I tried adb shell am start -n com.navimods.radio/.RadioActivity as a shell command in Tasker, but it gives me an error message.

Does anyone have an other idea?
[MTCD Software Development] KoTiX2:
I don't use tasker at all...

I really can't help you
[MTCD Software Development] acvaristul:
Hello,

Basically, what are you trying to solve?

What is the result you would like to achieve?
[MTCD Software Development] EJOK2:
Tasker intent codes or shell commands to start Navradio+

I'm using a startscreen on my Android Head Unit (like FCC Car Launcher) that handles all music apps and shows the album art, without the need for showing the actual app (Navradio+, Poweramp).

Using intent codes in Tasker this works perfectly fine (in the case of Poweramp the intent codes I need are well documented).

I'm trying to do the same thing with Navradio+. The only intent code I need is to

start Navradio+ in the background

. The rest (volume, showing albumart, station switching) is handled on my startscreen.

I know this can be achieved with an intent code, but it can also be done using a shell command. That was what I tried to do, but it gave me an error and Navradio+ didn't start.
[MTCD Software Development] acvaristul:
How do you start the application?

If I understood correctly, you want the following sequence:

- start the application (NavRadio+) from the dedicated icon,

- the music starts playing from the last used radio station,

- the application goes immediately in the background, but it continues to work.

- The HomeScreen of your launcher is displayed on the top of the display.

Correct?

I use MacroDroid and I will try to see how this can be done automatically. You will need to install Macrodroid and let it run.
[MTCD Software Development] EJOK2:
Start NavRadio+ in the background using Tasker

Yes, this is correct. If MacroDroid can do this, I would be very interested.

Mind you, it is important that there is minimal delay or screen flickering while MacroDroid "does its thing".
[MTCD Software Development] acvaristul:
MacroDroid (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.arlosoft.macrodroid&hl=en) launches with the android system and remains resident in memory (in the background).

He "follows" the system and only intervenes if one of your conditions applies. There is no flickering and no apparent delay.

I will try to see if I can create a "rule" that will do what you want. What "Launcher" are you using now?
[MTCD Software Development] RolandE1204:
Radio stops if not in foreground

I do have the full version of your radio on my headunit running the latest version of Malaysk' ROM and FCC-Launcher. As soon as the radio will be pushed into background (either by FCC, pushing the Home-Button or getting in Reverse (the reverse-cam will be activated)) NavRadio+ will stop playing. Is there any solution for this behaviour?
[MTCD Software Development] KoTiX2:
The problem is on FCC side, it start the original radio instead of leaving the audiofocus to NavRadio. i already contacted the dev about it but after 2 weeks i got no answers.

Please report this issue in FCC thread too so maybe he will have a look at it faster.
[MTCD Software Development] acvaristul:
Yes, in the "Settings" of the NavRadio.
[MTCD Software Development] EJOK2:
All my apps and Tasker shortcuts are on a KLWP wallpaper. I use Nova Launcher to show the KLWP wallpaper.

I already fiddled around with MacroDroid and it looks like it could work. The only problem I have is that I also need to be able to start Navradio+ the traditional way (so that I can change settings). How can I do this without MacroDroid interfering?

(by the way: thanks for your time. It is appreciated).
[MTCD Software Development] acvaristul:
All the rules (Macros) you create can be temporarily disabled from the MacroDroid interface. So, it is enough to open MacroDroid application and disable that macro made for the NavRadio. Then, open NavRadio in the classic way and make the desired settings... after everything is fine, go back to MacroDroid and enable your macro rule.
[MTCD Software Development] AdekP:
OK ;)

A little list of the changes in the upcoming release:

Fixed bug saving logos in the FAV list

Fixed crash at startup for some MTC devices

Enlarged characters in the settings Improved visibility in dialogue popups

Added logos for Australia

Added logos for BayArea California

All logos has been recompressed and they are not taken from wolksavagen anymore but they are stored on my personal Dropbox.

