note app-tempo* <- The github release with all the android auto/chromecast features

app-degoogled* <- The izzyOnDroid release that goes without any of the google stuff.

As usual, any dev contributions appreciated as I am not actually a java/mobile dev, so my progress is significantly slower than those who do this on the daily.

Big thanks to all the folks who have been contributing.

I'm trying to figure out how I add groups, specifically groups i have on my mobile app to my terminal.

simple x help suggested I add a directory bot but It is still not clear how i can connect to an existing group in the CLI, i'd expect /groups list should return some kind of list but that option doesn't exist.

Any tips appreciated!

EDIT: Well, looks like I figured it out. I need to find the URL from the group in the website, then paste that after /connect <URL>

This worked for a few but anything that required a captcha just didn't work, so not sure if there is a way around that.

Hi All, my fork of Tempo has had a rebrand, which was a requirement to get back into the app stores as the original Tempo still exists in F-Droid/IzzyOnDroid

Tempus v4.0.7

Attention

This release will not update previous installs as it is considered a new app, no longer Tempo, new icon, new app id, and new app name. Hoping it will not be a huge inconvenience but was necessary in order to publish to app stores izzyDroid

Android Auto Support should be the same as before, however, I was not able to test any of the icons/visuals, so please let me know if there are any remnants of the tempo logo/icon as I believe I removed them all and replaced them successfully.

What's Changed

fix: Crash on share no expiration date or field returned from api
fix: Check also underlying transport 
feat: Unhide genre from album details view 
fix: persist album sorting on resume 
chore: Tempus rebrand 
chore: Update Polish translation 

Now available via the IzzyOnDroid Repository -> https://apt.izzysoft.de/fdroid/index/apk/com.eddyizm.degoogled.tempus

Hi All, I am not sure if this is post is ok here so please let me know if not. I did not see any other android community that was a decent size for development so figured there might be some devs in here.

I recently forked an FOSS project that has an android auto component to it. I don't have a physical device to test with in my car so I need to set up an emulator.

Challenge is, I am struggling to figure out how to do so, from what I can gather, it is either the same? or you can launch from a local device connected via usb and it launches to an emulator as if it was a head unit? I am clearly missing something and all the articles I've seen have not really gotten me over the finish line.

Any links or tips appreciated!
