Chris,

thanks for testing. A crash log would help on any crashes you see. Btw, I don't bump the revision until the actual release build.

Crashes related to the car image don't occur immediately, it sometimes takes hours of use before it happens. When it does, clearing the App cache fixes the crash for another random period.

Speed optimization was one goal. What about the widget?

Thanks, Michael

Hey Michael,

I just installed the "release" Version on LineageOS 19.1 (Android 12) without Google components.

The vehicle setup was without any troubles. I could select the yellow VW e-UP image without crashing.

The App version is set wrong under "Vehicle info" (3.19.1, 2021122401).

Everything seems to be faster than before.

When I change the checkbox on "Track vehicle" under "Position" the App crashes. But after a new start of the app the value of the checkbox has changed.

Perhaps this first impression is of some help.

Chris

Everyone,

I'm currently working on the next Android release including KustomWidget support and a native app widget based on the old Automagic gauge widget.

Automagic has been dead for some time now, and it keeps crashing on Androids >= 7.

My changes so far are in the hub, APK builds are available here:

• https://dexters-web.de/f/tw-beta/OpenVehicleApp-22092401-release.apk
• debug build for extended logging: https://dexters-web.de/f/tw-beta/OpenVehicleApp-22092401-debug.apk

There's an issue with the App related to Android >= 10 though, which I haven't found yet. It's been reported in the forum:

• https://www.openvehicles.com/node/3410

I could use some help with that, I've got no idea other than blaming Android.

I've seen the effect in my emulator tests, and it seems to occur more frequently with non-roadster images.

Regards, Michael

Chris,

that's not a crash log, that's just a warning.

On that warning: the App requests android.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION by it's manifest. Maybe with LineageOS you need to manually give it that permission?

A crash log has class "E" (error) and includes an exception and a backtrace, for an example see: https://issuetracker.google.com/issues/201308676#comment4

On the crash: maybe it's because you don't have the Google components, not sure if FragMap can handle that.

The forum post relates to /e/OS … maybe I need some emulator images running alternative Androids now…

Hey Michael

Cool, thanx!

I just compiled the app with the new code. I got a lint error:

GPSTracker.java:73: Error: Missing permissions required by LocationManager.requestLocationUpdates: android.permission.ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION or android.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION [MissingPermission] locationManager.requestLocationUpdates( ^

so I compiled with

gradlew build -x lint

and I could build the apk.

The app is running and the checkbox crash is solved :-)

If there is anything else I can check, just let me know.

For an includable example it would be nice if we could send the vehicle image from the OVMS app to KWGT.

You can assign "Activities" to the "Touch" event on an image. Would be cool if that works, so we can start the remote climate control similar to how I do that with my OVMS-Fireplace app:

https://github.com/devmarxx/OVMS-Fireplace

Am Montag, dem 26.09.2022 um 13:56 +0200 schrieb Michael Balzer:

Nice, please go ahead if you want to create an includable example widget :-)

I've found out you can also use progress bars to display values, enable formula input on the "step" & set the formular to e.g. $br(ovms, car_soc)$.

Works, although I need to convert all car model values to strings for KWGT. Btw, I also need to unroll the TPMS arrays, they are split into a "_cnt" & "_<n>" variables. I need to add an info on this to the wiki.

I haven't found out how to send a broadcast from KWGT yet, is that possible? That would enable creating command shortcuts & buttons as with Automagic.

Everyone,

I'm currently working on the next Android release including KustomWidget support and a native app widget based on the old Automagic gauge widget.

Automagic has been dead for some time now, and it keeps crashing on Androids >= 7.

My changes so far are in the hub, APK builds are available here:

• https://dexters-web.de/f/tw-beta/OpenVehicleApp-22092401-release.apk
• debug build for extended logging: https://dexters-web.de/f/tw- beta/OpenVehicleApp-22092401-debug.apk

There's an issue with the App related to Android >= 10 though, which I haven't found yet. It's been reported in the forum:

• https://www.openvehicles.com/node/3410 I could use some help with that, I've got no idea other than blaming Android. I've seen the effect in my emulator tests, and it seems to occur more frequently with non-roadster images.

Hi Michael

I just installed the release apk on my degoogled Lineageos 19.1.

Installation went without any troubles. I tested the broadcast with my fireplace app via webinent:

action: 'com.openvehicles.OVMS.SendCommand', extras: { sel_vehicleid: vid, sel_server_password: pwd, msg_command: '7,climatecontrol on' }

It works still fine and I can see the response dialog in the OVMS app.

I don't understand the "MP function". Do you have an example for for i.e. "climatecontrol on" via Buttons in KWGT? I'd love to test that :-)

And do you know if there is a way to send intent broadcasts with KWGT? I tried with a "GLOBALE", but I could not get that to work.

Regards

Chris

New test build:

• https://dexters-web.de/f/tw-beta/OpenVehicleApp-22100801-release.apk
• https://dexters-web.de/f/tw-beta/OpenVehicleApp-22100801-debug.apk

This includes major extensions & code rewrites, I think I'll bump the version to 4.0 when releasing this to Google Play.

Main goal & outcome of this effort: command bookmarks.