If the testers will report good news I'll probably update the official release too.

By the weekend the free version should be ready too.
[MTCD Software Development] royalhawk2002:
Thank you. I will test it during next week end

I have just bought the radio app. I am amazed. Brilliant work from Kotix here.

I know its early days etc but the only issues I have are as follows.

1/ Then using the Station buttons vertically, you cannot scroll below #6 and stop. The scroll keep flicking back to where it was. So for me if I am on #2 and want #6 i have to select #5 first then #6. I cannot scroll and the list stay where it stops.

2/ Would prefer a colour wheel or preset colour rather than dictated themes.

3/ The selected preset button is bigger than the rest. This looks untidy.

Having said that, best £4.99 I have spent recently.
[MTCD Software Development] Timpuli:
Updated to the latest release in the morning... Works fine without issues so far, like previous versions. Haven't tested logos because I use my own logos as before.

But there is still some breaks in radio sound when I return to radio. This happens for example when you are exiting from menu or reversing a car and resuming back to radio... Is it normal?

Unit: MTCE_PX30_MX
[MTCD Software Development] AdekP:
Now is too large ;)

I still have the same prbolem
[MTCD Software Development] KoTiX2:
It's not really normal, I'm working on the audiofocus issue but I can't find the right combination of things to make it work as it should.

My priorities now are a crash that happen randomly and the audiofocus.
[MTCD Software Development] KoTiX2:
I didn't had time to fix those issues, sorry.
[MTCD Software Development] royalhawk2002:
I confirm that a small audio break is occurring when coming back from reverse.

Another issue with Agama launcher. Each time the unit exit the sleep (hot start) the radio app is closed. Doesn't occurs with other apps (I.e. DAB Z)

Hello. I bought the app. It is very beautiful and useful. We expect Turkish language support. Thank you
[MTCD Software Development] AdekP:
I don't know if it is a Navradio bug or hal9k ROM installed on my system. In a situation when: I say "OK google" the sound from the radio turns off and that's good. But if I then say "navigate to eg Home" google maps start with navigation and the sound from navradio is still gone ... And it should start playing again after accepting the command by "OK google".
[MTCD Software Development] KoTiX2:
It's probably a NavRadio issue with audiofocus.

I'm trying to fix the audiofocus but it will take some time.

Anyway you can simply try the same thing with original radio app if it does the same and let us know how it goes.
[MTCD Software Development] AdekP:
Tomorow i will try

Edit: with internal radio its ok
[MTCD Software Development] Tux2609:
Regarding audio focus, as I said before, when I turn my car on and radio wakes up from sleep the app runs but there's no sound. If I exit the app and open it again, it works. What I also noticed is when this happens it also helps if I open any kind of settings (within the app of course), being that interface or otherwise and when I get back to the radio it's like it restarts itself and the sound works.
[MTCD Software Development] KoTiX2:
It has been a very busy week fixing many different bugs. This is a list of the upcoming release:

Fixed crash when saving logos in FAV list

Fixed cancellation of FAV and normal lists: deleting FAV list will remove only the FAV flag from FM/AM list, deleting FM/AM lists will delete FAV list too

Fixed Crash (nullpointer) on some MTC devices. This took the most of my time to fix itand i hope to don't see it anymore.

Fixed bug of creation of multiple station buttons after editing a station

Radio Area selection in settings for MTC devices has been removed because it is read straight from MCU.

Improved visibility in dialogue popups and settings

Added logos for Australia

Added BayArea California logos

All logos have been recompressed and the wolksvagen site is no longer used

First fixes for audiofocus... I know there is still a lot of to do here.

Romanian and Spanish languages added

other various fixes ...

I give a day to testers to report major issues, then i'll update it in playstore to version 1.27.

I also created the free version of the app (1.27), without logos and without interface cuctomizations. People can find the link in first post.

