Any updates on this? It's been a month already since I reported it, and it seems this crash is occurring quite frequently for my users.

I am still regularly receiving reports about this issue, and it seems it has not been addressed in the latest 1.4.0-rc01 release.

Seems like a fairly easy fix on our end. I'll see to that it is fixed in 1.5.

The fix will be available in 7.6

Looking.

Hi Samuel, from my understanding this issue occurred when you tried to set CarIcon in the 'Cue' of the Step, I tested adding the CarIcon in the 'Cue' but didn't see this issue.

Not in the secondary instruction, it happens in the main instruction.

Please read the details from the first post, there are also screenshot of where it happens.

So just to show a sample of the problem again. As you can see in the main instruction the upper and lower part is cut, however in the secondary instruction it is fully visible.

This uses CarIconSpan.ALIGN_CENTER. If i use bottom or top, it will be moved more to bottom or more to top. Earlier the image was just shrinked to line size.

If multiple lines are shown, the icon normally is fully shown, however it is still larger than the line height. Whole code:

CarIcon roadRefIcon = new CarIcon.Builder(IconCompat.createWithBitmap(bitmap)).build();
CarIconSpan carIconSpan = CarIconSpan.create(roadRefIcon, CarIconSpan.ALIGN_CENTER);
...
SpannableString cueSpan = new SpannableString(cueText);
cueSpan.setSpan(carIconSpan, replaceIndex, REPLACE_WITH_SVG.length() + replaceIndex, Spannable.SPAN_INCLUSIVE_EXCLUSIVE);
instructionStep.setCue(cueSpan);

We did not change any code, stopped working somewhere between Android Auto 7.3 and 7.5.

Hi rangarid@googlemail.com, I noticed that you are using the 1.1.0 version of CAL, have you tried to update your CAL version to 1.2.0?

No but this is clearly an issue with the android auto app, as the behaviour changed from one version to another. Also there is no stable release version above 1.1.0 yet, so we don't want to update yet.

Also it was promised to be resolved with 7.6. earlier, so why was that even said if there could be a problem in the car lib?

Hi rangarid@googlemail.com, we do have a stable release version of 1.2.0, do you have access to it?

I can only see the RC, which is not a release. I just build a new version of our app with that version for testing and will report back here.

It's still cut off with 1.2.0-rc01.

This should be easily reproducible in the sample app too, so please fix it!

I just reproduced this in the sample app. In navigation app in DemoScript change step 1 to this:

        CarIcon roadRefIcon = new CarIcon.Builder(IconCompat.createWithResource(carContext, R.drawable.circle)).build();
        CarIconSpan carIconSpan = CarIconSpan.create(roadRefIcon, CarIconSpan.ALIGN_CENTER);
        SpannableString cueSpan = new SpannableString("bla 123");
        cueSpan.setSpan(carIconSpan, 0, 1, Spannable.SPAN_INCLUSIVE_EXCLUSIVE);

        Step step1 =
                new Step.Builder("State Street")
                        .setManeuver(
                                getManeuverWithExitNumberAndAngle(
                                        carContext,
                                        Maneuver.TYPE_ROUNDABOUT_ENTER_AND_EXIT_CCW_WITH_ANGLE,
                                        step1IconResourceId,
                                        2,
                                        270))
                        .setRoad("State Street")
                        .addLane(straightNormal)
                        .addLane(straightNormal)
                        .addLane(straightNormal)
                        .addLane(straightNormal)
                        .addLane(rightHighlighted)
                        .setLanesImage(lanesImage)
                        .setCue(cueSpan)
                        .build();

And use the png from here for circle: https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/0/07/Orange_circle.png/480px-Orange_circle.png

BTW the car app samples repository is also quite messed up, it uses 1.3.0-alpha01 lib stuff but only requires 1.2.0 in build gradle and also the build gradle plugin version with 4.0.1 is wrong as it does not compile. I used 7.0.4. Please also fix the samples repo.

Wrong gralde version https://github.com/android/car-samples/blob/main/car_app_library/build.gradle#L25

Wrong car lib version: https://github.com/android/car-samples/blob/main/car_app_library/navigation/common/build.gradle#L39

Hi rangarid@googlemail.com, thanks for your reply. We were able to reproduce the bug and we have located the bug, will work with the team to push a fix soon.

Hi,

did you fix this yet? If so in which version it will be available?

Hi rangarid@googlemail.com, our team is working on it.

This is still not fixed in 8.1

It should be fixed by now.