The App now offers stored commands (see notifications tab). Stored commands can be pinned to the launcher and selected from third party Apps like KWGT as shortcuts to execute on triggers / actions.

So this enabled custom widgets to include buttons triggering car commands.

Commands are given using the user syntax, i.e. don't need the MP function prefix. You can still call an MP function by using the user syntax, i.e. "#…".

Command responses are shown as a dialog with a timeoout of 5 seconds unless you hold it by touching or begin scrolling a long response. If the App is paused it will be resumed and switch to the notifications page (which keeps a record of all commands & responses). If the App isn't running, only the response dialog is shown on the launcher.

All this of course needs the service to be enabled & allow commands to be sent.

Command responses are also broadcasted now, so KWGT et al can receive them -- but they will currently need to know the command sent previously and copy command responses if they need to keep them, I don't know if KWGT can do that (Automagic can). KWGT seems to only have a simple variable storage model.

I think about extending the ApiService to keep a command queue so the broadcast can at least carry the command, the response is supposedly produced for. Unfortunately the MP API cannot guarantee this, as it doesn't currently return a copy of the original command or a command ID reference with the response, so this would at best be a guess. Not sure if users actually need this.

Note: I haven't pushed the code changes to github yet, I'd first like to get some test feedback. I've tested this on Android 6, 7, 11 & 13, but not on any degoogled Androids.

For an includable example it would be nice if we could send the vehicle image from the OVMS app to KWGT.

You can assign "Activities" to the "Touch" event on an image. Would be cool if that works, so we can start the remote climate control similar to how I do that with my OVMS-Fireplace app:

Works, although I need to convert all car model values to strings for KWGT. Btw, I also need to unroll the TPMS arrays, they are split into a "_cnt" & "_<n>" variables. I need to add an info on this to the wiki.

I haven't found out how to send a broadcast from KWGT yet, is that possible? That would enable creating command shortcuts & buttons as with Automagic.

that's not a crash log, that's just a warning.

On that warning: the App requests android.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION by it's manifest. Maybe with LineageOS you need to manually give it that permission?

A crash log has class "E" (error) and includes an exception and a backtrace, for an example see: https://issuetracker.google.com/issues/201308676#comment4

On the crash: maybe it's because you don't have the Google components, not sure if FragMap can handle that.

The forum post relates to /e/OS … maybe I need some emulator images running alternative Androids now…

thanks for testing. A crash log would help on any crashes you see. Btw, I don't bump the revision until the actual release build.

Crashes related to the car image don't occur immediately, it sometimes takes hours of use before it happens. When it does, clearing the App cache fixes the crash for another random period.

Speed optimization was one goal. What about the widget?

Chris,

"com.openvehicles.OVMS.SendCommand" is the old command action, it's still supported and should work the same way as before, except there are some new extras in the response intent.

The "SendCommand" interface is raw MP function level, that's why you need to prefix "7," for text commands (7 = execute text command). Other MP commands work just the same way as raw commands, e.g. "20,<pin>" will lock the car if supported. (https://docs.openvehicles.com/en/latest/protocol_v2/commands.html)

The newly added command intent action is "com.openvehicles.OVMS.action.COMMAND", it just takes one extra "command", which takes the command just as entered in the notification page. See help there for the syntax, text commands can be given as in the shell, to send the above MP lock command, you'd enter "#20,<pin>". This action currently always sends the command to the currently selected vehicle.

KWGT doesn't support sending intents, that's why I've done all this.

To call a stored command from KWGT, set a suitable element's touch handler to "start shortcut". After clicking on that action, you can open a selector. It will show the list of shortcut providers installed including the OVMS App now. Click on the OVMS entry, then select the command from the list of stored commands.

Chris,

AFAIK you need to have an adb connection or a rooted Android to use "am", so not suitable as a general way to call OVMS commands.

With your (rooted) Lineageos you should be able to use it like this:

am broadcast -a com.openvehicles.OVMS.SendCommand -e sel_vehicleid xxx -e sel_server_password xxx -e msg_command "7,stat"

And I missed mentioning I also added support for user command syntax to "SendCommand", so you can now alternatively do

am broadcast -a com.openvehicles.OVMS.SendCommand -e sel_vehicleid xxx -e sel_server_password xxx -e command "stat"

Playing with am, I found out…

am start -n com.openvehicles.OVMS/.api.CommandActivity -a com.openvehicles.OVMS.action.COMMAND -e command "stat"

…actually works to trigger the new command receiver. I thought restricting the new receiver to app-internal intents would be possible, but it apparently isn't. That bothers me, it means any App could issue a command without knowing the credentials or an auth key and without a previous explicit user interaction to allow this.

So I need to add a credentials check to the new action, which means you will need to reinstall all bookmarks / shortcut assignments. Please wait with complex setups until I've added that.

Other MP commands work just the same way as raw commands, e.g. "20,<pin>" will lock the car if supported. (https://docs.openvehicles.com/en/latest/protocol_v2/commands.html)

The newly added command intent action is "com.openvehicles.OVMS.action.COMMAND", it just takes one extra "command", which takes the command just as entered in the notification page. See help there for the syntax, text commands can be given as in the shell, to send the above MP lock command, you'd enter "#20,<pin>". This action currently always sends the command to the currently selected vehicle.