The free version is intended mainly to accomplish the xda rules and to let the new users test the compatibility with their units.
[MTCD Software Development] AdekP:
So quickly, after today's update (1.27) , the problem with muting the radio when using navigation via "OK Google" still occurs. But I did not do a full restart of the station, maybe it will help;)
[MTCD Software Development] Timpuli:
HU: MTCE_PX30_MX

Updated today to the latest version 1.27 and after update app won't start anymore? Only "splash screen" is shown for a moment and after this app will close. Radio however will start to background but no GUI is shown at any point.

Uninstalling and re-installing won't help, same issue/ bug. Radio app do not work anymore in my HU... :confused:
[MTCD Software Development] KoTiX2:
If you have Hal9k rom please remove the app from the list of thapps that doesn't close after sleep.

Somebody found it out after I release it...
[MTCD Software Development] Timpuli:
Yes, I use Hal9k's rom. I will try this and will report later today. Thanks for the info!
[MTCD Software Development] Timpuli:
Ok, app is working now. Problem was ROM setting of "programs which can't work together" or something like that. I was "blacklisted" Spotify and NavRadio+ applications to working at the same time and this was causing this problem. But now there is some audiofocus issues still, because Spotify and radio controls are mixed up... If Spotify is closed (but still in background) and you change radio channel Spotify will start to play again, with next track.

Improvements: There is no more short breaks if you are e.g. reversing and switching back to radio. Great!
[MTCD Software Development] acvaristul:
Here is a short video clip with the operation of a simple "macro" that does what you want.

And here are the NavRadio settings:

I hope this is what you wanted to solve.
[MTCD Software Development] KoTiX2:
New version 1.79 is on the way.

The Changelog:

Increased SDK version to 29

Added small Frequency in fullscreen top left corner when big freq is disabled

Added logos assignement based on PTY.(Enable it in logos settings)

Added option to select pty logos or NavRadio+ logo in logos selection list popup

Updated all VolksWagen logo packages to latest version

Fixed sporadic crash in EDIT and ADD station dialogs.

Fixed glitches in listview

If enabled, the PTY logos are assigned as a last resource in case no logos are found by sid number, by station name or by frequency.

If more than one logo is found by name or freq scraping, the popup with the list of available logos is shown as usual but now you have 2 more items to choose from: pty logo or NavRadio+ logo.

Once a logo is assigned the popup will not show anymore.

Suggestions for better icons for PTY or for NavRadio+ logo are reallly wellcome. I'm not totally satisfied with their look ;)

[IMG="selection list with pty"]https://i.imgur.com/SJzhoAG.png[/IMG]
[MTCD Software Development] Timpuli:
I noticed following issue in version 1.79: When channel is selected from the memory and mem. position is "focused" (with different color), after channel seek up/ down, this old "focused" mem. position is still active (or focused) if channel seek is stopped to the frequency which is not stored in memory. If next tuned frequency is stored in memory focus will change correctly to right stored memory position.

[MTCD Software Development] Scopesys:
Export & re-install older versions

[MENTION=2734955]KoTiX2[/MENTION]

GREAT NEWS -- but

If I update to the latest version, there does not appear to be any going back to a previous version, if the latest version gives me issues (or I prefer an earlier version - for whatever reason)

Even if I EXPORT the version I currently have , before I update from the Play Store, and then uninstall the updated version, I am unable to then re-install the earlier exported version.

I realized there is a potential issue with an "exported" version being distributed, and thus potentially by passing the purchase, but other apps seem to be able to deal with this by limiting the functionality of the restored exported app, until such time that the app checks in with Play store, to confirm that it is a legitimate (purchased) install.

So other apps, like for Instance "FCC launcher", allow an exported copy to install, do not turn on the Pro/Purchased feature, until the app has checked in with Play Store to authenticate purchase ...

