Implement Custom Browse Actions with Media3 MediaLibraryService

[icutvaric]

How can we implement same Custom Browse Actions described in here https://developer.android.com/training/cars/media#how_to_implement_custom_browse_actions
with Media3 MediaLibraryService?

We are in the process of adding this feature and we can use this issue to track this effort publicly. Unfortunately, we missed that Android Automotive published guidelines for this already without waiting for the Media3 implementation, so apologies for the feature gap.

@tonihei From my reading about that feature it was for Android Automotive and not Android Auto.

Did you meant that or will this be supported on Android Auto too?

@tonihei thanks for the clarification. Do you know approx. when can we expect this feature?

[tonihei]

Yes, I meant Automotive (fixed my post too). And we can't provide concrete timelines, but unfortunately it won't be part of the upcoming 1.4.0 release. We'll try to get it in as soon as possible afterwards.