KWGT doesn't support sending intents, that's why I've done all this.

To call a stored command from KWGT, set a suitable element's touch handler to "start shortcut". After clicking on that action, you can open a selector. It will show the list of shortcut providers installed including the OVMS App now. Click on the OVMS entry, then select the command from the list of stored commands.

Hi Michael

I just installed the release apk on my degoogled Lineageos 19.1.

Installation went without any troubles. I tested the broadcast with my fireplace app via webinent:

action: 'com.openvehicles.OVMS.SendCommand', extras: { sel_vehicleid: vid, sel_server_password: pwd, msg_command: '7,climatecontrol on' }

It works still fine and I can see the response dialog in the OVMS app.

I don't understand the "MP function". Do you have an example for for i.e. "climatecontrol on" via Buttons in KWGT? I'd love to test that :-)

And do you know if there is a way to send intent broadcasts with KWGT? I tried with a "GLOBALE", but I could not get that to work.

New test build:

• https://dexters-web.de/f/tw-beta/OpenVehicleApp-22100801-release.apk
• https://dexters-web.de/f/tw-beta/OpenVehicleApp-22100801-debug.apk

This includes major extensions & code rewrites, I think I'll bump the version to 4.0 when releasing this to Google Play.

Main goal & outcome of this effort: command bookmarks.

The App now offers stored commands (see notifications tab). Stored commands can be pinned to the launcher and selected from third party Apps like KWGT as shortcuts to execute on triggers / actions.

So this enabled custom widgets to include buttons triggering car commands.

Commands are given using the user syntax, i.e. don't need the MP function prefix. You can still call an MP function by using the user syntax, i.e. "#…".

Command responses are shown as a dialog with a timeoout of 5 seconds unless you hold it by touching or begin scrolling a long response. If the App is paused it will be resumed and switch to the notifications page (which keeps a record of all commands & responses). If the App isn't running, only the response dialog is shown on the launcher.

All this of course needs the service to be enabled & allow commands to be sent.

Command responses are also broadcasted now, so KWGT et al can receive them -- but they will currently need to know the command sent previously and copy command responses if they need to keep them, I don't know if KWGT can do that (Automagic can). KWGT seems to only have a simple variable storage model.

I think about extending the ApiService to keep a command queue so the broadcast can at least carry the command, the response is supposedly produced for. Unfortunately the MP API cannot guarantee this, as it doesn't currently return a copy of the original command or a command ID reference with the response, so this would at best be a guess. Not sure if users actually need this.

Note: I haven't pushed the code changes to github yet, I'd first like to get some test feedback. I've tested this on Android 6, 7, 11 & 13, but not on any degoogled Androids.

For an includable example it would be nice if we could send the vehicle image from the OVMS app to KWGT.

You can assign "Activities" to the "Touch" event on an image. Would be cool if that works, so we can start the remote climate control similar to how I do that with my OVMS-Fireplace app:

I've found out you can also use progress bars to display values, enable formula input on the "step" & set the formular to e.g. $br(ovms, car_soc)$.

Works, although I need to convert all car model values to strings for KWGT. Btw, I also need to unroll the TPMS arrays, they are split into a "_cnt" & "_<n>" variables. I need to add an info on this to the wiki.

I haven't found out how to send a broadcast from KWGT yet, is that possible? That would enable creating command shortcuts & buttons as with Automagic.

Chris,

that's not a crash log, that's just a warning.

On that warning: the App requests android.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION by it's manifest. Maybe with LineageOS you need to manually give it that permission?

A crash log has class "E" (error) and includes an exception and a backtrace, for an example see: https://issuetracker.google.com/issues/201308676#comment4

On the crash: maybe it's because you don't have the Google components, not sure if FragMap can handle that.

The forum post relates to /e/OS … maybe I need some emulator images running alternative Androids now…

I tested the new build. Everything is working fine for me.

I think it is a good idea to restrict the respond to only action.COMMAND and leave SendCommand for background operation.

Am Sonntag, dem 09.10.2022 um 16:05 +0200 schrieb Michael Balzer:

Chris, Michael,

new builds with the announced new security scheme:

• https://dexters-web.de/f/tw-beta/OpenVehicleApp-22100901-release.apk
• https://dexters-web.de/f/tw-beta/OpenVehicleApp-22100901-debug.apk This adds a new API key authorization to both Intent interfaces. The API key is automatically generated on App launch, and can be viewed, copied and regenerated from the general options page. It can be used for both command intents by passing in as extra "apikey", allowing to omit the vehicle password. The vehicle id is now also optional on both interfaces, if omitted the current vehicle will be used. To change the car you can either pass the vehicle password or the apikey along with the vehicle id. So with am, you can now use:
• am broadcast -a com.openvehicles.OVMS.SendCommand -e apikey … -e command "stat"
• am start -a com.openvehicles.OVMS.action.COMMAND -e apikey … -e command "stat" The second guarantees the activity is started, so the response will be visible. I'll probably restrict displaying the response to action.COMMAND in the next build, so SendCommand will be for background operations while action.COMMAND is for interactive uses. Android 10 (API 29) has a new limitation for displaying results (starting UI activities) from a service (https://developer.android.com/guide/components/activities/background-starts ), so that works only by chance now anyway.

