Constructors

public Session()

Methods

public abstract Screen onCreateScreen(Intent intent)

Requests the first Screen for the application.

Once the method returns, Screen.onGetTemplate() will be called on the Screen returned, and the app will be displayed on the car screen.

To pre-seed a back stack, you can push Screens onto the stack, via ScreenManager.push(Screen) during this method call.

Called by the system, do not call this method directly.

Parameters:

intent: the intent that was used to start this app. If the app was started with a call to CarContext.startCarApp(Intent), this intent will be equal to the intent passed to that method

public void onNewIntent(Intent intent)

Notifies that the car app has received a new .

Once the method returns, Screen.onGetTemplate() will be called on the Screen that is on top of the Screen stack managed by the ScreenManager, and the app will be displayed on the car screen.

Often used to update the current Screen or pushing a new one on the stack, based off of the information in the intent.

Called by the system, do not call this method directly.

Parameters:

intent: the intent that was used to start this app. If the app was started with a call to CarContext.startCarApp(Intent), this intent will be equal to the intent passed to that method

See also: CarContext.startCarApp(Intent)

public void onCarConfigurationChanged(Configuration newConfiguration)

Notifies that the CarContext's has changed.

At the time that this function is called, the CarContext's resources object will have been updated to return resource values matching the new configuration.

Called by the system, do not call this method directly.

See also: CarContext

public Lifecycle getLifecycle()

Returns the Session's Lifecycle.

Here are some of the ways you can use the sessions's Lifecycle:

What each lifecycle related event means for a session:

The session has just been launched, and this session is being initialized. Session.onCreateScreen(Intent) will be called at a point after this call.
Session.onCreateScreen(Intent)
The host is ready for this session to create the first Screen so that it can display its template.
The application is now visible in the car screen.
The user can now interact with this application.
The user can no longer interact with this application.
The application is no longer visible.
The OS has now destroyed this Session instance, and it is no longer valid.

Listeners that are added in , should be removed in .

Listeners that are added in should be removed in .

Note lifecycle callbacks will be executed on the main thread.

See also: LifecycleObserver

public void setLifecycleRegistryInternal(LifecycleRegistry registry)

public final CarContext getCarContext()

Returns the CarContext for this session.

The CarContext is not expected to be available until this session's is at least . Further, some instance methods within CarContext should not be called before this state has been reached. See the documentation in CarContext for details on any such restrictions.
