this. I still need to find the pids for my tpms
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Emil Borconi:
I will see, not sure where we can fit the car icon... But I'm not against it.

"Fartkontrol" - it's not that new. Trust me I had a laugh at the name as well :) it's a app for Denmark radar's (police and speed camera warnings)

Yes planning to write a detailed how-to in the op once beta moves to final release.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Emil Borconi:
Question to you:

I had received some request/suggestion about trip stats, now I know Torque does offer some kind of recording but I never really looked into it that much. Will this be of interest to you? I'm happy to add a stats/trip log function but only if it does have some added value, not if I'm duplicating existing functionality. Although the app is called "OBD2AA" and it was the original function to display Torque data on the screen now it does have a few functions which are totally unrelated to Torque, so the stats/trip log will probably be again one of those which will run independent from Torque.

Till now I more or less have the following in mind:

- Record mileage of each trip as well as other basic stats (max speed, average speed, time travelled)

- Geocode trip start/end position (for nice export)

- When connected to AA to give you a notification/easy way of selecting if it is a Business or a Personal trip (easy for business mileage reporting) and to have a possibility to continue previous trip instead of starting recoding a new one.

- Give possibility to log full details of the trip (that will require a lot of storage after a while)

- If Torque is connected record some more info about the trip (fuel used, avg fuel consumption)

I will be happy to add all this to the app but only if there is a real need for it so please do let me know either by commenting on the forum, either by sending me an email if you will like to see something like this coming to Android Auto.

Problems to open the App

Hi guys,

i hope you can help me.

I have Torque Pro and the OBDAA App on my Phone. Developer Modus is also activated in Android Car.

When I connect my S8 to the car, start Android Car and open the OBDAA App on the right of the screen, it opens a few times a blackscreen. After that I see the normal Android Auto background.

Is that a normal problem and do you have an idea how to fix it?

Sry for my english i'm from Germany.

Greetings Marco
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Emil Borconi:
Hi.

No that is not normal, please see op on how to capture a bug report and send it over to me so I can see what's wrong.

Thank you.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] FormelLMS:
Yes, statistics.... Great.

I love to have:

This trip

Time

Time rolling

Max speed

Distance

0 - 100

1/4 mile time

Same for this day, this week, this month, this year, overall.

For me that's all I love to see.

Did you change the speed database when you moved from camsam to your own? speeds are completely wrong in my area now, 30s are 20;s, 40's are 50 etc lol
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Emil Borconi:
No, database is the same, try to clear the data of the app, and strart from scratch, make sure you do export your setting before.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Emil Borconi:
Moved beta to release and updated info in OP.

Now I can start planning the changes for version 3.0 :)

Also I have made the source code of the app available, please see OP for more details.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] badmotor:
Hi - loving this app! Looks and works great.

I am having a couple of small issues.

Similar to GutenTagNoch's issue with the black screen, but not on startup. My car has a blind spot camera which turns on automatically when indicating and replaces the AA image with the camera image. When I stop indicating it swaps back and occasionally when returning to the OBD2AA App shows as blank. It either does it or it doesn't; ie: once it does it, it will do it every time for the remainder of the trip, but if it doesn't do it first time I indicate - it wont do it. It can be fixed temporarily by tapping to any other screen of AA and coming back and all the dials shows up again. But next time the screen switches away to the camera the app is blank again. Might be an AA thing, but thought I'd check.

The other issue is with the distance to empty function (inverted dial). It worked great, then I refilled the car and it hasn't reset the gauge, currently I'm at -19% below fuel level, which shows as 0 Km's on the dial and I get the alerts pop up on the screen every time the % change. I haven't checked whether reconfiguring the app gets rid of it (I'm sure it would) but hopefully it's something that should happen automatically?

I've set up the debugging as per OP and will send it through after the mirror cam/black screen issue happens again.

Cheers again, love it!

Hi Emil.

Now tested with 6 gauges, now not errors. I dont understand, but i am happy.

another question:

please send me TPMS sensor commands for Suzuki.

Jozsef.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Emil Borconi:
Hi.