Am Sonntag, dem 09.10.2022 um 10:53 +0200 schrieb Michael Balzer:

Chris,

AFAIK you need to have an adb connection or a rooted Android to use "am", so not suitable as a general way to call OVMS commands.

With your (rooted) Lineageos you should be able to use it like this:

am broadcast -a com.openvehicles.OVMS.SendCommand -e sel_vehicleid xxx -e sel_server_password xxx -e msg_command "7,stat"

And I missed mentioning I also added support for user command syntax to "SendCommand", so you can now alternatively do

am broadcast -a com.openvehicles.OVMS.SendCommand -e sel_vehicleid xxx -e sel_server_password xxx -e command "stat"

Playing with am, I found out…

am start -n com.openvehicles.OVMS/.api.CommandActivity -a com.openvehicles.OVMS.action.COMMAND -e command "stat"

…actually works to trigger the new command receiver. I thought restricting the new receiver to app-internal intents would be possible, but it apparently isn't. That bothers me, it means any App could issue a command without knowing the credentials or an auth key and without a previous explicit user interaction to allow this.

So I need to add a credentials check to the new action, which means you will need to reinstall all bookmarks / shortcut assignments. Please wait with complex setups until I've added that.

Regards, Michael

I took a look at the commands documentation. I will play a bit with that.

It can be used for both command intents by passing in as extra "apikey", allowing to omit the vehicle password. The vehicle id is now also optional on both interfaces, if omitted the current vehicle will be used.

Chris,

AFAIK you need to have an adb connection or a rooted Android to use "am", so not suitable as a general way to call OVMS commands.

With your (rooted) Lineageos you should be able to use it like this:

am broadcast -a com.openvehicles.OVMS.SendCommand -e sel_vehicleid xxx -e sel_server_password xxx -e msg_command "7,stat"

And I missed mentioning I also added support for user command syntax to "SendCommand", so you can now alternatively do

am broadcast -a com.openvehicles.OVMS.SendCommand -e sel_vehicleid xxx -e sel_server_password xxx -e command "stat"

Playing with am, I found out…

am start -n com.openvehicles.OVMS/.api.CommandActivity -a com.openvehicles.OVMS.action.COMMAND -e command "stat"

…actually works to trigger the new command receiver. I thought restricting the new receiver to app-internal intents would be possible, but it apparently isn't. That bothers me, it means any App could issue a command without knowing the credentials or an auth key and without a previous explicit user interaction to allow this.

So I need to add a credentials check to the new action, which means you will need to reinstall all bookmarks / shortcut assignments. Please wait with complex setups until I've added that.

Chris,

"com.openvehicles.OVMS.SendCommand" is the old command action, it's still supported and should work the same way as before, except there are some new extras in the response intent.

The "SendCommand" interface is raw MP function level, that's why you need to prefix "7," for text commands (7 = execute text command). Other MP commands work just the same way as raw commands, e.g. "20,<pin>" will lock the car if supported. (https://docs.openvehicles.com/en/latest/protocol_v2/commands.html )

The newly added command intent action is "com.openvehicles.OVMS.action.COMMAND", it just takes one extra "command", which takes the command just as entered in the notification page. See help there for the syntax, text commands can be given as in the shell, to send the above MP lock command, you'd enter "#20,<pin>". This action currently always sends the command to the currently selected vehicle.

KWGT doesn't support sending intents, that's why I've done all this.

To call a stored command from KWGT, set a suitable element's touch handler to "start shortcut". After clicking on that action, you can open a selector. It will show the list of shortcut providers installed including the OVMS App now. Click on the OVMS entry, then select the command from the list of stored commands.

New test build:

• https://dexters-web.de/f/tw-beta/OpenVehicleApp-22100801-release.apk
• https://dexters-web.de/f/tw-beta/OpenVehicleApp-22100801-debug.apk

This includes major extensions & code rewrites, I think I'll bump the version to 4.0 when releasing this to Google Play.

Main goal & outcome of this effort: command bookmarks.

The App now offers stored commands (see notifications tab). Stored commands can be pinned to the launcher and selected from third party Apps like KWGT as shortcuts to execute on triggers / actions.

So this enabled custom widgets to include buttons triggering car commands.

Commands are given using the user syntax, i.e. don't need the MP function prefix. You can still call an MP function by using the user syntax, i.e. "#…".

Command responses are shown as a dialog with a timeoout of 5 seconds unless you hold it by touching or begin scrolling a long response. If the App is paused it will be resumed and switch to the notifications page (which keeps a record of all commands & responses). If the App isn't running, only the response dialog is shown on the launcher.

All this of course needs the service to be enabled & allow commands to be sent.

Command responses are also broadcasted now, so KWGT et al can receive them -- but they will currently need to know the command sent previously and copy command responses if they need to keep them, I don't know if KWGT can do that (Automagic can). KWGT seems to only have a simple variable storage model.

