AppSwitcher - smart SWC launcher (for Junsun and similar devices) incl. autostart

[TorstenH]

I also use a device with canbus an had to search the log for the right button code. Entered it in the short button press log entry and left the other two empty. Works fine.

Any tricks required to suppress the standard action of the SWC key?

Indeed that would be alot of help. P.s. will try with the different spaces between keyCode as you suggested today and will let you know.

That was a question
I think as soon as AppSwitcher will work on your head unit the standard action gets triggered in parallel...

No, not necessary in my case. I use the button "end call" for AppSwitcher. So no real collision in daily use. While talking on the phone I don't need to switch apps. The standard action is active in parallel.

Excellent idea.

Maybe you missed a space before the colon?

keyCode : 220
or
keyCode:220
or
keyCode: 220

And please add it only! at "short press log entry". Enter some other text which doesn't occure in the "on press" and "long press" fields, please.

Hi, so as feedback I tried everything and nothing is registering :-(

Service is running and you have the app icon on Staus bar?

 

[TorstenH]

Added version 2.6.14alpha which is the most stable version so far.

Thanks to @Jetblack31 for his testing engagement

Even the version is not final, I removed all previous versions on first post because they may lead to a bootloop on 8667 devices.

As always: please provide your feedback. Not only but also in case of issues. Friendy user feedback is my motivation to continue this project...

Radio and Bt already included in for_launchers.zip

Can maybe included in car_apk.zip
Let me know if not. Best you reply in linked thread to keep topics separated.

Post in thread 'Junsun V1 - start equalizer/AUX/BT music/... from launcher' https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...-bt-music-from-launcher.4237797/post-85047137

@TorstenH I have managed to make it work with another key on the panel that did not have a function by default, with this it works for me, since the touch screen is very far from me when driving and from the panel it has better access. Thanks for the contributions so far, working well.

Added version 2.6.20 to first post.

What's new:
- enabled GPS provider if coarse location can't get retrieved. This may fix dimming feature on some devices
- added "always show launcher on 2nd position" . This allows to return to home screen if "Long press log entry" can't be used.
- reorganized settings menu


(screenshot taken on phone for better overview)


Your feedback is highly appreciated!

 

[TorstenH]

To protect non-8257X devices from bootloop the option to change the fullscreen flag is temporarily disabled in version 2.6.21alpha:



A changed logic will be implemented as soon as I have feedback for JunsunSleepConfigurator which uses an adjusted logic to modify system files.

Hi, where is the status bar always on top setting, I can't see, with 8667 chip. By the way, my car is with canbus, I'm open to tests, I'll help. Thanks in advance!

Hi, where is the status bar always on top setting, I can't see in 8667 chip. Thanks in advance!

In latest AppSwitcher version this feature is disabled on non-825X devices:

https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...-devices-incl-autostart.4435555/post-88153011

The feature will come back as soon as I got user feedback for JunsunSleepConfigurator. So if you're interested in getting the feature support me by testing 8667 compatibility:

Hi, i tried the app on V1 8667 chip, I installed both the launcher and the application, in principle I had set up auto nav, I set the nav for auto start AppSwitcherStarter, but after waking up it only says that the launcher is started and nothing happens nor does it stratify my navigation(Waze) nor anything, I have set them in appswitcher but they don't start. Where could the problem come from? I am ready to assist as a tester.

This needs to be set in factory settings (code 8878)

but after waking up it only says that the launcher is started and nothing happens

You should see a notification and the app logo on status bar if the service is running.

nor does it stratify my navigation(Waze) nor anything,

Only last used media app gets started automatically if you enable the corresponding setting. Apps defined as navigation app getting not started automatically.

Yes I have set it from the 8878 menu, and it starts, but nothing else happens. If I have selected nav app from appswitcher will the navigation be started automatically when the service starts, or should it be via a button on the steering wheel. I'm with canbus so for now i can't use steering wheel control.

No, apps selected as navigation apps get only started via SWC.
You know that 8878 users made it work with canbus?
@Jetblack31 can you give a hint how to your setup/configuration looks like?

Attached version 2.6.22alpha to first post.

What's new:

- Improved thread handling to improve stability and performance.

- AppSwitcher is compatible with sleep mode, now. AppSwitcher will be immediately ready after the head unit wakes up.

You will be able to add it to the white list using

Junsun JunsunSleepConfigurator

JunsunSleepConfigurator On Junsun V1 (pro) devices apps get killed before head unit enters sleep mode. So you have to restart the apps every time you continue your ride. The file /vendor/etc/qb_list.xml defines which apps should be just...

forum.xda-developers.com

Simply add AppSwitcher to the white list ...

-->

-->


... and reboot your device.
There is no need to add AppSwitcherStarter to the white list.

AppSwitcher automatically registers on Junsuns Quickbootmanager to get the "wake up" signal (e.g. to start the last used media app).

ok, I got it, can I help with tests if we can add the status bar to always be on top work and for 8667?

Hi, concerning my set up, auto nav is on in 8878, AppSwitcher Starter is the navi app defined in the preferences. In 8878 / Menu Icons, I removed all apps of the array except CAR INFO and NAVI. This allowed to free some of the buttons of my SWC and prevented from some interferences with Appswitcher.
Then I used logcat to find the key numbers. I found that keys 10 and 11 corresponded to the 2 buttons I wanted to use for short and long press. I configured Appswitcher and it works!