I think the problem you are mentioning might have something to do with the video focus. If you could capture a bug report of when that happens it will help me understand.

The fuel issue, I guess you have it configured to show the warning based on car profile, not on fuel PID, that means after you fill up you need to edit your torque profile and indicate that the fuel tank is full, my app only reads the value from there, hope it makes sense.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Emil Borconi:
Glad it's all good now. I don't know the tpms pids for your car, you need to find the pids for your car and add them to Torque, once they work in torque you can configure them in obd2aa as well.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] FormelLMS:
Oups, now I have a little problem.

Changed now gauge 3 with gauge 5 because it looks better then.

Gauge 3 is now GPS from phone. On gauge 5 it has worked normally. Now it updates only every twenty seconds or so. All other gauges behaves normally.

Anyone an idea?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Emil Borconi:
Nope.... Did you try rebooting the phone might be nothing with the gauge number but with location services....
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] este.laz:
I cannot select a PID it does not show the list please help

i dont have exactly the same issue but if i go to reverse and back to forward, my reverse camera kicks in but it doesn't always go back to android auto, speeds seems fine now though
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Lumute:
Hi, first, thanks for this great app!

Could you pleas explain a little about how the speed camera feature works?

I understood from the OP you capture notifications from CamSam and that's why you need that permission. I do not have CanSam installed yet I get speed camera notifications!? I then noticed the app does have settings to configure this and it's downloading and processing its own database... So is CanSam and notifications permission not needed anymore? What's the source of this DB?

I'm a little bit confused... Also, I have very little mobile data so I configured it to only download on WiFi but there is no way to know if this has happened, could you add a last updated datetime (and maybe DB version) and a button to force the download? I think those would be very useful...

Sorry to be the newbie here but, what poll?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Emil Borconi:
Logs please
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Emil Borconi:
It was using CamSam plus in the beginning, but I'm not any more. You do not need CamSam it's incorporated in the app now (I have updated the op as well). As of database it's the same as CamSam.

For poll if you open the thread in a browser you will see the thread.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] PSM 6.4:
How do I add, custom background and custom gauges? Sorry, OBD2AA noob here.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Emil Borconi:
In preferences you enable you enable use custom BG, then you select the image.

For custom gauge BG, under each gauge setting you enable use custom bg and then you select the image file.

Hope it makes sense.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] PSM 6.4:
What format and resolution does the image file need to be in, for custom background?

Thanks
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Emil Borconi:
Can be BMP, PNG, jpg but aspect ratio should be 2:1 or 1:1 for needle and gauge background.

Hi Emil

Please consider allowing to name the export file.

It is impossible to export to the same directory multiple times without overwriting the other.

Better yet, perhaps add the timestamp in the name to the the exported file.

Plugin not launching in AA

Excited to try this out on my brand new Hyundai Tucson :)

Unfortunately, when I press the AA app button (last tab) it only brings up a shortcut to return to Hyundai main screen.

Does that mean the plugin is not working? How best to check?

I have debug enabled as per instructions (just didn't see the "unknown sources" option).

Looking forward in testing and provide feedback to make this app the best it can be.

In the developer options scroll down and you will find the unknown sources at the bottom.

I don't think you need debug on for this.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] scoop_dtx:
Like this
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Emil Borconi:
No I don't need a debug for this. I will consider, the problems are with very high and very low range gauges, for example the rpm, or others where the scale between -1, 1 or similar making numbers only a small fraction.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] scoop_dtx:
Maybe a min / max number and it will space it out?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Emil Borconi:
I will try to reproduce the logic used by torque to get the numbers...

Oh. That sounds hard!

which obd device can you suggest to me ? I only use it for this project.(not for reading a code from my car.) I dont know much about obd devices :D

Thanks [MENTION=842765]Emil Borconi[/MENTION]
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Emil Borconi:
Almost any of them will do, I will probably stay away from the ones which cost 2-3$ but I would probably avoid spending 30$ either. You need to decide if you want to use a Bluetooth one or a WiFi one, personally I will suggest BT. Also you might consider one which has auto power off. If you are using the car on daily or very frequent basis it doesn't make a big difference but if you have days in row when you don't start the car the auto power of feature is almost a must.