I think about extending the ApiService to keep a command queue so the broadcast can at least carry the command, the response is supposedly produced for. Unfortunately the MP API cannot guarantee this, as it doesn't currently return a copy of the original command or a command ID reference with the response, so this would at best be a guess. Not sure if users actually need this.

Note: I haven't pushed the code changes to github yet, I'd first like to get some test feedback. I've tested this on Android 6, 7, 11 & 13, but not on any degoogled Androids.

For an includable example it would be nice if we could send the vehicle image from the OVMS app to KWGT.

You can assign "Activities" to the "Touch" event on an image. Would be cool if that works, so we can start the remote climate control similar to how I do that with my OVMS- Fireplace app:

Nice, please go ahead if you want to create an includable example widget :-)

I've found out you can also use progress bars to display values, enable formula input on the "step" & set the formular to e.g. $br(ovms, car_soc)$.

Works, although I need to convert all car model values to strings for KWGT. Btw, I also need to unroll the TPMS arrays, they are split into a "_cnt" & "_<n>" variables. I need to add an info on this to the wiki.

I haven't found out how to send a broadcast from KWGT yet, is that possible? That would enable creating command shortcuts & buttons as with Automagic.

MP function prefix. You can still call an MP function by
using the user syntax, i.e. "#…".

Command responses are shown as a dialog with a timeoout of 5
seconds unless you hold it by touching or begin scrolling a
long response. If the App is paused it will be resumed and
switch to the notifications page (which keeps a record of all
commands & responses). If the App isn't running, only the
response dialog is shown on the launcher.

All this of course needs the service to be enabled & allow
commands to be sent.

Command responses are also broadcasted now, so KWGT et al can
receive them -- but they will currently need to know the
command sent previously and copy command responses if they
need to keep them, I don't know if KWGT can do that
(Automagic can). KWGT seems to only have a simple variable
storage model.

I think about extending the ApiService to keep a command
queue so the broadcast can at least carry the command, the
response is supposedly produced for. Unfortunately the MP API
cannot guarantee this, as it doesn't currently return a copy
of the original command or a command ID reference with the
response, so this would at best be a guess. Not sure if users
actually need this.


Note: I haven't pushed the code changes to github yet, I'd
first like to get some test feedback. I've tested this on
Android 6, 7, 11 & 13, but not on any degoogled Androids.

Regards,
Michael

For an includable example it would be nice if we could send
the vehicle image from the OVMS app to KWGT.

You can assign "Activities" to the "Touch" event on an image.
Would be cool if that works, so we can start the remote
climate control similar to how I do that with my
OVMS-Fireplace app:

Hi Michael

I compiled the new code without any troubles (again on the commandline with -x lint).

Features and Parameters are working perfect now. My Fireplace app can send its "web intent" and my (simple) KWGT widget also does what it has to do.

Everything seems fine for me. Many thanks, again.

Regards

Chris

New builds:

• https://dexters-web.de/f/tw-beta/OpenVehicleApp-22101601-release.apk
• https://dexters-web.de/f/tw-beta/OpenVehicleApp-22101601-debug.apk This also fixes the feature & parameter bug, but major change is the command activity & service rework. Command shortcuts now also work without the service enabled, i.e. start the service on demand. This even works reasonably fast. I've removed all UI activities from the service, so this should now basically work the same way on all Android versions. The command activity now also supports queueing, multiple commands can be sent to it at once. It will execute them in series, with each result being shown for 5 seconds or according to user interaction. On commands returning multiple rows, only the first 10-15 will be shown. Command intent extras for action com.openvehicles.OVMS.action.COMMAND are now:
• Intent extras expected/supported: * - vehicleid (optional) * - apikey or (with vehicleid) password * - title (optional) * - command (optional, no command means only change the car) * * Commands need to be in user input syntax: * - MMI/USSD commands: prefix "*", example: "*100#" * - Modem commands: prefix "@", example: "@ATI" * - MP MSG commands: prefix "#", example: "#31" * - Text commands: everything else, example: "stat"

Changes are on github, tests & feedback are welcome.

If you've added command bookmarks somewhere before, you may need to delete and recreate them to see the title in the UI.

Regards, Michael

Starting in landscape and then turning to portrait is fixed :-)

Nothing changed with the old ScaleLayout, it's on my list, but with low priority.

So I don't think it's fixed, was working sometimes before.

Chris, Michael, thanks for tests & feedback.

Code changes so far are now in the hub:

https://github.com/openvehicles/Open-Vehicle-Android/commit/c23b3dbd772bdae7...

...

This has become a very large commit, and it mixes some version update changes that became necessary & deprecation fixes I should have kept separate, but cannot disentangle now.

Some things still to do for the release, most notably removing UI interaction from the service. So if any other stuff shall be added to the next release, tell me & go ahead preparing that.

Regards, Michael

Am 09.10.22 um 17:09 schrieb Chris van der Meijden:

I tested the new build. Everything is working fine for me.

I think it is a good idea to restrict the respond to only action.COMMAND and leave SendCommand for background operation.

