My Question or Issue

Hello,

I am implementing the Spotify API on an Android Automotive application and am currently trying to deeplink to the native Android automotive Spotify application following the documentation at Android Content Linking

Following snippet returns true, running my app on an AAOS emulator with Spotify installed:

PackageManager pm = getPackageManager(); boolean isSpotifyInstalled; try { pm.getPackageInfo("com.spotify.music", 0); isSpotifyInstalled = true; } catch (PackageManager.NameNotFoundException e) { isSpotifyInstalled = false; }

Therefore, I try to deeplink content as in example below:

final String spotifyContent = "https://open.spotify.com/album/0sNOF9WDwhWunNAHPD3Baj"; Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW); intent.setData(Uri.parse(spotifyContent)); intent.setPackage("com.spotify.music"); startActivity(intent);

This seems to not work on Android Automotive, opening the same project on a regular Android tablet emulator with the mobile Spotify app installed and opening the deeplink works without issue.

Therefore my question: Is Deeplinking supported on the android automotive application? If yes, what am I missing here?
