Android Auto Detection
Detection of Android Auto connection is useful fine-tuning information for possible screen sharing detection observer notifications. A new connection to Android Auto typically causes multiple virtual displays to be added (and some to be removed immediately). This triggers screen sharing detection with transient changes.
Android Auto connection is reported as part of screen sharing detection. It’s present in both - the screen sharing callback data of the RaspObserver and in the manually obtained screen sharing detection data. Changes to Android Auto connection also trigger screen sharing callback of the RaspObserver.
The Android Auto detection data can also be independently queried by triggering a manual check.
Triggering a Manual Check
Android Auto detection check can be triggered manually in RaspManager. The method getAndroidAutoDetection() provides a detailed answer.
val androidAutoDetection: AndroidAutoDetection = raspManager.getAndroidAutoDetection()