Chris, Michael,

new builds with the announced new security scheme:

• https://dexters-web.de/f/tw-beta/OpenVehicleApp-22100901-

release.apk

...

...

• https://dexters-web.de/f/tw-beta/OpenVehicleApp-22100901- debug.apk This adds a new API key authorization to both Intent interfaces. The API key is automatically generated on App launch, and can be viewed, copied and regenerated from the general options page. It can be used for both command intents by passing in as extra "apikey", allowing to omit the vehicle password. The vehicle id is now also optional on both interfaces, if omitted the current vehicle will be used. To change the car you can either pass the vehicle password or the apikey along with the vehicle id. So with am, you can now use:
• am broadcast -a com.openvehicles.OVMS.SendCommand -e apikey … -e command "stat"
• am start -a com.openvehicles.OVMS.action.COMMAND -e apikey … -e command "stat" The second guarantees the activity is started, so the response will be visible. I'll probably restrict displaying the response to action.COMMAND in the next build, so SendCommand will be for background operations while action.COMMAND is for interactive uses. Android 10 (API 29) has a new limitation for displaying results (starting UI activities) from a service

(https://developer.android.com/guide/components/activities/background-starts

...

), so that works only by chance now anyway.

Hi Michael,

thank you for your response. As always of great help :-)

Good that you could find a possible security risc concerning the credentials.

Am Sonntag, dem 09.10.2022 um 10:53 +0200 schrieb Michael Balzer:

Chris,

AFAIK you need to have an adb connection or a rooted Android to use "am", so not suitable as a general way to call OVMS commands.

With your (rooted) Lineageos you should be able to use it like this:

am broadcast -a com.openvehicles.OVMS.SendCommand -e sel_vehicleid xxx -e sel_server_password xxx -e msg_command "7,stat"

And I missed mentioning I also added support for user command syntax to "SendCommand", so you can now alternatively do

am broadcast -a com.openvehicles.OVMS.SendCommand -e sel_vehicleid xxx -e sel_server_password xxx -e command "stat"

Playing with am, I found out…

am start -n com.openvehicles.OVMS/.api.CommandActivity -a com.openvehicles.OVMS.action.COMMAND -e command "stat"

…actually works to trigger the new command receiver. I thought restricting the new receiver to app-internal intents would be possible, but it apparently isn't. That bothers me, it means any App could issue a command without knowing the credentials or an auth key and without a previous explicit user interaction to allow this.

So I need to add a credentials check to the new action, which means you will need to reinstall all bookmarks / shortcut assignments. Please wait with complex setups until I've added that.

Regards, Michael

I have been playing with the "SH" function of KWGT and tried to send a broadcast over the shell, like adb:

'am broadcast -a com.whereismywifeserver.intent.TEST --es sms_body "test from adb"'

That did not work, there where "rights" issues.

I took a look at the commands documentation. I will play a bit with that.

Thanx for explaining!

I build from Android Studio, no special settings (should all be in the files).

Chris, Michael, thanks for tests & feedback.

Code changes so far are now in the hub: https://github.com/openvehicles/Open-Vehicle-Android/commit/c23b3dbd772bdae7...

This has become a very large commit, and it mixes some version update changes that became necessary & deprecation fixes I should have kept separate, but cannot disentangle now.

Some things still to do for the release, most notably removing UI interaction from the service. So if any other stuff shall be added to the next release, tell me & go ahead preparing that.

Regards, Michael

Am 09.10.22 um 17:09 schrieb Chris van der Meijden: I tested the new build. Everything is working fine for me.

I think it is a good idea to restrict the respond to only action.COMMAND and leave SendCommand for background operation.

Am Sonntag, dem 09.10.2022 um 16:05 +0200 schrieb Michael Balzer:

Chris, Michael,

new builds with the announced new security scheme:

• https://dexters-web.de/f/tw-beta/OpenVehicleApp-22100901-release.apk
• https://dexters-web.de/f/tw-beta/OpenVehicleApp-22100901-debug.apk

This adds a new API key authorization to both Intent interfaces. The API key is automatically generated on App launch, and can be viewed, copied and regenerated from the general options page.

It can be used for both command intents by passing in as extra "apikey", allowing to omit the vehicle password. The vehicle id is now also optional on both interfaces, if omitted the current vehicle will be used. To change the car you can either pass the vehicle password or the apikey along with the vehicle id.

So with am, you can now use:

• am broadcast -a com.openvehicles.OVMS.SendCommand -e apikey … -e command "stat"
• am start -a com.openvehicles.OVMS.action.COMMAND -e apikey … -e command "stat"

The second guarantees the activity is started, so the response will be visible.

I'll probably restrict displaying the response to action.COMMAND in the next build, so SendCommand will be for background operations while action.COMMAND is for interactive uses.

Android 10 (API 29) has a new limitation for displaying results (starting UI activities) from a service (https://developer.android.com/guide/components/activities/background-starts), so that works only by chance now anyway.

Regards, Michael

Chris,

AFAIK you need to have an adb connection or a rooted Android to use "am", so not suitable as a general way to call OVMS commands.

