We are implementing keyboard support for navigation. Using aosp_car_x86_64-userdebug build.
Added hw.keyboard = yes under /aosp_android/device/generic/car/common/config.ini
Keyboard focus is enabled, able to navigate through app launchers, settings etc. But the problem is on the home screen. When the tab is pressed the focus is only on the media icon (marked red in the image) and focus doesn't shift to the bottom navigation bar (marked purple in the image).
Added android:focusable="true" and android:focusableInTouchMode="true" to all the buttons under navigation bar view.
