send track informations via A2DP/AVRCP

Question

I\'m trying to send track informations via A2DP/AVRCP. Right now, music is perfectly streamed, but on the \"receiver\" (ie: car audio), the \"track informations screen\" is

You don't need to control SDK_INT if you are using Compat version of components. Below code tested with many car bluetooth devices and works like charm. Some devices don't understand some KEYs so it's better to use possible KEY. Reference. Don't forget to .build() after putBitmap not before

public static void sendTrackInfo() {
if(audioManager == null) {
    audioManager = (AudioManager) getSystemService(Context.AUDIO_SERVICE);
}

if (mMediaSession == null) {
    mMediaSession = new MediaSessionCompat(this, "PlayerServiceMediaSession");
    mMediaSession.setFlags(MediaSessionCompat.FLAG_HANDLES_TRANSPORT_CONTROLS);
    mMediaSession.setActive(true);
}

if (audioManager.isBluetoothA2dpOn()) {
    try {
        String songTitle = getTitle();
        String artistTitle = getArtist();
        String radioImageUri = getImagesArr().get(0);
        String songImageUri = getImagesArr().get(1);
        long duration = getDuration();

        final MediaMetadataCompat.Builder metadata = new MediaMetadataCompat.Builder();

        metadata.putString(MediaMetadataCompat.METADATA_KEY_TITLE, songTitle);
        metadata.putString(MediaMetadataCompat.METADATA_KEY_DISPLAY_TITLE, songTitle);
        metadata.putString(MediaMetadataCompat.METADATA_KEY_ARTIST, artistTitle);
        metadata.putString(MediaMetadataCompat.METADATA_KEY_ALBUM_ARTIST, artistTitle);
        metadata.putString(MediaMetadataCompat.METADATA_KEY_ART_URI, radioImageUri);
        metadata.putString(MediaMetadataCompat.METADATA_KEY_DISPLAY_ICON_URI, radioImageUri);
        metadata.putString(MediaMetadataCompat.METADATA_KEY_ALBUM_ART_URI, songImageUri);
        metadata.putLong(MediaMetadataCompat.METADATA_KEY_DURATION, duration);

        imageCounter = 0;

        Glide.with(act)
                .load(Uri.parse(radioImageUri))
                .asBitmap()
                .into(new SimpleTarget(250, 250) {
                    @Override
                    public void onResourceReady(Bitmap bitmap, GlideAnimation anim) {
                        metadata.putBitmap(MediaMetadataCompat.METADATA_KEY_ART, bitmap);
                        metadata.putBitmap(MediaMetadataCompat.METADATA_KEY_DISPLAY_ICON, bitmap);

                        imageCounter = imageCounter + 1;

                        if(imageCounter == 2) {
                            mMediaSession.setMetadata(metadata.build());
                        }
                    }
                });

        Glide.with(act)
                .load(Uri.parse(songImageUri))
                .asBitmap()
                .into(new SimpleTarget(250, 250) {
                    @Override
                    public void onResourceReady(Bitmap bitmap, GlideAnimation anim) {
                        metadata.putBitmap(MediaMetadataCompat.METADATA_KEY_ALBUM_ART, bitmap);

                        imageCounter = imageCounter + 1;

                        if(imageCounter == 2) {
                            mMediaSession.setMetadata(metadata.build());
                        }
                    }
                });
    }
    catch (JSONException e) {
        e.printStackTrace();
    }
}