With your (rooted) Lineageos you should be able to use it like this:

am broadcast -a com.openvehicles.OVMS.SendCommand -e sel_vehicleid xxx -e sel_server_password xxx -e msg_command "7,stat"

And I missed mentioning I also added support for user command syntax to "SendCommand", so you can now alternatively do

am broadcast -a com.openvehicles.OVMS.SendCommand -e sel_vehicleid xxx -e sel_server_password xxx -e command "stat"

Playing with am, I found out…

am start -n com.openvehicles.OVMS/.api.CommandActivity -a com.openvehicles.OVMS.action.COMMAND -e command "stat"

…actually works to trigger the new command receiver. I thought restricting the new receiver to app-internal intents would be possible, but it apparently isn't. That bothers me, it means any App could issue a command without knowing the credentials or an auth key and without a previous explicit user interaction to allow this.

So I need to add a credentials check to the new action, which means you will need to reinstall all bookmarks / shortcut assignments. Please wait with complex setups until I've added that.

Regards, Michael

'am broadcast -acom.whereismywifeserver.intent.TEST --essms_body "test fromadb"'

That did not work, there where "rights" issues.

I took a look at the commands documentation. I will play a bit with that.

Thanx for explaining!

Chris,

"com.openvehicles.OVMS.SendCommand" is the old command action, it's still supported and should work the same way as before, except there are some new extras in the response intent.

The "SendCommand" interface is raw MP function level, that's why you need to prefix "7," for text commands (7 = execute text command). Other MP commands work just the same way as raw commands, e.g. "20,<pin>" will lock the car if supported. (https://docs.openvehicles.com/en/latest/protocol_v2/commands.html)

The newly added command intent action is "com.openvehicles.OVMS.action.COMMAND", it just takes one extra "command", which takes the command just as entered in the notification page. See help there for the syntax, text commands can be given as in the shell, to send the above MP lock command, you'd enter "#20,<pin>". This action currently always sends the command to the currently selected vehicle.

KWGT doesn't support sending intents, that's why I've done all this.

To call a stored command from KWGT, set a suitable element's touch handler to "start shortcut". After clicking on that action, you can open a selector. It will show the list of shortcut providers installed including the OVMS App now. Click on the OVMS entry, then select the command from the list of stored commands.

Regards, Michael

Am 08.10.22 um 17:54 schrieb Chris van der Meijden: Hi Michael

I just installed the release apk on my degoogled Lineageos 19.1.

Installation went without any troubles. I tested the broadcast with my fireplace app via webinent:

action: 'com.openvehicles.OVMS.SendCommand', extras: { sel_vehicleid: vid, sel_server_password: pwd, msg_command: '7,climatecontrol on' }

It works still fine and I can see the response dialog in the OVMS app.

I don't understand the "MP function". Do you have an example for for i.e. "climatecontrol on" via Buttons in KWGT? I'd love to test that :-)

And do you know if there is a way to send intent broadcasts with KWGT? I tried with a "GLOBALE", but I could not get that to work.

Chris

New test build:

• https://dexters-web.de/f/tw-beta/OpenVehicleApp-22100801-release.apk
• https://dexters-web.de/f/tw-beta/OpenVehicleApp-22100801-debug.apk

This includes major extensions & code rewrites, I think I'll bump the version to 4.0 when releasing this to Google Play.

Main goal & outcome of this effort: command bookmarks.

The App now offers stored commands (see notifications tab). Stored commands can be pinned to the launcher and selected from third party Apps like KWGT as shortcuts to execute on triggers / actions.

So this enabled custom widgets to include buttons triggering car commands.

Commands are given using the user syntax, i.e. don't need the MP function prefix. You can still call an MP function by using the user syntax, i.e. "#…".

Command responses are shown as a dialog with a timeoout of 5 seconds unless you hold it by touching or begin scrolling a long response. If the App is paused it will be resumed and switch to the notifications page (which keeps a record of all commands & responses). If the App isn't running, only the response dialog is shown on the launcher.

All this of course needs the service to be enabled & allow commands to be sent.

Command responses are also broadcasted now, so KWGT et al can receive them -- but they will currently need to know the command sent previously and copy command responses if they need to keep them, I don't know if KWGT can do that (Automagic can). KWGT seems to only have a simple variable storage model.

I think about extending the ApiService to keep a command queue so the broadcast can at least carry the command, the response is supposedly produced for. Unfortunately the MP API cannot guarantee this, as it doesn't currently return a copy of the original command or a command ID reference with the response, so this would at best be a guess. Not sure if users actually need this.

Note: I haven't pushed the code changes to github yet, I'd first like to get some test feedback. I've tested this on Android 6, 7, 11 & 13, but not on any degoogled Androids.

You can assign "Activities" to the "Touch" event on an image. Would be cool if that works, so we can start the remote climate control similar to how I do that with my OVMS-Fireplace app:

New test build:

• https://dexters-web.de/f/tw-beta/OpenVehicleApp-22100801- release.apk
• https://dexters-web.de/f/tw-beta/OpenVehicleApp-22100801- debug.apk

This includes major extensions & code rewrites, I think I'll bump the version to 4.0 when releasing this to Google Play.

Main goal & outcome of this effort: command bookmarks.

