Hi, Thanks for the help!
I have tried the suggestions but still unable to get it to work. The
"Main" Activity has an intent filter in the manifest but the activity
does not get called. Below is my manifest. My broadcast receiver is
also listed below. The receiver seems to be working when it is placed
in the dock but the standard CarDock.apk is loaded. Then if I press
the back key on the phone it shows my activity. It also gets launched
when it is undocked.
Are the intent-filters setup correctly?
<uses-library android:name="com.google.android.maps" />
<activity android:name="MyActivity"
android:label="@string/app_name">
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
<category
android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" /
>
</intent-filter>
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
<category
android:name="android.intent.category.CAR_DOCK" /
>
</intent-filter>
</activity>
<activity android:name="MyOtherActivity"
android:label="Search"
android:launchMode="singleTop">
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.SEARCH" />
<category
android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT" />
</intent-filter>
</activity>
<receiver android:name="MyBroadcastReceiver"
android:enabled="true">
<intent-filter>
<action
android:name="android.intent.action.DOCK_EVENT"/>
<category
android:name="android.intent.category.CAR_DOCK" />
</intent-filter>
</receiver>