Hope this helps.

[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] spiff72:
Excited for updates, but I may have changed too much at once. :silly:

Installed the Oreo beta on my Nexus 6P this afternoon and then saw this update and installed it as well. I cleared data for OBD2AA. I had a ton of app crashes as I tried to configure the app for my PIDs. Torque app is acting flakey too (slow to respond, slow to connect to my adapter, etc). I eventually did get a connection to go through and had gauges displayed on my drive home, but only the first two were working (aux Batt voltage and MPG instant). The remaining gauges all showed the same value as my MPG gauge but had no labels.

I think the MPG gauge was the last one I had configured before a series of crashes in the OBD2AA app. Haven't had a chance to try connecting again, but I did get the remaining gauges configured in the app now.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] drc13:
Really looking forward to giving this a shot, installed the xda labs app and went to install OBD2 but before I put down the money I have a question (not that it's much but with so many compatibility issues I'd love a way to trial)

Can I setup custom dials to overlay ON TOP of other android auto apps? An example of this would be using google maps or waze to navigate but with an overlay of a boost guage showing up where ever I move it to on the map.

Using android auto for navigation, a bluetooth OBD2 scanner, plus playing audio via bluetooth at the same time should work?

Cheers
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Pyrres:
Do send an PM to the dev so he gets more data about the gauges showing the wrong data.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] FormelLMS:
No overlay on Android Auto at this time
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Emil Borconi:
Hi.

That's not good :( sorry for your poor experience. If the app crashes that is probably on me, values not updated correctly that might be me or might be Torque. That being said Oreo Beta might still have small bug residues, so in order to get to the bottom of this I will need to see some logcats for both app crashes and gauge data. Please enable the debugging option inside the app before capturing the reports.

This is how you can get a logcat:

1. Enabling Developer Mode

1. Open Settings > About phone.

2. Scroll down to the Build number.

3. Tap the Build number 7 times in quick succession until "You're now a developer" appears.

4. Return to the Settings menu and select Developer options.

5. At the top of the screen, make sure 'Developer options' is set to On (green).

6. Scroll down to Debugging and enable both USB debugging and Bug Report Shortcut on (green).

7. Tab on Logger buffer sizes: Default setting is 256K. Select 16M to help capture more information for debugging. Of note, it can affect the apps performance especially with lower spec phone, so change it back after you have finished submitting bug reports.

2. Capturing a Bug Report

It's very important to do this right after you experience the issue again, so your device can log at least one occurrence of the issue.

1. Hold the Power button down until the menu appears.

2. Select Take bug report. and wait for the device to capture the bug report.

3. Tap the 'Bug report captured' notification when it appears.

4. Share the bug report. (I recommend to email it to yourself.)

5. Download the bug report to your computer.

6. Send the bug report by email to borconie@gmail.com

[MENTION=5798958]Pyrres[/MENTION] if you can please update to the latest version from XDA Labs and use above instructions to send me over some debug data it will be appreciated.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Emil Borconi:
- I don't think overlays will ever be allowed on AA, so no.

- I do plan to release a trimmed down free version of the app as well, just haven't got the time to get around it, till than if you purchase and you are not happy feel free to contact me and I will refund you without hesitation.

- Android Auto uses the USB for the audio transport, unless you are using my HUR app which have the ability to disable the USB audio sink, on official Android Auto units all audio is played over USB.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] m0tyrider:
Hey Emil,

Not sure if this has been asked before, but do you think its possible for your app to add stuff onto the home screen of android auto? like a widget with a gauge there?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Pyrres:

[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Emil Borconi:
I will add it to the list, you're the second person requesting this and I know that list is bloody long, so will do.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] spiff72:

Thanks!
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Pyrres:
Actually add me to the list. Alphabet order helped a lot but search would be great.

And about the overlay. What about using the same type of thing as music players? When you select certain selection it keeps "changing the song" constantly and showing mini version of that data at the upper part or the screen? Would that work even in theory? Considering Spotify and Waze can show custom data like album covers and song names up there.