Maybe NavRadio+ could operate in the same way, Install from a export, but even NOT FUNCTION ALL ALL, until it has checked in with Play Store ( or run in a limited "TRIAL" way until authenticated)

This would also have the additional benefit, ( to the developer,) of not having to keep a Trial version, and update a trial version etc. The version installed acts like a trial version, until such time that it is authenticated by PlayStore to have been purchased.

If the above was implement, it would benefit both the user & developer. :)

Users would be able to go back to a previous version, if the latest version causes an issue, or to confirm changes etc, and the developer would not have to consider maintaining a "Trial Version", that if not updated, soon starts to bear no relationship to the purchasable version.
[MTCD Software Development] Al Ferro:
Using an older app version is very easy ,I've done it a few times, you have to be creative, use your imagination in any possible way to make it work, I'm even using different app icon.
[MTCD Software Development] KoTiX2:
FCC use the in app purchase feature.

I'm not using that feature at all right now and i don't need it.

It's normal that you cannot install an older version of any app over a newer one and this doesn't depend on playstore but that's the way android work : You have to uninstall the newer one first.

If you cannot install the exported older version even after uninstalling the new one, then maybe you need a reboot first to let it clean the cache or maybe you are doing something wrong somewhere...
[MTCD Software Development] Scopesys:
I must be .. but cannot figure out what.

I uninstall the current version.

Re-Boot

Try to install a previous version that was exported, and it says it fails to install.

Any help from anyone who has managed to do this would be greatly appreciated :0
[MTCD Software Development] okij:
[MENTION=9325785]Scopesys[/MENTION]: I haven't updated to version 1.79 yet, but I'm wondering what's wrong with it on your head unit that makes you want to revert to an older version?
[MTCD Software Development] Scopesys:
Nothing is wrong, but (for me, with my limited knowledge), I would like the OPTION to be able to go back to a previously saved (exported) version, if, for any reason, I want to.

I also have not updated yet to 1.79, but my current version "seems" to be running fine, and doing all I want it to.

I am all for keeping "up to date", so would like to run the latest version on Play Store, but I would like the ability to be able to go back to a previously exported version, (for whatever reasons).

I can do this with every other APP I have installed on my head unit, EXCEPT NavRadio+, and I am trying to figure out WHY this is, and find a way to re-installed older version.

Developer indicated this should not be an issue, (but I must doubt he has actually tried to do so ??).

Others have said I need to use some "IMAGINATION" (whatever that means), but so far I have not had a working solution.
[MTCD Software Development] okij:
Yes, that's fair enough! :)

I personally have my head unit rooted, so I can backup and restore apps and their settings with TitaniumBackup.

But even with TB I first have to uninstall an app if I want to revert to an older version of it. Android is quite restrictive in this matter.
[MTCD Software Development] Scopesys:
Thanks ..

I do know that I need to UNINSTALL the app first, before I can re-install a previous version.

A re-boot before the re-install often helps as well.

I do this all the time with FCC Launcer ,, probably 50+ times over the past 2 years .. and no issues.

But with NavRadio+, doing exactly the same process, it fails to install.

The ONLY way I can currently install navRadio+, is from the current version in the PlayStore.

I suspect that when I go to install a previous version, it checks with PlayStore-- detect it is NOT the current version on PlayStore,(even though the App is purchased) and then does not allow the install to complete -- but that is just a GUESS - I do nor develop PlayStore apps.

If this is the case, (and I 100% agree with the Purchase check), maybe things could be modified so it does allow an older version to be installed, provided the APP has been purchased.
[MTCD Software Development] acvaristul:
Try to disable the internet connection on your device, so that PlayStore cannot check anything. This way you check your hypothesis.
[MTCD Software Development] Scopesys:
I would HOPE that that would not work. ie I hope that the APP would check with Play store to make sure it was purchased.

