Android Automotive FEATURE_AUTOMOTIVE . My application is unable to identify FEATURE_AUTOMOTIVE

[Rohit Iti]

This function always returns back with initcar: hasSystemFeature failed. 

if(!getBaseContext().getPackageManager().hasSystemFeature(getBaseContext().getPackageManager().FEATURE_AUTOMOTIVE))

{
Log.d(TAG, "initcar: hasSystemFeature failed");
return;
}

Manifest file changes  :

<uses-feature android:name="android.hardware.type.automotive" android:required="true" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.FEATURE_AUTOMOTIVE" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.hardware.type.automotive" />

Can anyone advise where am going wrong ?

please try this:

if(!getBaseContext().getPackageManager().hasSystemFeature(PackageManager.FEATURE_AUTOMOTIVE)) 

{
Log.d(TAG, "initcar: hasSystemFeature failed");
return;
}

With this in manifest:

<uses-permission android:name="android.car.permission.CAR_INFO" />

    <uses-permission android:name="android.car.permission.CAR_ENERGY" />

    <uses-permission android:name="android.car.permission.READ_CAR_DISPLAY_UNITS" />

    <uses-permission android:name="com.google.android.gms.permission.CAR_SPEED" />

    <uses-permission android:name="android.car.permission.CAR_SPEED" />

    <uses-permission android:name="android.car.permission.VMS_PUBLISHER" />

    <uses-permission android:name="android.car.permission.VMS_SUBSCRIBER" />

    <uses-permission android:name="android.car.permission.CAR_DISPLAY_IN_CLUSTER" />

    <uses-permission android:name="android.car.permission.CAR_NAVIGATION_MANAGER" />

This worked for me on Android Automotive emulator.

And try with android:required="false", instead of true;
Like so:

<uses-feature
android:name="android.hardware.nfc"
android:required="false" />
<uses-feature
android:name="android.hardware.bluetooth"
android:required="false" />
<uses-feature
android:name="android.hardware.location.gps"
android:required="false" />
<uses-feature
android:name="android.hardware.location"
android:required="false" />
<uses-feature
android:name="android.hardware.touchscreen"
android:required="false" />
<uses-feature
android:name="android.hardware.location.network"
android:required="false" />
<uses-feature
android:name="android.hardware.faketouch"
android:required="false" />
<uses-feature
android:name="android.hardware.wifi"
android:required="false" />
<uses-feature
android:name="android.hardware.screen.portrait"
android:required="false" />
<uses-feature
android:name="android.hardware.screen.landscape"
android:required="false" />
<uses-feature
android:name="android.hardware.type.automotive"
android:required="false" />
