Android Auto boot/connected receiver

I'm currently developing app for Android Auto (Android for cars). I need to know when user connected phone to car. Is there any action like Intent.ACTION_POWER_CONNECTED, which I can observe in my application code?

Solution

  • You can use the CarConnection API from the Android for Cars App Library. Note that, unlike most other APIs in the library, you just need a Context and not a CarContext to call this API, so it can be used outside of a CarAppService.
