Right that's in plan. And we've look at that issue yesterday, we cannot add NavRadio/NavRadio+ into media list cause they did conflict with vivid radio, but in next release we'll actually try to let them working well with vivid launcher but cannot control by vivid launcher.

Hi, I'm the developer of NavRadio+.
I found that to make my app work with vivid launcher i need to add a mediaplayer service in my code so the launcher can properly give audiofocus to my app.
Right now NavRadio start only a mediasession to send logo and radio infos but I'm working on adding the mediaplayer service to avoid these kind of problems, i just need to find the time and proper way to add it.
In the while I can tell you some actions that could be usefull:

The main NavRadio+ service is "com.navimods.radio.RadioService"
The NavRadio_free service is "com.navimods.radio_free.RadioService"

To start playing and gain audiofocus: "navimods_play_action"
To stop the service: "navimods_stop.service"
To switch to next station: "navimods_next_action"
To switch to prev station: "navimods_prev_action"

I hope this help a bit.

If you need more infos, feel free to ask.

Thank you for your reply. How navRadio will normally work with VIVID is great. To make the FM VIVID radio more extensive (station logo, station description ..) it would not be necessary to NavRadio
Best regards

1. Improve media auto play when startup
2. Add delete call history function
3. Add user can skip OTA version function
4. Fix bugs

Welcome. Today, while driving the car, the unit with the latest version of VIVID reset and there was no sound in the NavRadio application. I changed radio stations, but there was no sound. I had to enter the original FM vivid radio, the sound appeared, I pressed on the pause, I started NavRadio and the sound was already there. I don't know why. Maybe this information will be helpful? Best regards

@vivid_1 I have one more question. the maps vew on home page follows the car placeholder ina kind of step-by-step mode, is not smooth in movement as maps uses to be.
is that normal? for my understanding only.

aaaand, I've downloaded offline maps to avoid to use my smartphone everytime in hotspot mode. but once I come out from the cached map, it shows it blurry even if it's present offline into maps. any clue on this?

The offline downloaded maps for Google maps are not used by the widget....is part of the limitation of the Google maps API used. You can use Google Maps opened and you will see your offline maps correctly. This issue was explained by vivid team before.
