I think this separation between "dock mode" and "dock event" is a bit confusing, I expected those to belong together, even if only "emulated". But of course there might be situations where this separation is useful... So if I understood this correctly: ACTION_DOCK_EVENT is for apps that want to respond to "real" dock changes, like showing some activity, notification, or toast. It's supported since Android 2.0, and can't be emulated since 2.2. UiModeManager and Configuration.uiMode allow to query the current mode, which is the way to go if the app should e.g. show different layouts depending on the dock mode, but only exists since Android 2.2. UiModeManager also allows to (de)activate the car mode. Right? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