SO, If anyone has figured out a way to install a previous version, I would be very eager to learn how.
[MTCD Software Development] lagos911:
Can I make navradio+ the default radio player for my unit? (android 10 hct7 launcher px6) there is any widgets for the home screen?
[MTCD Software Development] KoTiX2:
You can disable the original radio app from factory settings.

NavRadio+ has 2 home widgets one vertical and one horizontal.

The only limitation is that you cannot start the app from the panel buttons. Beside this it can replace the original app without problems.
[MTCD Software Development] KoTiX2:
A small update is coming out tomorrow to fix the logos extraction on android 10 that is broken in last version.

Sorry about it.... But on android 10 we don't have direct access to external storage anymore for security reasons and this change many things ...

Right now I found a quick way to avoid this but I'll have to make it definitive before android 11 comes in.

So version 1.80 will have this fix, the 12/24h clock fix and a couple of graphic adjustments.

Hi [MENTION=2734955]KoTiX2[/MENTION], I hope that you had a great vacation and summer time! :cool:

Now that it's mid September, I would like to come back to the remaining issues of the NavRadio+ integration in FCC.

I would like to comment on the six issues that I quoted above:

I haven't seen this much lately, maybe it has been fixed by one of your latest updates. I will keep an eye on it, but you don't have to focus on this for now.

This still happens, but also with other players that I control via the FCC Player Widget, so it might well be a bug on FCC's side. [MENTION=4292729]SpeedFire-[/MENTION]

I haven't tested this recently, but please have a look at the catlogs that I attached to post #671 when I reported this.

This still happens and must be a problem on NavRadio's side. Please look into it, because it's quite annoying and doesn't happen with other players.

Same as #4.

This is also quite annoying and doesn't happen with other media players, so it should be fixed.

Please fix these remaining issues, since the NavRadio+ integration is basically working and 80% of the work is already done. :fingers-crossed: Only the last 20% are missing to make the user experience perfect.
[MTCD Software Development] KoTiX2:
Right now I'm busy rebuilding the settings screens so I can fit more options in there.

I tried to contact [MENTION=4292729]SpeedFire-[/MENTION] about an issue I found when launching NavRadio from the icon instead of doing it from g the widget but he never replied.

Somehow the original radio services sometimes are started by fcc without any reason causing my app to abandon the audio focus and shut down.

So until he doesn't fix these original app interferences I can't really do much.

I hope he comes back alive soon...
[MTCD Software Development] okij:
That's sad, because best results are obtained when devs are cooperating.

[MENTION=4292729]SpeedFire-[/MENTION]: Please get in touch with [MENTION=2734955]KoTiX2[/MENTION] again. :)

[MENTION=2734955]KoTiX2[/MENTION]: Could you please contact him again with what you found (preferably by posting it on his FCC thread, so it doesn't get lost)?

IMHO the issues 4, 5 and 6 that I posted are independent from the FCC Player Widget issues, as they are working with other players and should be fixed in NavRadio+. So in the meanwhile, you could have a look at these issues. ;)

Yes, that's what we are also thinking on the FCC thread.

According to his profile page, he is active on XDA (at least reading), but his last post is from 29th of July, already six weeks ago, which is quite unusual. So I also hope that he is well and will soon be active again. :fingers-crossed:

I found one big problem with logo. When i travel over the country app save AF frequency and assign logo to the frequency. This is a big mistake, I take many stations with not right image. I think that logo in scan mode should always assign by PI code.
[MTCD Software Development] KoTiX2:
Logos are assigned by PI code first, if the picode is not available then it will be assigned by name and only if the name is perfectly matched is assigned.

You should enable the option to "Merge" the frequencies of same station, so that when a new frequency of the same station is found it is just added to AF list and the Logo remain the same.

It's working ok here in Italy. I don't know in Poland because your country use the "liveRDS" system.
[MTCD Software Development] Silver_:
But the switch into the different frequencies in the same logo/ station it's not automatically, at least in my case. I go to other cities in my car and I need to switch it manually.
