android-auto

I'm developing an audio player application, and I need to determine when the user's device is connected to Android Auto.

However, we can't see our development app on the actual device. The Auto documentation is still a little bit thin, but I'm gathering based on some wording I

I have an Android Auto app. I would like to take advantage of pagination for browsing within the app. It seems that you can set EXTRA_PAGE and EXTRA_PAGE_SIZE by getting a reference to the MediaBrowserCompat and passing those constants in .subscribe(). However, I can't figure out how to get a reference to the MediaBrowserCompat that Android Auto Audio uses in order to call .subscribe(). This seems way too complicated for something that should be simple, am I just overthinking things? How to get the reference to the Android Auto MediaBrowser? For it, you suppose to know the package name and the