The App now offers stored commands (see notifications tab). Stored commands can be pinned to the launcher and selected from third party Apps like KWGT as shortcuts to execute on triggers / actions.

So this enabled custom widgets to include buttons triggering car commands.

Commands are given using the user syntax, i.e. don't need the MP function prefix. You can still call an MP function by using the user syntax, i.e. "#…".

Command responses are shown as a dialog with a timeoout of 5 seconds unless you hold it by touching or begin scrolling a long response. If the App is paused it will be resumed and switch to the notifications page (which keeps a record of all commands & responses). If the App isn't running, only the response dialog is shown on the launcher.

All this of course needs the service to be enabled & allow commands to be sent.

Command responses are also broadcasted now, so KWGT et al can receive them -- but they will currently need to know the command sent previously and copy command responses if they need to keep them, I don't know if KWGT can do that (Automagic can). KWGT seems to only have a simple variable storage model.

I think about extending the ApiService to keep a command queue so the broadcast can at least carry the command, the response is supposedly produced for. Unfortunately the MP API cannot guarantee this, as it doesn't currently return a copy of the original command or a command ID reference with the response, so this would at best be a guess. Not sure if users actually need this.

Note: I haven't pushed the code changes to github yet, I'd first like to get some test feedback. I've tested this on Android 6, 7, 11 & 13, but not on any degoogled Androids.

For an includable example it would be nice if we could send the vehicle image from the OVMS app to KWGT.

You can assign "Activities" to the "Touch" event on an image. Would be cool if that works, so we can start the remote climate control similar to how I do that with my OVMS-Fireplace app:

https://github.com/devmarxx/OVMS-Fireplace

Nice, please go ahead if you want to create an includable example widget :-)

I've found out you can also use progress bars to display values, enable formula input on the "step" & set the formular to e.g. $br(ovms, car_soc)$.

Works, although I need to convert all car model values to strings for KWGT. Btw, I also need to unroll the TPMS arrays, they are split into a "_cnt" & "_<n>" variables. I need to add an info on this to the wiki.

I haven't found out how to send a broadcast from KWGT yet, is that possible? That would enable creating command shortcuts & buttons as with Automagic.

I like the new KWGT Widget feature:

Above is the Tesla Widget of our Model 3, beneath that my OVMS KWGT widget of our VW e-UP.

I had to allow "Passing data to other apps". The syntax for getting the intent variables to text in KWGT is i.e.

$br(ovms, car_sel_vehicle_label)$

Other variables can be found here:

The image is local on the filesystem of the phone and does not come by intent.

Chris,

that's not a crash log, that's just a warning.

On that warning: the App requests android.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION by it's manifest. Maybe with LineageOS you need to manually give it that permission?

A crash log has class "E" (error) and includes an exception and a backtrace, for an example see: https://issuetracker.google.com/issues/201308676#comment4

On the crash: maybe it's because you don't have the Google components, not sure if FragMap can handle that.

The forum post relates to /e/OS … maybe I need some emulator images running alternative Androids now…

this is from logcat when I change "Track vehicle" and the app crashes:

I saw now, that this crash also happens in the production app.

The widget is running well. I will keep the app running for while and will see if it stays stable.

Michael,

the default image set only provides generic front doors. Follow the wiki guide to integrate extended / model specific images:

Also related - the front door opening icon doesn't quite line up with the main image (it's showing a bit down from the door on the Hyundai Ioniq image).

What's the process for getting a new Image for the Ioniq 5?  I saw somebody suggested the module being able to provide it, which would be good.

There's an issue with the App related to Android >= 10 though,
which I haven't found yet. It's been reported in the forum:

I could use some help with that, I've got no idea other than
blaming Android.

I've seen the effect in my emulator tests, and it seems to occur
more frequently with non-roadster images.

Better: due to bad connectivity from the car to the server? 

Am Mittwoch, dem 28.09.2022 um 08:43 +0200 schrieb Chris van der Meijden:

I added

intent.putExtras(mCarData.getBroadcastData());

on line 524 in api/ApiService.java

without success. I still saw the switching to "Loading" and back.

I deleted all my "$br(ovms, ...)$" and it still shows the "Loading" beh auviour.

So, sorry, it seems to be a LineagOS problem.

Am Mittwoch, dem 28.09.2022 um 13:33 +0200 schrieb Michael Balzer:

I don't see this effect on my KWGT test devices with my test widgets.

The car data already is buffered twice, once on the server and once in the App.

I added Kustom broadcasts on push notifications and command results, the one on command results doesn't include the standard car data yet. Maybe that breaks some of your widget formulas?

To try, add… intent.putExtras(mCarData.getBroadcastData()); …in ApiService.onResultCommand() before the sends.

Hi Michael

My KWGT widget switches constantly between displaying the information (3 "broadcast" text elements and one image) and "Loading ...":

Could it be, that we need some kind of buffer in the ApiService.java in case the app is not able to provide the actual intent array due to bad connectivity from the app to the server?

Ok, I have had a look at that, and hopefully can get an Ioniq 5 image going.

Is it possible to change the tyre pressure display to kPa?
