[Android][Other] Android Auto polish

vt_hokie2008 — Wed, 22 Jul 2015 20:30:40 GMT

As a new user to Android Auto, I'm a bit disappointed with a few things the Spotify app is missing.

I'm unable to see all of my playlists, only the top 10 or so
I'm unable to see any track lists in a playlist to find a song (though Spotify on CarPlay does this)
No shuffle toggle
No repeat toggle
Next/Skip from steering wheel controls isn't mapped to Next in Spotify (perhaps a limitation outside of Spotify's control)

Hello!
1. That should not happen. How many playlists exactly do you see and how many are missing?
2 & 3. What happens if you press on the left button with the line and the note icon? Should bring up the list of songs. Also clicking on the 3 dots should bring up the shuffle icon.

5. This really seems to be a limitation of the specific car since according to the FAQs that should be supported.

Feel free to open a new ideas topic to request the repeat button. Thanks!

Hi, I've noticed the same issue reported by vt_hookie2008 with number 1: all the lists have more or less 10 elements (Playlist, artists, songs, etc). It will be fixed or it's a Android Auto limitation? This bug prevent me to use Spotify with Android Auto 😞

The playlist limitation is the fault of android auto. In the name of safety, Google has limited the amount of scrolling (or clicks) one can do, so there are only a limited number of playlists shown.
