I'm trying to integrate an OpenAuto/Android Auto setup into the upper dashboard display of my 2011 Civic, which isn't really in the best position for a touchscreen as it's too far away to get to whilst driving (it's also behind a plastic cover). So I wanted to control it via a rotary knob and some buttons I'm going to make by the gear stick, as below:
The problem I'm having is that whilst OAP/AA works fine, I'm having issues getting to certain menus on apps in Android Auto. For example, if I want to use Waze for navigation, I can't get to the part of the screen where I'd search for a destination, and even if I do (using voice commands), I can't exit navigation using the X in the corner because I can't get to it without a touchscreen. This occurs on various apps, including Google's own maps app, but it's not quite as bad.
I found this reference on the Android Developers site https://developer.android.com/training/c...d-bindings
I'm currently using a keyboard to test before I build the controller and map commands to it. It says that I can use the arrow keys (or shift+arrow keys) to move about the interface, but this doesn't work at all, even in OAP. I can only use up/down on the arrow keys to jump to certain parts of the UI, left/right do nothing. I think that's what's preventing me from getting to where I need to be in various parts of the interface. Is this a bug, or is there something I'm missing?
I'm using OAP 3.3.2RC on a Raspberry Pi 4B. Apologies in advance if this is in the wrong section.
