Android auto for OsmAnd is a paid feature either through subscription or one-time purchase. Has anyone tried it and do you think its worth it?

How to do this?
I built a custom app to do it since I couldn’t manage to fire the relevant intents from an adb shell without root.
I lifted the code from AAAD
Specifically the InstallAPK method in MainActivity.java
Intent intent; if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.N) { intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_INSTALL_PACKAGE); intent.setData(getUri(file)); intent.setFlags(Intent.FLAG_GRANT_READ_URI_PERMISSION | Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK); } else { intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW); intent.setDataAndTypeAndNormalize(Uri.fromFile(file), "application/vnd.android.package-archive"); intent.addFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK); } intent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_NOT_UNKNOWN_SOURCE, true); intent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_INSTALLER_PACKAGE_NAME, "com.android.vending"); getApplicationContext().startActivity(intent); }
Basically you construct an Intent
ACTION_INSTALL_PACKAGE
with data pointing to the APK file and the extrasEXTRA_NOT_UNKNOWN_SOURCE=true
andEXTRA_INSTALLER_PACKAGE_NAME="com.android.vending"
which tells the installer that this APK is not sideloaded and it’s the play store asking to install it.You might still need to enable unknown sources in Android Auto developer settings (separate from phone developer settings).
If I remember, I’ll try to pull the code for my app from my PC and post it.
Now that you mentioned AAAD, i found out about the other app for root devices - https://github.com/shmykelsa/AA-Tweaker
This works for me, so now OsmAnd is showing up in my Android Auto screen.
Thanks for the tip
